[答案] A
[解题思路]
本题要求选择在文章中没有提到的说法,因此应该与原文一一对应采用排除法来排除。首先,文章第三段第二句话指出:“New ways of organizing the workplace all that re engineering and downsizing - are only one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in education and training”(新的工作场所组织方式——包括所有那些重组和缩小规模的做法——只是促进某一个经济实体的综合生产力水平的一项措施,而这种生产力的提高还受到许多其他因素的驱动,如对机械设备的联合投资,采用新技术,以及在教育和培训上的投资),因此可见B选项与该句意思吻合,是对该句的一个简要概括,因此B选项表述正确。C和D选项分别对应于文章最后一段的最后两句话,“His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long term profitability”(他的同事迈克•比尔说,太多的公司用简单机械的方式进行重组,在没有充分考虑到长期赢利能力的情况下降低了成本)和“He dismisses a lot of the work of re engineering consultants as mere rubbish - “the worst sort of ambulance cashing.””(BBDO的艾尔•罗森夏恩更加直率,他把许多重组咨询专家所做的工作视为垃圾——“典型的劳而无获”),因此这两个选项的表述都是正确的。而A选项在文中则没有明确的对应信息,因此答案为A。
