OGrc42 一句话的理解

hru

    

....because product innovation means adopting the most technologically advanced and cost-effective ways of making components, backward integration may entail a serious risk for a technologically active company—for example, a producer of sophisticated consumer electronics....

OG257, 怎样来理解这句话？ 能从这句话中推出backward integration 的方式可获得reliability of source of necessary components???     Thanks a lot.

hru

You are so nice!


I had thought    that  the    No.257    should be  related to paragraph 1 and so have been trying to correlate following sentence with choice D, but it now seems that i am wrong.     However, i    am a little bit confused about below sentence,     how to understand it? could you pls translate it into chinese?  thanks again.


后项一体化或许（为一个拥有先进技术的公司）承担一个严重的风险???


backward integration may entail a serious risk for a technologically active company—for example, a producer of sophisticated consumer electronics.

i see, thanks.

这题是选B哟，pump不是选了A吧。。。

定位于第二段开头，那句话。找到了ACE三个选项，比较B、D；

第二段的第二句话，就可以推出B是不对的。因为它说：“如果是什么产品，才能使得有利润”，也就是说，不是一定会有利润。。。

D 我是没有去细推。。。

LES

这题偶对B选项还是想不通。

偶对backward integration的理解是：公司自己生产用于最终产品(end product)的零件配件(components)。即，一般情况下，公司生产的零配件并不用于直接销售。根

"Where components are commodities (ferrous metals or petroleum, for example), backward integration almost certainly boosts profits."
据文中上面这句话推出，当零配件本身是商品的话，backward integration 几乎促进了的利润。这句话是不是指这家公司用一部分components来生产 end products，剩余部分用来直接销售呢？

如果这样，不等同于B选项说的增加了零配件销售的利润呢？如果不是这样理解，那么应该怎样理解呢？

这题为什么没人回我啊？

问得太蠢了？

Backward integration removes the need for some purchasing and marketing functions, centralizes overhead, and permits manufacturers to eliminate duplicated efforts in research and development.

这边叙述backward的好处

Where components are commodities (ferrous metals or petroleum, for example), backward integration almost certainly boosts profits. Nevertheless, because product innovation means adopting the most technologically advanced and cost-effective ways of making components, backward integration may entail a serious risk for a technologically active company—for example, a producer of sophisticated consumer electronics.

这里是对比的写法, 指出backward的缺点

所以,

257. According to the passage, all of the following are benefits associated with backward integration EXCEPT:

(A) improvement in the management of overhead expenses=centralize overhead

(B) enhancement of profit margins on sales of components

(C) simplification of purchasing and marketing operations

(D) reliability of a source of necessary components 第四段（B）

(E) elimination of unnecessary research efforts

偶对backward integration的理解是：公司自己生产用于最终产品(end product)的零件配件(components)。即，一般情况下，公司生产的零配件并不用于直接销售。

这边同意

"Where components are commodities (ferrous metals or petroleum, for example), ."
根据文中上面这句话推出，当零配件本身是商品的话，backward integration 几乎促进了的利润。这句话是不是指这家公司用一部分components来生产 end products，剩余部分用来直接销售呢？

但这边原文只讲Where components are commodities-->backward integration almost certainly boosts profits, 即产业别(或应该说原料本身性质)的不同导致backward的优缺点不同

但并不表示"这家公司用一部分components来生产 end products，剩余部分用来直接销售"

先谢谢狗狗这么详细的解释！

偶现在需要重新再试一次自己理解，

所以稍后再来细读狗狗的大作。

以下是引用vincent0330在2004-8-10 6:49:00的发言：

Nevertheless, because product innovation means adopting the most technologically advanced and cost-effective ways of making components, backward integration may entail a serious risk for a technologically active company—for example, a producer of sophisticated consumer electronics.

－这里为什么不把红字部分归为backward integration的好处呢？偶觉得讲缺点应该是从Nevertheless开始的。

这里是对比的写法, 指出backward的缺点

所以, 这题还是没有搞懂！
特别是OG的解释：
The passage does not indicate how backward integration affects the profit margins on sales of components by independent suppliers.
奇怪，B选项哪里有说这个compoents是independent suppliers的？

257. According to the passage, all of the following are benefits associated with backward integration EXCEPT:

(A) improvement in the management of overhead expenses=centralize overhead

(B) enhancement of profit margins on sales of components

(C) simplification of purchasing and marketing operations

(D) reliability of a source of necessary components 第四段（B）

(E) elimination of unnecessary research efforts

－狗狗，没看懂这段你作的解释

但并不表示"这家公司用一部分components来生产 end products，剩余部分用来直接销售"
