【OG12-CR第100题】就是那个Benchmarking的那道题~求解释！

Veronica韩

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.

这个问题是比较搞一些，遇到长句读不懂，从结构入手，先把“句子构架”看清楚，这里这个长句两个“against”，警铃响！要平行结构了（语法题做多了，哈哈~~），其实就是against后面的两个内容作比较，即“和非竞争对手比，而不是和竞争对手比”，但是有了“EXCEPT”后，意思反过来了，我们要找的是“要和竞争对手比”的选项。
这个读懂了，选项其实不难。og对选项的解释很清楚，只有E是在说要和竞争对手比的理由，因为“special circumstance of their products or markets”就是在说竞争对手，一个意思。

我自己把OG上的解释翻译了下，请问这么翻译对么？
首先，筛选信息明白把公司和competitor与noncompetitor比较的优势和劣势。
公司用benchmark与noncompetitor比较的原因。noncompetitor company容易获得信息;提供new insight,容易付诸实践。
为什么还要用BM与competitor进行比较？competing companies 有同样的环境，包括产品和市场。如果公司经常成功是因为与他们所在的行业有关的环境，那么BM对于competitor更有效~

这个题就是题目有些绕，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 competitionrather than against competitors EXCEPT
其实就是一个公司和非竞争对手进行benchmark,题目中的companies with which it is not in competition=noncompetitior.
那么E选项说的是许多公司的成功是因为他们对产品和市场的特殊环境进行自身调整，那么这种成功是因为跟竞争对手进行benchmark，所以它应该排除。
希望可以帮到你。

这个解释得好 ”他们的产品和市场的特殊环境“ 那么这种环境一定是和其他也生产这些产品的公司所共生的环境 那不就是competing的环境么 所以E选项支持了competing 即唯一一个不是支持noncompeting的选项（题问）

这个就是现代管理理论之一的标杆制吧 没记错应该是丰田首创的
题目的意思是下面哪一个支持企业与同行业竞争对手进行标杆管理（EXCEPT反过来 或者也可以把它看作是个削弱）个人感觉EXCEPT题其实比较简单 选项的逻辑链都很清晰
ABCD都是讲与非竞争者进行标杆管理的好处或者与同行业竞争者进行标杆的不好处
只有Especial circumstances of their products or markets这个是关键 还有前面的success

cao!!! 我也是把他们看成一个结构了 搞死人 ！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
