100. 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 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.
答案是E,但是我不懂为什么“the special circumstances of their products or markets.” 就是指competitior了呢???
ABCD一个个看下来都可以排除,这没问题吧 到E, E是无关选项嘛 (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. 很多好公司的成功都源于他们对自身产品与市场的特殊情况的利用。这和这个公司是不是同行根本毫无关系
因为问题问的是下面那些 不是 benchmarking the performance of a company against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors 的原因
只要不能解释就可以了。E不能解释问题,所以选E,而不是说“the special circumstances of their products or markets.” 就是指competitior
