因為有compare這字眼,徐天后說AT的閱讀文章沒有用compare來當作main idea的......

[davidslin]

Conversely, in a “build”
strategy scenario, individual leader-
ship, rather than decision-sharing,
may promote adherence to plans.
Build strategies—which typically
(60) require leaders with strong perso-
nal visions for a firm’s future, rather
than the negotiated compromise
of the team-based decision—may
be most closely adhered to when
(65) implemented in the context of a clear
strategic vision of an individual leader,
rather than through the practice of
decision-sharing.

想請教最後一段後半部的意思
前半部是在講述harvest strategies比較容易與計畫貼近
後半部一開頭Conversely,照理應該是要講說為何build strategy會與計畫不貼近,可是怎麼感覺上又是在說bs可以貼近計畫???
不太懂這部分在文章中的意義
煩請各位高手指點一下 謝謝

我說說看我自己的想法喔
要找conversely從哪裡轉的,要往前找
不好意思下面會挑得有點長

Research and theory suggest
that top management decision-sharing
(35) may have a more positive relationship
with adherence to plans among firms
with harvest strategies than among
firms with build strategies.
In a study of strategic practices in several large
(40) firms, managers in harvest strategy
scenarios were more able to adhere
to their business plans. As one of the
managers in the study explained it,
this is partly because “typically all a
(45) manager has to do [when implementing
a harvest strategy] is that which was
done last year.” Additionally, man-
agers under harvest strategies may
have fewer strategic options than do
(50) those under build strategies; it may
therefore be easier to reach agree-
ment on a particular course of action
through decision-sharing, which will
in turn tend to promote adherence
(55) to plans. Conversely, in a “build”
strategy scenario, individual leader-
ship, rather than decision-sharing,
may promote adherence to plans

他前面先說
研究上來講,decision-sharing和adherence to plan的正相關
在harvest中會比在build中更明顯
然後後面講了一堆研究啊原因啊之類的
後來接Coversely就說
在build中,
主要影響adherence to plan的不是decision-sharing
而是individual leadership

不好意思我太囉唆太照字面了
簡單講就是
在harvest中,decision-sharing-->adherence to plan
Conversely
在build中,individual leadership-->adherence to plan

[davidslin]

喔喔 了解了 感謝感謝

[shine822]

喔！因為 E 在下列句子中提到了明顯的差別：
=> Harvest 比較有可能採取 decision-sharing
反之，build 的通常是個人領導，而不是 decision-sharing

啊∼我之前真是個笨蛋，完全誤解文意。

Q24（E）how likely they are to employ decision-sharing in developing strategic plans 跟文章重點根本無關
文章是在討論「公司高階經理會不會堅守政策」的考慮因素
所以ABCD都有提到就對了
至於 individual leadership 單純是為了說明在 BUILD 策略中 個人領導風格強的比共同決策方式的反而更容易堅守政策

應該就是這樣吧∼
希望我遲來的自問自答，可以讓之前被我蠢問題嚇到的前輩們稍微放心一下！

GWD 3-23題 答案為D?
這理由在哪?別跟我說最新版答案?!
The clear reasoning defines the answer.

為何選E 我的一些理由 ....

首先,
第二段第一句話有何功用?
舉出他因來weaken第一段論理不足之處並說明這個他因到底是什麼東西受什麼影響.我覺得這點應該毫無疑問
weaken不一定要全盤否定,可以是部份否定

其次
D選項在說什麼東西
D是說第一段是對的,完全正評價!

D選項 qualify這個字大大有問題! 它的意義代表完全正評價!
中文來說" 正名" "認同" 也就是使得某物有某資格的意思
D選項是說 第二段第一行的作用是在support第一段的文意
這對嗎? 它是在weaken ! 怎麼會是support?!

有人說,第二段第一句它只是說第一段說的不夠完整
第二段第一句話有承先啟後的補充效果! 這一點也說得沒錯!
只是變成部分否定,而非全盤否定

如果這是答案,
第二段第一句話,第一個字不應該使用強轉折,這在閱讀就是代表不認同前面的說法部份否定,還是全面否定 遞進也好,就是說前面說的不夠好,我要補充;HH 拿CR粗體字的概念來說,不可能在強轉折後面出現 support 前面statement的evidence;強轉折後面的evidence就是支持後面的conclusion...

以上在在說明 D選項是很有問題的!

B選項說"全部否定"第一段的說法
但是並沒有全盤否定　
由may be affected口氣可以看出來,
第二段第一句是部份否定


E選項 解釋了下面兩種strategy mission的區別之處
L21-23就是在說這些區別點 short -term profit 跟market share
光譜區別點不一樣,戰略就不一樣
我跟你說　身高　體重　臉蛋　是三標準
下面說　好看就是這三者其中多少多少　難看就是這三者哪幾點多少多少　

-----
題外話,網上太多人不應該亂改原始答案,除非你能夠提出相當證據
很多被修正過的答案在11版都已經得到證實是錯誤的!原始答案才是正確的! 大家一定要明辨 ..唉唉 <GWD十三套verbal更新版答案>就改了三十題左右...人家是考七百的老師出來寫的答案,就被大家這樣討論討論就否定了 ...有時候一點根據都沒有! 尤其是閱讀 有時候錯誤的答案真的害死人!
例如:CD　CR大牛 Lawyer 信誓旦旦的說ＧＷＤ１０－９答案是C
結果１１版說答案是E ...

請各位大牛多打幾個字,多說一些理由,讓晚輩們可以多多學習 ...多謝多謝

1.
還沒寫出來的東西 如何先行解釋? 先解釋再列舉的結構在ETS文章中不太會這樣做喔
2. qualify的定義有太多了 千萬別武斷喔
qualify有define的意思也有 bound narrow的意思

so, do you still prefer "E" ?

關於你的說法 都有道理
我會參考你的意見"好好"看看這一題,

D答案有其道理支持,
你的主張,網上也很多說是如此.我也看過許多
但是看過太多NNN解的題,OG11版都把他們給破了,
說實在的,我現在都只是參考罷了,考場還是相信自己的臨場判斷
(難道這就是ETS真正要叫我們的學習東西嗎?相信自己 呵呵~~~)

答案不管是如何 我只是把我的Evidence跟Conclusion說出來罷了
看看就算了

anyway,感謝你的寶貴意見!謝啦!

[SL320]

關於Q24的問題
答案選項C,請問在原文中有提到嗎??謝謝!!
the number of strategic options available to their managers

[howhow]

D選項 qualify這個字大大有問題! 它的意義代表完全正評價!
中文來說" 正名" "認同" 也就是使得某物有某資格的意思

不是喔~
qualify=criticize 在這是個negative的字眼 (在徐天后的講義也有教到)

OG27篇 166題是個例子

[shine_allen]

請問26題,為什麼刪去b而選a,
我認為b比a好太多了,因為suggest a reason,
而文中也有because....
這樣不是互相呼應更好嗎?



我懂了,是不是因為manager 並沒有較偏愛harvest,
只是說manger在執行harvest時比較adhere to strategy,
並沒有說較偏愛哪一個是嗎?
