GMAT逻辑推理模型解析之目标管理题

在GMAT逻辑的考试中，大部分题目都属于常见的条件推理（又称归纳演绎推理）方式，即通过一些条件推理得出结论。但是除了条件推理以外，逻辑里面有时也会考到其他的一些推理模型，下面就跟新航道小编一起来看一下目标管理题。

GMAT逻辑题目里经常会有涉及到一个plan/proposal能否成功达成想要的目标的情况，这类题目我们就认为是目标管理的题目。

既然提出了一个计划或是方案，一定是为了达到一些目标，所以涉及到计划方案的题目，这个计划和方案究竟能否达成目标就是最重要的了。因此目标管理的题目里面，我们首要关注的就是目标是什么，其次还要看一下为了达成目标实施的行为是什么；另外有些题目还会给一些信息告诉我们行为之所以能达成目标的途径，有的话写在目标和行为之间就可以了。目标管理形成的逻辑链如下：

行为---（途径）---目标

GMAT逻辑推理模型解析之目标管理题经典例题讲解

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.

这里先看一下问题，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：（行为）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。
