One way to judge the performance of a company is to compare it with other companies. This technique, commonly called “benchmarking,” permits the manager of a company to discover better industrial practices and can provide a justification for the adoption of the good practices.

Any of the following, if true, is a valid reason for benchmarking the performance of a company against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors EXCEPT:

(A)  Comparisons with competitors are most likely to focus on practices that the manager making the comparisons already employs.

(B)   Getting “inside” information about the unique practices of competitors is particularly difficult.

(C)   Since companies that compete with each other are likely to have comparable levels of efficiency, only benchmarking against noncompetitors is likely to reveal practices that would aid in beating competitors.

(D)  Managers are generally more receptive to new ideas that they find outside their own industry.

(E)   Much of the success of good companies is due to their adoption of practices that take advantage of the special circumstances of their products or markets.

 想请问一下，这类题目应该属于哪类题目啊？找一个合理的原因是属于layer的哪类呢?

Ｅ，先看出比较关系，通过ｒａｔｈｅｒ　ｔｈａｎ确定支持非竞争，而不是竞争，前面是ｖａｌｉｄ　ｒｅａｓｏｎ，所以是支持题。

下面看选项就可以了，Ｅ说多数成功来自采用他们产品或市场（同类）的特殊措施，就是说和竞争有关系，所以是ｉｎｖａｌｉｄ。

其他都是和非竞争的相关，或者支持非竞争导致好的结果。

说明下benchmarking的意思，以便更好理解题目~~~呵呵~~~

benchmarking:标杆管理，其核心是比较各个企业开展其价值链中一些基本的活动和职能的优劣程度！

这句话怎么翻译 for benchmarking the performance of a company against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors
            

the performance of 到最后是benchmarking 的补足语么?

第一个against.....是修饰company还是the performance?

which it is 中的is是支持的意思么?

好迷茫啊！！！哪位NN帮忙解释一下～～～～万分感谢

推的出答案为(E)

可是(A)Comparisons with competitors are most likely to focus on practices that the manager making the comparisons already employs.

OG的解释 Since benchmarking against competitors would yield few new practices, it would be better to benchmark against noncompetitors. 不了解压!!!

请NN帮忙解释一下吧!!!

参考这两个帖子,说的比较清楚

A的意思就是说,公司对直接竞争对手采用benchmarking,容易使经理人专注于已经实施过了的方法,(而不是去发现更好的方法).就是反驳了

"公司的经理人也可以用这个技术去发现更好的实践方法并判断这个实践方法的实施是否有效"这个意思.

是不是评价题啊？
