Why firms adhere to or deviate from their strategic plans is poorly understood. However, theory and limited research suggest that the process through which such plans emerge may play a part. In particular, top management decision-sharing—consensus-oriented, team-based decision-making—may increase the (10) likelihood that firms will adhere to their plans, because those involved in the decision-making may be more committed to the chosen course of action, thereby increasing the likelihood that (15) organizations will subsequently adhere to their plans.
However, the relationship between top management decision-sharing and adherence to plans may be affected by a firm’s strategic mission (its fundamental approach to increasing sales revenue and market share, and generating cash flow and short-term profits). At one end of the strategic mission continuum, “build” strategies are pursued when a firm desires to increase its market share and is willing to sacrifice short-term profits to do so. At the other end, “harvest” strategies are used when a firm is willing to sacrifice marked share for short-term profitability and cash-flow maximization. Research and theory suggest that top management decision-sharing 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 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 manager has to do [when implementing a harvest strategy] is that which was done last year.” Additionally, managers under harvest strategies may have fewer strategic options than do those under build strategies; it may therefore be easier to reach agreement on a particular course of action through decision-sharing, which will in turn tend to promote adherence to plans. Conversely, in a “build” strategy scenario, individual leadership, rather than decision-sharing, may promote adherence to plans. Build strategies—which typically require leaders with strong personal visions for a firm’s future, rather than the negotiated compromise of the team-based decision—may be most closely adhered to when implemented in the context of a clear strategic vision of an individual leader, rather than through the practice of decision-sharing.
问题：The passage cites all of the following as differences between firms using build strategies and firms using harvest strategies EXCEPT
A. their willingness to sacrifice short-term profits in order to build market share
B. their willingness to sacrifice building market share in order to increase short-term profitability
C. the number of strategic options available to their managers
D. the relative importance they assign to maximizing cash-flow
E:how likely they are to employ decision-sharing in developing strategic plans
这题为什么选E
关于how likely they are to employ decision-sharing 不是在文章的最后一句话里提到的吗？Build 相对于Harvest更不倾向于decision-sharing

A 它们对于牺牲短期利润换取市场份额的意愿 B 它们对于牺牲市场份额以增加短期利润的意愿 C 它们的管理人员所面对的可行的战略选择 D 它们认为的现金流最大化的相对重要性 E 在发展战略计划时，它们有多大可能采用决策共享
本题为具体细节题目中的Except体型，需要逐个定位。AB选项文中第二段的第二句话提及了，实际上A选项和B选项是同一个意思，所以如果文章提及了A选项必然提及B选项；C选项在“Additionally, managers under harvest strategies may have fewer strategic options than do those under build strategies”中提及了，D选所并没有直接提及，但是从文中第二段的第二句话能够看出来，区别两种战略的实际上就是企业对于市场份额和现金流以及利润之间相对重要性的对比；E选项是没有提及了，文章最终论证的是否坚持决策在不同策略的公司的不同，和他们是否采用决策共享无关。
