(AAB1,AAB8,AAB9)[求助]请大N指点三道本月jj 急！！明考！－AA B1 B8 B9

B1.The following appeared in a memorandum from the head of a human resources department at a major automobile manufacturing company to the company's managers:

“Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, our employees’ motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.”

My opinion: 1。studies are dubioius

                   2.只采访了 not-for -profit, 并不知道for-profit 的人的motive

                   3. 就算our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to  humanitarian causes，可能也达不到预期效果，那两种人是不同的，而且需要 comprehensive analysis 才能知道是否有利可图。

B8. The following appeared in a presentation by the chief production manager of a machine parts manufacturing company at a management meeting:

“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar of production costs. Therefore, we can reduce our overall drill bit production costs by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production. Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs, dedicating the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production and shifting all other machine part production to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal.”

My opinion:

1.没准几个厂一块儿生产效率更高, 就那一个厂生产可能效率降低

2。我without detailed analysis we can not say that "reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs, "

3。是不是还有个either/or choice?

3.

B9.The following appeared in a memorandum to a team developing accounting software for SmartPro Software, Inc.:

“Currently, more professional accountants use SmartPro accounting software than any other brand. However, in the market for personal accounting software for non-professionals to use in preparing their income tax returns, many of our competitors are outselling us. In surveys, our professional customers repeatedly say that they have chosen SmartPro Software because our most sophisticated software products include more advanced special features than competing brands. Therefore, the most effective way for us to increase sales of our personal accounting software for home users would clearly be to add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer.”

My opinion:

1. advanced software可能只适合professional customers

2.without analysis it is imprudent to say "add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer" is the most effective way,

3.竞争对手outsell可能不是因为software的问题，可能是售后服务好什么的。

这是我的拙见，望指点！！

B1 B9这里有讨论。

B8: lack of evidence, 有点sweeping generation.

1. 对于why cookville地区生产drill bit零件的效率高这一问题没有进行分析，原因不明确，所以need more information to conclude that"we can reduce our overall drill bit production costs by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production"。如果是不可复制的原因，即时都由cookville来生产，也不一定能够节约成本。

2. 关于shifting all other machine part production to our other factories所带来的成本变化也不确定。如果其结果是成本增高的话，那么即使第一点成立，成本增减相抵，也不能conclude that "help us to attain that larger goal"

3. (对楼主第2点的补充)减少part production cost不一定能够减少entire production cost,还有个组装的问题。新的生产安排可能会造成transportation费用的增加，而有可能导致production cost的最终增加。

LZ对B8的weaken我感觉不是很好说

本人拙见，是不是可以加上这两条：

可能确实，C厂生产的drill bits是最多的，但是质量却没有其他厂的好，销量并不乐观；

假设该企业的主打产品就是那个drill bits，而且要量很大，要是全让C厂做，C厂即使生产率最高，也是不可能生产出其他所有厂的产量的和的，而且其他厂会没有事情做。这样是不明智的
