GMAT Argument 63重新选题
写作题目
收起The following appeared as part of a recommendation by one of the directors of the Beta Company:
“The Alpha Company has just reduced its workforce by laying off 15 percent of its employees in all divisions and at all levels, and it is encouraging early retirement for other employees. As you know, the Beta Company manufactures some products similar to Alpha’s, but our profits have fallen over the last few years. To improve Beta’s competitive position, we should try to hire a significant number of Alpha’s former workers, since these experienced workers can provide valuable information about Alpha’s successful methods, will require little training, and will be particularly motivated to compete against Alpha.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

α公司通过在所有部门和所有层次裁减了15%的员工减少了工作人员,它还鼓励其他员工提前退休。如你所知,β公司生产部分和α公司类似的产品,但我们的利润在过去几年内下降了。为了提高β的竞争力,我们应该试着雇用大量的α的前雇员,因为这些有经验的工人将提供关于α成功方法的有用信息,而且基本不需要培训,并将更有动力与α竞争。
