Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Vernon, Inc., a small manufacturing company that has in recent years experienced a decline in its profits, plans to boost its profits by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than Vernon can itself.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that Vernon's plan will achieve its goal?
Among the parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource are some that require standards of accuracy too high for most independent suppliers to provide at lower cost than Vernon can.
Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items to certain manufacturers that formerly made those items themselves.
Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied.
Vernon plans to select the independent suppliers it will use on the basis of submitted bids.
Attending to certain tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently has taken up much of the time and effort of top managers whose time would have been better spent attending to Vernon's core business.
This suggests that the independent suppliers are in a position to offer these services at a lower cost. But during the bidding process, there is no certainty that the lowest bid will ACTUALLY be lower than the cost incurred by Vernon. It may just be the lowest of all the bids, but not necessarily lower than Vernon's own cost.
我的思路：
方案推理 目标-提高利润
方案-外包部分业务给能提供更低成本的供应商
D 通过竞标选择供应商（竞标方式确保供应商的价格更低）
E 说了 top managers 会 better spend their time, 这个就是 positive effect of outsourcing, 所以更好
E则相对只关乎利润一些。
这题并不是很好。
E的脑回路奇特 manager即使花在core business方面多 也不代表就一定能提高利润

目：to boost its profits
方：outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than Vernon can itself
(A) 讨论对象不对，我们现在讨论的是要外包出去的部分
(B) So what? 自身是外包公司不影响再外包出去一些业务。
(C) 我们的目标是：to boost its profits. 而选项中expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied这种战略决策上的问题影响因素太多，最后的profits可说不准。
(D) 无关
(E) 对的。目前那些七零八碎的业务已经影响到了公司核心业务的正常进行和发展，那么外包就变得非常有必要了。
C选项没有竞争者也不一定就能 boost its profits
E选项专注于核心业务，和boost its profits有直接的联系，如果核心业务都不能提升利润…还叫什么核心业务（doge脸）
outsourcing是外包。。
错选A，没有直接提及方案和目标的关系，精度要求高成本无法降低的项目不外包和外包能提高利润没有关系。
E，把那些不赚钱的外包出去，让经理们集中精力在赚钱的核心业务上，就能提高利润。
profit=revenue-cost
已经说明outsourcing can provide at lower cost
outsourcing同时还能减少manager原本可以花在核心业务上的时间
更关注核心业务 revenue更有可能增大
综合在一起 可以boost the profit
