Professor Kumar Bhatt, founder and head of Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), and Rob Meakin, a personnel director at Marconi, have developed a partnership to train engineers and managers to become e-literate. The New Knowledge Partnership will include a team of 40 Marconi managers in what Professor Bhatt calls electronic engineering management or E2. A wide range of engineering and non-engineering companies has expressed interest in these exciting programs.
Professor Bhatt believes that e-commerce is changing the business environment to a huge extent. Many chief executives do not understand the power of the new technologies and, in some cases, are actually resisting change. He says, "as long as enough industry leaders realize its potential benefits, e-business will make possible a second productivity revolution in Britain. This could take the economy close to eliminating the still substantial competitiveness gap with its main rivals. Over the last five years in the US there has been a 30% improvement in manufacturing sector productivity because of information technology. In Britain we can achieve more than that and successful e-business will be worth billions to the UK economy. " Already Britain makes more use of computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) and management information technology systems than other European countries, and has a government. that actively promotes e-business.
But, observes Professor Bhatt, Britain has never used technology as a growth driver. "The thing about electronic engineering management is that you can keep your legacy systems; you just need to link those systems with an information engine. At the touch of a button it will allow project managers to see the status of a project, identify problems precisely and make virtually immediate decisions based on information that will be much more complete than in the past. "
The E2 program is the result of an alliance by the Warwick Manufacturing Group with America’s leading e-commerce study center, Carnegie Mellon. The latter will be responsible for training many of the Marconi managers in America, where the group has half its business. In Britain, Professor Bhatt has linked up with Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Parametric Technology, to set up a multi-million pound E2 design and manufacturing center at the university which will be used for training and research.
Professor Bhatt believes that e-commerce is changing business to such an extent that WMG is likely to be renamed Warwick Electronic Manufacturing Group. But, he warns "The move to globalize because of e-commerce is racing ahead. Although the net allows British industry to overtake their European peers, it also offers Asian countries to leapfrog (跃过) the West. For the first time it is not the privilege of the western world because this technology is universal. " [br] According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
选项
A、Britain can be competitive to US in the area of information technology.
B、Britain has already taken the advantages of running engineering management.
C、As with many other European countries, Britain has made use of computer-aided systems.
D、E-commerce has offered opportunities to European countries to eliminate the competitiveness gap with all the rivals.
答案
A
解析
第二段倒数第二、三句指出美国信息技术对制造业的贡献为“...has been a 30% improvement”,而同时又指出“In Britain we can achieve more than that...”,由此可知教授认为英国和美国在信息技术领域具有一定的竞争性,故A项为答案。B项表述过于绝对;文中强调在利用信息技术方面英国领先于其他欧洲国家,而C项未体现这种比较关系,认为欧洲其他国家也很好地利用了这种技术,故排除;D项与文中末段的倒数第二句不符,未考虑电子商务也给亚洲提供了可能赶超西方国家
