If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility.
The lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy(社团中的等级制度). In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of the head of human resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer.
While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather man on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.
As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States.
6. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?
[A]They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.
[B]They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own business.
[C]They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.
[D]They only hired skilled workers because of keen competition.
7. What is the position of the head of human resource management in an American firm?
[A]He is one of the most important executives in the run.
[B]His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.
[C]He is directly under the chief financial executive.
[D]He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.
8. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to _____.
[A]workers who can operate new equipment
[B]professional and managerial staff
[C]workers who lack basic ground skills
[D]top executives
9. What’s the main idea of the passage?
[A]American firms ale different from Japanese and German firms in human
resource management.
[B]Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.
[C]The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a
firm’s hierarchy.
[D]The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their
competitive capacity.
10. According to the passage，the decisive factor in maintaining a firm’s competitive advantage is______.
[A]the introduction of new technologies
[B]the improvement of workers’ basic skills
[C]the rational composition of professional and managerial employees
[D]the attachment of importance to the bottom haft of the employees
