9. Information technology 是不是可以提高每一元投资的利润。（1次） 这道题让我觉得很是头痛，The more efficient a firm’s employees are, the more profitable that firm will be---这句话是作为客观事实存在的呢，还是可以攻击的，还有这句：Improvements in a firm’s information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase the efficiency of employees who do the majority of their work on computers，偶勉强挤了一篇贴上来，希望好心的G友们给提提意见，传范文，或给点思路。。。跪谢了 原始寂静： 原题： AA138 The following appeared in a memorandum from the information technology department of a major advertising firm: “The more efficient a firm’s employees are, the more profitable that firm will be. Improvements in a firm’s information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase the efficiency of employees who do the majority of their work on computers. Therefore, if our firm invests in the most powerful and advanced information technology available, employee productivity will be maximized. This strategy ensures that every dollar spent on enhanced information technology will help to increase our firm’s profit margins.” Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc.
The author recommends that our firm invest in the most powerful and advanced information technology available to maximize employee productivity and then to increase our firm's profit margins.To strengthen the argument,the author points out that the more efficient a firm's employees are,the more profitable that firm will be and that improvements in a firm's information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase the efficiency of employees who do the majority of their work on computers.The argument is problematic for several reasons.
To begin with,there are other factors that could efficiently improve the employee productivity.For example,the firm provide useful training skills,advance its management to reduce the redundant work process,and so on.These methods may have more useful roles on improving the employee productivity than does investment in the most powerful and advanced information technology available.In addition,for employees of advertisement firm, ideas are more important to them than are the advanced computers.
Furthermore,even if the employee productivity is maximized after our firm invests in the most powerful and advanced information technology available,our firm's profit margins may not increase.For example,it is possible that the loss from the investment in advanced computers is far more than the gain from the improved employee productivity.If this is the case,our firm's profit margins decrease.
In conclusion,the argument is unsound.To strengthen the argument,the author would have to exclude other factors that can efficiently improve the employee productivity.Moreover,the author would have to provide the specific datas of the gain and loss from the investment in the advance information technology available.
The author recommends that our firm invest in the most powerful and advanced information technology available to maximize employee productivity and then to increase our firm's profit margins. To strengthen the argument, the author points out that the more efficient a firm's employees are, the more profitable that firm will be and that improvements in a firm's information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase the efficiency of employees who do the majority of their work on computers. The argument is problematic for several reasons.
To begin with, there are other factors that could efficiently improve the employee productivity .For example, the firm provides useful training skills, improves its managing level, reduces the redundant working process, and so on. These methods may be more useful for improving its employee productivity than does investment in the most powerful and advanced information technology available. In addition, for such advertisement firms, ideas are more important than the advanced computers.(我觉得这点攻击很好)
Furthermore, even if the employees’ productivity is maximized after the firm invests in the most powerful and advanced information technology available, our firm's profit margins may not increase. For example, it is possible that the loss from the investment in advanced computers is far more than the gain from the improved employee productivity. If this is the case, our firm's profit margins decrease.(我觉得这点攻击，集中在the most powerful and advanced information technology available 这点上就更打到痛楚了。)
我再加一条，文章说 improvements in a firm’s information technology hardware and software are a proven way to increase….怎么被证明的，没有给出例子，也没有给出数字。
In conclusion, the argument is unsound. To strengthen the argument, the author would have to exclude other factors that can efficiently improve the employee productivity. Moreover, the author would have to provide the specific data of the gain and loss from the investment in the advance information technology available.
