GWD7-Q34 撷取其中内容 我想请问这题 A选项是否有明显错误??? 答案是B tks!! “One such factor is the evolution of downsizing into a powerful business myth: managers simply believe that downsizing is efficacious. Moreover, downsizing nowadays is greeted favorably by the business press; the press often refers to soaring stock prices of downsizing firms (even though research shows that stocks usually rise only briefly after downsizing and then suffer a prolonged decline). Once viewed as a sign of desperation, downsizing is now viewed as a signal that firms are serious about competing in the global marketplace; such signals are received positively by key actors— financial analysts, consultants, shareholders—who supply firms with vital organizing resources. Thus, even if downsizers do not become economically more efficient, downsizing’s mythic properties give them added prestige in the business community, enhancing their survival prospects.” Q35: Inference The passage suggests that downsizing’s mythic properties can be beneficial to a downsizing firm because these properties A. allow the firm to achieve significant operating efficiencies
B. provide the firm with access to important organizing resources C. encourage a long-term increase in the firm’s stock price D. make the firm less reliant on external figures such as financial analysts and consultants E. discourage the firm’s competitors from entering the global marketplace |
