标题: [求助]gwd－7－37

   Firms traditionally claim that they

   downsize (i.e., make permanent

   personnel cuts) for economic reasons,

Line    laying off supposedly unnecessary staff

  (5)    in an attempt to become more efficient

and competitive.  Organization theory

would explain this reasoning as an

example of the “economic rationality”

that it assumes underlies all organi-

(10)    zational activities.  There is evidence

that firms believe they are behaving

rationally whenever they downsize; yet

recent research has shown that the

actual economic effects of downsizing

(15)    are often negative for firms.  Thus,

organization theory cannot adequately

explain downsizing; non-economic

factors must also be considered.

One such factor is the evolution of

(20)    downsizing into a powerful business

   myth:  managers simply believe that

   downsizing is efficacious.  Moreover,

downsizing nowadays is greeted

favorably by the business press; the

(25)    press often refers to soaring stock

prices of downsizing firms (even though

research shows that stocks usually

rise only briefly after downsizing and

then suffer a prolonged decline).

(30)    Once viewed as a sign of desperation,

downsizing is now viewed as a signal

that firms are serious about competing

   in the global marketplace; such signals

are received positively by key actors—

(35)    financial analysts, consultants,

shareholders—who supply firms with

vital organizing resources.  Thus, even

if downsizers do not become economi-

   cally more efficient, downsizing’s mythic

(40)    properties give them added prestige

in the business community, enhancing

their survival prospects.

GWD-7-Q37:

According to the passage, the “key actors” (line 34) view a firm’s downsizing activities as an indication of the firm’s

troubled financial condition

inability to develop effective long-term strategies

inability to retain vital organizational resources

desire to boost its stock price

desire to become more competitive

答案是B，可我怎么都觉得很明显应该是C嘛，这道题在gwd中没人讨论过，难道大家都没问题吗？.....哪位兄弟帮忙指正一下。

It should be E.

downsizing is now viewed as a signal

that firms are serious about competing

in the global marketplace;

...

downsizing’s mythic

(40) properties give them added prestige

in the business community, enhancing

their survival prospects.

多谢！我在觉得B明显不对的同时也被它误导了，老往inability上去想，呵呵。

作者: dinosaure 时间: 2004-11-17 12:55

我也认为是E,由 ...that firms are serious about competing in global marketplace能推知;

有不同看法吗?

btw:另外阅读区的GWD讨论汇总的置顶怎么不见了?

怎么没人?

我的GWD里怎么没有这道题呢？我的gwd7-37是一道逻辑题呀！

作者: sammaijgd 时间: 2005-9-5 21:49
晕死我的版本GWD37是逻辑.....

作者: 水蓝27 时间: 2005-9-19 14:54

我的也是，好像GWD有几个版本

还好这道题比较正常～～～呵呵

肯定樓上的定位

選項B 跟文章無關,沒有任何字眼顯示有任何關聯故不選

定位清楚, 毫無疑問是Key factor正面地的肯定downsizer的做法

因為此種企業瘦身的做法被認為是力爭國際市場的表徵

答案是 E

我的37题也是逻辑题

不知道还有没有别的GWD套题版本不一样的？

应该是E

B中inability的负面评价是错的

作者: nicole_jiang 时间: 2006-4-30 16:47
