解释:
Candidate A is the best candidate for the investment committee.
●Candidate A alone has expertise in Alternative Investments, which would complement the experience of those on the committee.
●Candidate A has international experience, another diversifying characteristic that may add fresh ideas.
●Her career at three other companies should enable her to express independent opinions and reduce the likelihood of her having a social proof bias.
●Because she is younger than the other committee members, Candidate A may have different perspectives that could add value to the committee.
●Pineda’s leadership style of seeking all privately held information from each committee member means that Candidate A’s ideas would likely be considered.
The best candidate for the investment committee position is Candidate A. She has worked in Alternative Investments, has international experience, and would offer a different perspective from the current members. Her experience with three other companies and the fact that she recently joined the investment management company reduce the chance of her being subject to a social proof bias. Candidate A is younger than the committee members and may have fresh ideas. Thus, Candidate A can be expected to add independent ideas to the committee’s deliberations, and Pineda’s leadership style increases the likelihood that her views will be heard and considered.
Although Candidate B has experience in both the Equity and Fixed Income departments, he may be susceptible to a social proof bias. Although Candidate C has worked for an outside firm in accounting, her experience would be less relevant to the investment committee than that of Candidate A.
首先可以看出,4要退休。
看答案,思路就是从多元化背景的角度来选人。外来户、干过不同投资领域的、年轻人,所以选A了。B是自家人,与1、2、3都有同质化。C干的是会计,不相关,且也有一定的同质化。
但是,奇怪的是,为什么要选一个最差异化的人?题干说主席鼓励大家表达自己的意见。这跟差异化有啥关系?差异越大的人就越能表达自己的意见吗?这逻辑不通吧。
感觉B跟4最像吧,B顶替4最合适。4是经验丰富,领域是固收。不是应该也找一个固收的人来顶替吗?而且老人不怕领导,更敢表达自己的意见。
就是答案思路的内容我理解,就是它为什么用这个思路我不明白。
