A survey of entrepreneurs who started companies last year shows that while virtually all did substantial preparatory research and planning, only half used that work to produce a formal business plan.Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed in half the time of those with plans, these survey results indicate that, in general, formal plans did not help the entrepreneurs who produced them to secure the capital they needed.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Companies started by entrepreneurs who had used formal business plans to attract investment were on the whole as profitable in their first year as were companies started by entrepreneurs who had not produced such plans.
In surveys of entrepreneurs who have attempted without success to raise sufficient capital, more than half of the respondents indicate that they have produced a formal business plan.
Among the entrepreneurs surveyed, those who did not produce formal business plans sought and received a much larger proportion of their capital from investors with whom they had a long-standing business relationship.
The entrepreneurs surveyed who did not produce a formal business plan spent nearly as much time doing preparatory research and planning as the entrepreneurs who produced plans.
The entrepreneurs who produced business plans generally reported later that the process of writing the plan had increased their confidence that their company would succeed. 答案选C，我选的是E，不知道为什么，觉得E挺对的呀
e说提供biz plan的人觉得写plan增加成功的信心。。我觉得这跟拿不拿到钱貌似没关系。。作者: luyiqing 时间: 2010-5-14 18:58

那位同能够帮忙翻译一下“Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed in half the time of those with plans”这句话的意思啊…… in half the time……愣是没有看懂 选了个D好像和争议的A C E都没关系><作者: kobegibson 时间: 2011-6-20 20:00
这题是这个意思: 一个调查说在去年的创业者中，所有人都有商业计划在脑子里，但只有一半人真花时间真正写出来了。因为那些没真写计划的筹资时间比写了计划的创业者快了一倍，所以计划还不如不写。 C直接撅了此说法 - 不写计划的人是有关系，不用写就知道能筹到钱所以不写。作者: kobegibson 时间: 2011-6-20 20:04
in half the time就是筹钱时间是 写了计划的创业者 的一半的意思。作者: aaintw 时间: 2011-6-22 10:31
