文章：Essay #6. 196 (22098-!-item-!-188;#058&00196-00)

According to P. F. Drucker, the management philosophy known as Total Quality Management (TQM), which is designed to be adopted consistently throughout an organization and to improve customer service by using sampling theory to reduce the variability of a product's quality, can work successfully in conjunction with two older management systems. As Drucker notes, TQM's scientific approach is consistent with the statistical sampling techniques of the "rationalist" school of scientific management, and the organizational structure associated with TQM is consistent with the social and psychological emphases of the "human relations" school of management.

However, TQM cannot simply be grafted onto these systems or onto certain other non-TQM management systems. Although, as Drucker contends, TQM shares with such systems the ultimate objective of increasing profitability, TQM requires fundamentally different strategies. While the other management systems referred to use upper management decision-making and employee specialization to maximize shareholder profits over the short term, TQM envisions the interests of employees, shareholders, and customers as convergent. For example, lower prices not only benefit consumers but also enhance an organization's competitive edge and ensure its continuance, thus benefiting employees and owners. TQM's emphasis on shared interests is reflected in the decentralized decision-making, integrated production activity, and lateral structure of organizations that achieve the benefits of TQM.

(A) point out contradictions in a new management system
(B) compare and contrast the objectives of various management systems
(C) identify the organizational features shared by various management systems
(D) explain the relationship of a particular management system to certain other management systems
(E) explain the advantages of a particular management system over certain other management systems

A选项错在什么地方？是new不对吗？

第一段提出TQM（consisent的地方）
第一段指出矛盾点
A不对吗~
感觉A更加从structre出发D从内容上出发

~~~~我的思路哪里出了问题，跪求赐教~！

查了一下前人贴，综合20题，LZ弄明白了
第一段提出TQM可以的地方
第一段However, TQM cannot simply be grafted onto these systems or onto certain other non-TQM management systems、
cannot simply 更像是让步而不是转折~

没说这个TQM system矛盾啊，只是说这个系统挺不错的，与其他两个系统也兼容，最终追求的目标是一样的，只是他们追求目标的错采取的基本策略时不一样的，所以不能简单得嫁接到另外两个系统，所以整篇文章是在比较TQM与其他两个的关系。
