"In order to reduce costs, we should close some of our existing small assembly plants and
build a large central plant. Grandview would be an ideal location for this new plant. First, of the
locations that we have considered, Grandview has the largest adult population, so that we will
be able to staff our plant quickly and easily. Second, since the average wage earned by
workers in Grandview is less than that in the other locations, we should be able to keep
production costs low. Last, as an inducement for us to build there, Grandview's town council
has offered to allow us to operate for the first three years without paying city taxes."
In this memo the president of Viva-Tech, a high-tech medical equipment firm, recom mends
163
closing its small assembly plants and centralizing its operations at one location--in the city of
Grandview. To support this recommendation the president points out certain attractive
demographic features, as well as the town's willingness to allow Viva-Tech to operate there
without paying property taxes for the first three years. However, careful scrutiny of the
evidence reveals that it provides little credible support for the president's recommendation.
To begin with, the fact that Grandview's adult population is larger than that of any other
locale under consideration is scant evidence in itself that Grandview would be the best location
for Viva-Tech. Perhaps Grandview's adult residents are not skilled to work in the medical
equipment industry. Or perhaps a large portion of its residents are retired. Or perhaps virtually
all of its residents are already employed in jobs that they would be unwilling or unable to leave
to work at Viva-Tech. Without considering and eliminating these and other possible reasons
why Viva-Tech might have difficulty finding enough suitable employees in Grandview, the
president cannot rely on the fact that Grandview has a large adult population to bolster the
recommendation.
Furthermore, the fact that the earnings of the average Grandview worker are comparatively
low does not necessarily mean that Viva-Tech could minimize labor costs by employing
Grandview residents, as the president suggests. It is entirely possible that this low average
wage is attributable to a high percentage of jobs requiring low-level skills. This scenario would
be particularly likely if a large portion of Grandview's workers are teenagers and college
students. In fact, the low average wage in Grandview is further evidence that Grandview
residents do not possess the sorts of high-tech skills that would command a higher wage and
which Viva-Tech might require among its work force. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（101） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
