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.

答案是E，我不明白为什么A不对？A所说的不太理解。

A new ordinance passed by the Gorento Council a year ago banned the sale of all nonrecyclable plastic packaging for food being sold in Gorenton. A substantial percentage of Gorenton's plastic waste, however, is still composed of nonrecyclable plastic food packaging.
Which of the following, if true, best contributes to reconciling the apparent discrepancy above?

A.Fewer food products are packaged in nonrecyclable plastics today than were so packaged a year ago.

B.The new ordinance affects only plastic food packaging and not other products packaged in plastic, many of which are sold in Gorenton.

C.Grocery and other stores in nearby suburban areas patronized by many Gorenton residents are unaffected by the new ordinance.

D.Many food products formerly packaged in nonrecyclable plastics are now specially packaged in recyclable plastic before being shipped so that they can be sold in Gorenton.

E.The total amount of both Gorenton's trash and its plastic waste grew considerably over the past year.

答案是C，但我不明白B错在什么地方？

第100题问的是在竞争对手之间进行杠杆学习比较的理由，其他四个都是与非竞争对手比较的理由。
A的意思是竞争者之间的比较更可能关注于那些做出这些比较的经理人已经采用的方法，making the comparisons是修饰manager的定语。 既然在竞争者之间做比较所能发现的是已经在采用了的，那么这种比较方法没有价值可言，因此这个是否定竞争者之间的比较、支持非竞争者之间的比较的理由，他不是你应该选的“竞争者之间比较”的理由。
E的意思是很多企业的成功是因为他们采用了依据自身产品和市场的特殊情况而得出的管理方法，这种特殊性值得去学习，因此是支持竞争者之间比较的理由。

第二题我没做过，回答不了。
