If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as 【B1】______ to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired or【B2】______at the lowest possible cost— much 【B3】______ one buys raw materials or equipment.
The lack of importance 【B4】______ to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second 【B5】______ command. The 【B6】______ of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who 【B7】______ it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to 【B8】______ to Chief Executive Officer (CEO).【B9】______, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central—usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm’ s【B10】______.
As a【B11】______, problems【B12】______when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn【B13】______to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is【B14】______in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for【B15】______retraining【B16】______costs and creates bottlenecks that【B17】______the speed with【B18】______new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological【B19】______. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population【B20】______the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can’t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
【B19】
选项
A、innovation
B、recession
C、progression
D、adaptation
答案
A
解析
考查名词辨析。空格处所在句意为:“其结果就是技术______的速度降低了。”四个选项,innovation意为“创新”,常和“technological”搭配,technological innovation意为“技术进步”,符合文意;recession“衰退”,显然不对;progression“进步”,可以用于此处,但没有innovation贴切;adaptation“调整”,语义不明,故排除。因此,本题最佳选项为A.innovation。
