13.    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 of markets.
答案: E. 原文逻辑不是很难,可是,问题我没有看懂, 黑体的那部分说得好绕啊, 明白的高手帮帮忙吧!

黑体字的意思是：
下面哪一个理由可以解释：在一家公司和其他家公司比较的时候，应该选择不是这家的公司的竞争对手来比较，而不是选择这家公司的竞争者来比较！

感觉翻译出来真的是土呀！！
呵................


against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors
这边是一个并列！

benchmarking这个东东看成compare 就可以拉！
我自己这么看的：
benchmarking  .......against .............
等于：
compare ........ with.........

可能不对，但可以有助于理解！

Appreciate any comments!
