The Acme Corporation has found that improvements in its information technology infrastructure allow its employees to make more decisions that are both sound and well-informed than was previously feasible. Consequently, the corporation plans to improve employee productivity by introducing new managerial techniques that delegate much of the decision-making to lower levels of the organizational hierarchy. Managers will simply set clear standards and guidelines and then allow employee teams to undertake tasks without centralized control.
Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support a prediction that the Acme Corporation's plan will achieve its goal?
The corporation will be able to cut its managerial staff only if the managers' sole function is to set clear standards and guidelines for employees.
After Acme's information technology infrastructure was improved, very few of Acme's managers continued to believe that only managers should make most decisions.
Most of the tasks currently performed by the corporation's employees require few if any significant decisions to be made.
When employees can make decisions themselves, rather than submitting the same matters for decision to managers, there is more time available for directly productive activities.
Some other companies that have better employee productivity than does the Acme Corporation also plan to use the new managerial techniques.
its goal是improve employee activity
目标:plans to improve employee productivity
即便只看这个,D也是最相关的
delegete to 委托
Goal: improve employee productivity; Plan:引入新系统,将需要做决定的tasks留给lower-level employees。问support
choice a, 公司可以开除这些管理人员,如果他们的职责仅仅剩下设置任务。irrelevant to the productivity
choice b, 在信息系统改善以后,很少有经理认为继续相信只有经理应该去做决定。 irrelevant to the productivity
choice c, 目前大部分员工承担的任务要求他们做决定。 irrelevant to the productivity ,即便现在员工的任务很少要求做决定,使用新系统以后会增加做决定的机会。
choice d, 当员工可以自行做决定的时候,将会有更多的时间用于productive activities. correct
the corporation plans to improve employee productivity
B是满足方案成行的条件,不是满足目标的条件
productive activity
[经] 生产活动
目标:improve employee productivity
方案:delegate much of the decision-making to lower levels of the organizational hierarchy
问题:满足目标的条件
注意:B选项是在解释一个目前已经执行了的决策所产生的后果的原因,是在陈述一个事实,并没有弥补题目的gap
但是题目说的是 之后的决策 能否达到某一个目的 所以B是不ok的
而且在①期改进完成后如果就已经是few管理人员觉得决策可以被低一级的人完成 了,那么②期改进也无法带来巨大的进步啊
而且 这道题的gap是:②期改进(决策权下放)==》提高productivity,那答案肯定就要说下放了决策权之后是如何提高生产力的
方案推理。
方案:放权给员工,目的:提高员工生产力
D属于CQ1,加强了方案可行性
加强new managerial techniques——improve employee productivity
goal is: Consequently, the corporation plans to improve employee productivity by introducing new managerial techniques
对啦,核心目的是要提高productivity
提问!老师,为什么B不可以呢?B取非之后不是可以削弱方案的可行性吗?取非之后是,许多manager仍然认为只有管理层才能做决定,那就使得方案没法儿实行,那员工的productivity也不会提高……
没提到employee什么事儿
