The number of women directors appointed to corporate boards in the United States has increased dramatically, but the ratio of female to male directors remains low. Although pressure to recruit women directors, unlike that to employ women in the general work force, does not derive from legislation, it is nevertheless real. Although small companies were the first to have women directors, large corporations currently have a higher percentage of women on their boards. When the chairs of these large corporations began recruiting women to serve on boards, they initially sought women who were chief executive officers(CEO’s)of large corporations. However, such women CEO’ s are still rare. In addition, the ideal of six CEO’s(female or male)serving on the board of each of the largest corporations is realizable only if every CEO servas on six boards. This raises the specter of director overcommitment and the resultant dilution of contribution. Consequently, the chairs next sought women in business who had the equivalent of CEO experience. However, since it is only recently that large numbers of women have begun to rise in management, the chairs began to re- cruit women of high achievement outside the business world. Many such women are well known for their contributions in government, education, and the nonprofit sector. The fact that the women from these sectors who were appointed were often acquaintances of the boards’ chairs seems quite reasonable: chairs have always considered it important for directors to interact comfortably in the board room.
Although many successful women from outside the business world are unknown to corporate leaders, these women are particularly qualified to serve on boards because of the changing nature of corporations. Today a company’s ability to be responsive to the concerns of the community and the environment can influence that company’s growth and sur- vival. Women are uniquely positioned to be responsive to some of these concerns. Although conditions have changed, it should be remembered that most directors of both sexes are over fifty years old. Women of that generation were often encouraged to direct their attention toward efforts to improve the community. This fact is reflected in the career development of most of the outstanding- ly successful women of the generation now in their fifties, who currently serve on corporate boards: 25 percent are in education and 22 percent are in government, law, and the nonprofit sector. One organization of women directors is helping business become more responsive to the changing needs of society by raising the level of corporate awareness about social issues, such as prob- lems with the economy, government regulation, the aging population, and the environment. This organization also serves as a resource center of information on accomplished women who are potential candidates for corporate boards.
The passage suggests that corporations of the past differ from modern corporations in which of the following ways?
选项
A、Corporations had greater input on government policies affecting the business community.
B、Corporations were less responsive to the financial needs of their employees.
C、The ability of a corporation to keep up with changing markets was not a crucial factor in its success.
D、A corporation’s effectiveness in coping with community needs was less likely to affect its growth and prosperity.
E、Corporations were subject to more stringent government regulations.
答案
D
解析
文中指出,过去公司在哪点上和现在公司不同?这种对比在原文LA6—50指出:现在公司对社区和环境关系的反应能力可影响其发展和生存。取非得:D正确。过去一个公司对社会需要的满足与否不影响其成长壮大。A、B、C、E原文皆无。
