就算是自己练习一下吧,还请NN指教,错误之处尽请提出啊。。 In this argument the CEO reached a conclusion that failures in the human resources department account for their falling profits. That is because for the past two years, new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those they used to attract have not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries, while eight years ago firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee they added. Although at first glance, the argument appears to be somewhat plausible, it has some significant drawbacks and the author's reasoning is logically flawed. By not only carefully evaluating the author's reasoning and logic but also performing a deep and fundemental case-by-case analysis, we can see the author fails to consider the following factors.
In the first place, The CEO fails to assume that the background conditions of the last two years have remained the same as those of eight years ago. The relative conditions of eight years ago can not bring about the warranted evidence which draws the CEO’s conclusion that failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits. For example, the preference of the consumers to electronics products has been changing. Eight years ago people use the mobile phone just to communicate or send message, while the last two years video and MP3 in the mobile phone are available to all according to their preference.
Secondly, the CEO fails to consider other factors that maybe significantly influence the profit rather than the aspect of the employees. It is correct that the profit margin depends on the difference of revenue and cost. However, it is not the case that the cost equals to the salaries of emplyees. We could not ignore the cost such as that paid for the research, the advertising, and other operation fees due to the inflation. It is more likely that the cost above performs a great deal of the revenue as well as the cost, and it is unfair to contribute the falling profit margin to the aspect of the employees. Unless other cost is considered and eliminated from the total cost, the salaries can not be responsible for the falling profit margin.
Thirdly, the evident that our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries is unwarranted. Admittedly, the rate of revenue to their salaries has declined since the last two years. However, it is not to say new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract is redundant. In consumer electronics manufacturing industry, what play an more necessary role on the competition and share of market are the talents, which also contribute to our future strategy. Futhermore, how to manage the talent to utilize their potential ability accoding to the market is what we now should consider.
To sum up, although the fact that our profit margin has been falling for the past two years, the conclusive recommendation that failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits is gratuitous because the CEO fails to consider the important imformation above entirely. The conclusion is unfair for the human resources department and may be harm to the development for the firm unless the CEO handles an entirely and thoroughly observation. |
