根据原版书,对于周期性和非周期性行业的界定很难做出明确的划分,主要有两个原因:
一是行业的周期性是一个连续的过程,而不是离散的,非此即彼的划分。选项B说反了所以错误。
二是。对于全球投资者来说,不同国家地区处在经济周期的不同阶段,这样的行业周期性划分就有局限性。选项C正确。同时派生了选项A,就是只按周期来划分公司所属行业是有局限性的。成长型企业按说属于非周期性行业,因为他们盈利不会随着经济周期的波动而波动,是一类发展速度较快的行业(譬如IT行业)。但是这不代表周期性行业中没有成长性的公司,一些企业在高速发展的早期产品需求量较高是不会受到周期影响的,但是发展成熟后就慢慢回归周期性行业的特征。所以我们只用周期和非周期来划分企业是有局限性的。
a选项看汉语翻译知道不应该选,.growth component怎么理解呢,直接翻译和答案解释不一样
