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 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 they find outside their own industry.
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 practice that take advantage of the special circumstances of their product or markets.
正确答案是e。

另外a選項, 翻譯應該是 "跟競爭公司的比較大多著重在已經被manager採用的practice",
既然已經採用了, 所以再比較也無法產出什麼厲害的東西, 因此應該跟noncompetitor公司標竿學習。
