Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Vernon, Inc., a small manufacturing company that has in recent years experienced a decline in its profits, plans to boost its profits by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than Vernon can itself.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that Vernon's plan will achieve its goal?
(A)Among the parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource are some that require standards of accuracy too high for most independent suppliers to provide at lower cost than Vernon can.
(B)Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items to certain manufacturers that formerly made those items themselves.
(C)Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied.
(D)Vernon plans to select the independent suppliers it will use on the basis of submitted bids.
(E)Attending to certain tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently has taken up much of the time and effort of top managers whose time would have been better spent attending to Vernon's core business.
解题要点
方案---（途径）---目标
题目解析
先看一下问题，要support Vernon’s plan，提到了plan就是个目标管理的题目了，所以这是一道目标管理下的增强题。
分析原文：外包是指从独立的供应商那里获得公司之前自己提供的产品或服务。V公司是一家小型制造公司，近年利润下降，计划：通过外包供应商能提供更廉价的部分增长利润。
逻辑链：（方案）outsourcing---（目标）boost profit
A. 不打算外包的部分是外部供应商无法提供更廉价产品的部分（不外包的部分与计划无关，排除）
B. V本身也是供应商（与计划能否成功无关，排除）
C. 很少有供应商最初做外包后来成为主流公司（与计划无关，排除）
D. V计划通过竞价决定用哪个供应商（计划实施后的细节，不影响计划是否成功，排除）
E. 在相对低效率的任务上占用了太多时间，经理人应该把时间更好用于关注核心业务（而要外包出去的就是这样的业务，所以外包可以降低相对成本，提高利润，正确）
在目标管理题目里，一定要注意正确选项讲的一定是这个计划本身能否达成这个目标，讨论其他的计划和其他的目标都是跳出范畴的。
方法总结
目标管理逻辑链分析方法小结：
1.方案-（途径）-目标
2.选项必须讨论本方案能否到达本目标
