Each year Universum, a Swedish consulting firm, asks American MBA students where they would most like to work. The 2007 survey showed a few surprises in its top 50 companies named: Hewlett-Packard and Cisco Systems had fell, while old reliables such as General Electronic, Coca-Cola and General Mills had jumped up the list. But the most desired industry remains consulting, despite the beating it has taken since the end of the dotcom boom, and the top firm remains McKinsey. Perhaps the reason is: in recent years McKinsey has done as much as any company to provide MBA graduates with increasingly better and more profitable positions.
The reason for this was the firm’s popularization of a concept known as "war for talent". It advocated finding the best and brightest and rewarding their innovations in proportion to "talent" instead of their performance or seniority(资格). But what is talent? And how does a company measure its employees’ talent, especially when assigning them to new projects? The "war for talent" recommends a careful assessment of the inner skills and characteristics ready for success but gives few clues as to what those inner skills might be, which might make the war standardless. For a company focused on quick growth, one shortcut could be young hires who had already been rewarded for their talent by receiving MBAs from well-respected schools. Thus as the idea of finding talented employees who could quickly learn the skills took off, so did the asking price of the star MBA graduates.
Unfortunately, now the "war for talent" seems less of a brilliant idea. The economic downturn, bringing with it less competition for the available talent, also did its part to control in indulgent(纵容的)employers.
Similarly, Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer emphasized that cultivating a talent means not just hiring the most effective performers, but being able to deal quickly and firmly with the least effective C performers. But he adds that the C refers not to the person but to the individual’s performance in a given job. Some low-performing managers were A or B performers earlier in their careers — and may attain that level of performance again.
MBA programs will remain attractive recruiting areas, but the MBA model itself has come under increasing criticism. Prof. Pfeffer, in a 2007 article found little evidence that an MBA had much effect on future salary or career. Future MBA students might need to provide more evidence of their talent to impress potential employers.
What is said about the MBA degree in the last paragraph?
选项
A、It has lost all its original function.
B、It will still mean high income in future.
C、It might not be convincing in future.
D、Its holders lack talent evidence now.
答案
C
解析
末段第2句提到,Pfeffer教授在2007年的文章中说几乎没有找到MBA学位对未来的薪水或职业道路有很大影响的证明。C)“它在未来可能不具说服力”与原文意思相符,故为答案。文章意欲说明MBA学位在职业发展道路上的作用可能不再像过去那样巨大,并非认为MBA学位完全无用,A)的内容过于极端,而B)与该意思相反,故排除。文中提到未来拥有MBA学位的学生需要提供更多证明他们才能的证据,但这并不代表MBA学位的拥有者现在缺少证明他们才能的证据,故排除D)。
