GWD3-23

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 agreement

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15:

Which of the following best describes the function of the first sentence (lines 17-24) of the second paragraph of the passage?

              

1. To answer a question posed in the first sentence of the passage about why firms adopt particular strategic missions


2. To refute an argument made in the first paragraph about how top management decision-making affects whether firms will adhere to their strategic plans


3. To provide evidence supporting a theory introduced in the first paragraph about what makes firms adhere to or deviate from their strategic plants


4. To qualify an assertion made in the preceding sentence (lines 6-16) about how top management decision-making affects the likelihood that firms will adhere to their strategic plans


5. To explain a distinction relied on in the second paragraph (lines 17-68) regarding two different kinds of strategic missions

下载的答案是E，也有很多人支持D。

但是就不说B呢？？？也没有人回答B为什么不对！！D里面的to qualify有问题，而E的distinction也有问题。明显文中有一个however....在考试的时候，出现这么转折的词语，在那么段时间思考，肯定第一时间考虑B的refute拉，而且B整句话也较好的说出第一段的意思，加上however是连接词，应该把这句话连接上文，怎么又考虑到E呢？

昨天晚上做的，就只有这道搞得我想了一个晚上！

复习的进度有点慢，阅读只去到GWD3，SC才到GWD5，CR才分类复习了两种题型。趁这个周末，把GWD给吭透，起码完成CR和SC。

这两天看了GWD的逻辑，感觉思路清晰了许多，特别看了LAWYER 的分类总结，还有里面对假设题目的汇总，真是受益良多，想见恨晚！！！晚点把自己的心得体会和总结提上来

首先，我觉得不能因为第二段有however，就认为是对上一段的refute。要根据文章的具体意思，转折不一定就是对上面观点的反对。

我对这篇文章结构的理解是：第一段提出公司有时坚持计划有时违反计划，其中的原因很难解释。然后给出了一个解释：可能是制定计划的过程在其中发挥着作用，并接着强调了如果计划的制定是top management decision-sharing，那么公司坚持其计划的执行的可能性会更大。第二段接着说firm’s strategic mission可能会对这两者之间的关系产生影响，如果是harvest，这两者的positive relationship 会更大；如果是build，可能leaders决定坚持计划，而不一定是decision-sharing。

所以说，第二段第一句并不是反对上文的观点，而是对上文的一个限定，我同意选D

同意tania的意见，这道题关键是对qualify的理解，我一开始选的是B

前面都没有印象了。主要是这周做的题目才拿出来讨论的，所以记得住。等我回去GWD后再来和v22讨论。我前面的都没有讨论过。

en  ....想想B的how top management decision-making affects whether firms will adhere to their strategic plans有点不妥，第一段主要是说top management decision-sharing 与likelihood that firms will adhere to their plans的关系。。。。。不是说how。。。

可是，这样我就倾向选E了，现在/ 因为D的qualify不行，没有qualify的意思，如果是qualify的话，就会支持decision-sharing 与likelihood that firms will adhere to their plans怎样怎样的.....

这样还是选E好。谢谢诸位！！！

GWD28的语法：

28-8: In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country’s size and that brought its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.

A: In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country’s size and that brought

B: For about four cents an acre the United States acquired, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country’s size and it brought

C: With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing

D: The United States, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, for about four cents an acre, acquired 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country’s size, bringing

E: Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country’s size and bringing

认为是D，很多人选了C

28-20: In the 1820’s, anthracite coalfields opened in eastern Pennsylvania, and when canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal that was exported to the nation’s growing mills, forges, factories, and railways.

A: when canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal that was

B: once canals and eventually railroads reaching into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal having been

C: with canals and eventually railroads reaching into the region, there had been substantial supplies of coal

D: canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, with substantial supplies of coal being

E: as canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, substantial supplies of coal were

偶认为是A，主要是AE的区别，E的后面were修饰supplies有问题，大家说说？

可以看看偶跟某斑竹的讨论，去本贴83、84、86楼
