9、couldnotbecarriedoutentirelyin-house.Theplexitiesandcostsofajoint-ventureinitiativeshouldnotbeunderestimated. 这篇文章讲的是外购(outsourcing),分别有四位专家就这个问题给出了自己的看法。A段的专家强调建立合同的重要性，B段专家认为要派专人负责，C段专家讲外派人员和本公司之间要有一个互动，D段专家讲如果与外包商(outsourcer)组成联合企业的话可能带来的一系列问题。如果对文章有个大概、基本的了解，很多题目不用细看就可以得出结论。 第一题的答案稍微有些隐晦，在B段的最后一
10、句。“Becausethereisanewoperationbeingcarriedoutinadifferentwayoutsideofthehomebusiness,thiscreatesatrainingelement.”因为新的操作是在本公司以外的地方以一种新的方式被执行，所以产生了培训成分。这里的training对应第一题的“teachskillstoemployees”。第二题的答案在D段中间:paniesshouldbecarefulnottolosesightoftheoriginalrationaleforoutsourcing.这里的rationale是基本原理、根本原因的
11、意思。第三题的答案在A段，非常明显的“establishcontracts”。第四段的答案是C段的最后一句话，outsourcingpersonnelhavetotalktothehomepanysexecutivesanduserstounderstandtheirexperiences.这里的talkto对应address，向.谈话。第四题的意思是“说明在远址工作的外购人员的事情”，也就是C段最后一句说的外购人员向公司汇报他们的经历。第五段的答案在B段，相当明显：Itiscriticaltohaveanindividualinchargetocheckthattheexternalandi
12、nternalbusinessoperationsworktogether。需要派专人负责integration。第六题说“外派人员要熟悉自身工作的不同细节”，对应C段的“createateamwherethereisaclearunderstandingofobjectivesandincentives.”打造一个对目标和动机都有清晰理解的团队。第七题稍微绕一点。题目里的“analternativetooutsourcing”指的是D段里的“createajoint-venturepanywiththeoutsourcer”，建立一个联合企业。D段里的专家一直在强调联合企业的麻烦和复杂性(jointventuresbringpotentialtroubles)，所以是正确答案。
