100. One way to judge the performance of a company is to compare it with other companies. This technique,commonly called “benchmarking,” permits the manager of a company to discover better industrial  practices and can provide a justification for the adoption of good practices. any of the following, if true, is a valid reason for benchmarking the performance of a company against

companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors EXCEPT:

(A) Comparisons with competitors are most likely to focus on practices that the manager making the comparisons already employs.

(B) Getting “inside” information about the unique practices of competitors is particularly difficult
C) Since companies that compete with each other are likely to have comparable levels of efficiency, only benchmarking against noncompetitors is likely to reveal practices that would aid in beating competitors.

(D) Managers are generally more receptive to newideas that they find outside their own industry.

(E) Much of the success of good companies is due to their adoption of practices that takeadvantage of the special circumstances of their products or markets.

答案是E，说实话我连题目问的是什么都没看懂，能不能高人指点一下。

第一部分是benchmarking的定义。问题是为什么应该与无竞争关系的公司做比较，而非与有

直接竞争关系的公司比。

理解了题目后应该做起来就会比较简单了，E是讲跟其他行业的公司比没有什么意义，因为公司

的成功与其所在的特定环境密切相关。所以是个削弱项。

把问题重新翻译一下：

“下面的哪一项不是一个有效的理由让一家公司来跟并非竞争对手的公司进行performance 比较”

问题里有个except, 所以你讲的几乎是对的，就是加个except。

那么理由很简单：
题目既然是：一下哪个选项不是支持benchmarking的理由，这个理由是基于非竞争情况的。那么，无论是支持还是反驳，必须要相关。既然要相关就要讨论非竞争情况，从A-D都是讨论竞争对手。所以统统是无关选项。只剩下E，我们也就不要纠结是支持还是反对了。

题目中的except就是让你找出不能对观点起support的项，e是削弱项自然也就是非support项了。
