多读读置顶的帖子

joe11为什么给出了语法区的链接啊。：）

请楼主参照置顶的流沙的贴中的链接。

另外，我建议楼主再好好看看这几个选项，它们和原文是否存在细微的差异呢？

GWD-3-Q23 to GWD-3-Q26:

      Why firms adhere to or deviate

       from their strategic plans is poorly

       understood.  However, theory and

Line limited research suggest that the

  (5)      process through which such plans

emerge may play a part.  In particular,

top management decision-sharing—

consensus-oriented, team-based

decision-making—may increase the

(10)      likelihood that firms will adhere to their

plans, because those involved in the

decision-making may be more com-

mitted to the chosen course of action,

thereby increasing the likelihood that

(15)      organizations will subsequently adhere

to their plans.

      However, the relationship between

top management decision-sharing and

adherence to plans may be affected

(20)      by a firm’s strategic mission (its fun-

       damental approach to increasing

       sales revenue and market share, and

generating cash flow and short-term

profits).  At one end of the strategic

(25)      mission continuum, “build” strategies

are pursued when a firm desires to

increase its market share and is willing

to sacrifice short-term profits to do so.

At the other end, “harvest” strategies

(30)      are used when a firm is willing to

sacrifice marked share for short-term

profitability and cash-flow maximiza-

       tion.  Research and theory suggest

that top management decision-sharing

(35)     may have a more positive relationship

with adherence to plans among firms

with harvest strategies than among

firms with build strategies.  In a study

      of strategic practices in several large

(40)     firms, managers in harvest strategy

scenarios were more able to adhere

to their business plans.  As one of the

managers in the study explained it,

this is partly because “typically all a

(45)      manager has to do [when implementing

a harvest strategy is that which was

done last year.”  Additionally, man-

agers under harvest strategies may

have fewer strategic options than do

(50)      those under build strategies; it may

therefore be easier to reach agree-

ment on a particular course of action

through decision-sharing, which will

in turn tend to promote adherence

(55)      to plans.  Conversely, in a “build”

strategy scenario, individual leader-

ship, rather than decision-sharing,

may promote adherence to plans.

Build strategies—which typically

(60)      require leaders with strong perso-

nal visions for a firm’s future, rather

than the negotiated compromise

of the team-based decision—may

be most closely adhered to when

(65)      implemented in the context of a clear

strategic vision of an individual leader,

rather than through the practice of

decision-sharing.

E选项文章说的很清楚啊?! D我没有找到出处, 唯一一次提到Cash-flow的地方也没有说什么Importance.

我觉得答案应该是D吧?

还是这里讨论的充分了。我的倾向答案也不一定对。就不误导了。
