(29478-!004137)In a certain wildlife park, park rangers are able to track the movements of many rhinoceroses because those animals wear radio collars. When, as often happens, a collar slips off, it
11、is put back on. Putting a collar on a rhinoceros involves immobilizing the animal by shooting it with a tranquilizer dart. Female rhinoceroses that have been frequently recollared have significantly lower fertility rates than uncollared females. Probably, therefore, some substance in the tranquilize
12、r inhibits fertility.Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?A. The dose of tranquilizer delivered by a tranquilizer dart is large enough to give the rangers putting collars on rhinoceroses a generous margin of safety.B. The fertility rate of uncollared female rhinocero
13、ses in the park has been increasing in the past few decades.C. Any stress that female rhinoceroses may suffer as a result of being immobilized and handled has little or no negative effect on their fertility.D. The male rhinoceroses in the wildlife park do not lose their collars as often as the parks
14、 female rhinoceroses do.E. The tranquilizer used in immobilizing rhinoceroses is the same as the tranquilizer used in working with other large mammals.Essay #6. 196 According to P. F. Drucker, the management philosophy known as Total Quality Management (TQM), which is designed to be adopted consiste
15、ntly throughout an organization and to improve customer service by using sampling theory to reduce the variability of a products quality, can work successfully in conjunction with two older management systems. As Drucker notes, TQMs scientific approach is consistent with the statistical sampling tec
16、hniques of the rationalist school of scientific management, and the organizational structure associated with TQM is consistent with the social and psychological emphases of the human relations school of management.However, TQM cannot simply be grafted onto these systems or onto certain other non-TQM
17、 management systems. Although, as Drucker contends, TQM shares with such systems the ultimate objective of increasing profitability, TQM requires fundamentally different strategies. While the other management systems referred to use upper management decision-making and employee specialization to max
18、imize shareholder profits over the short term, TQM envisions the interests of employees, shareholders, and customers as convergent. For example, lower prices not only benefit consumers but also enhance an organizations competitive edge and ensure its continuance, thus benefiting employees and owners
19、. TQMs emphasis on shared interests is reflected in the decentralized decision-making, integrated production activity, and lateral structure of organizations that achieve the benefits of TQM.
