This winter, we will be studying the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA)

task. Questions used are all from the Pool of Sample Topics available in the

Official Guide to the GMAT. Alert, some of the questions will look familiar when

you actually take the test.

Now, we will be reading the question:

「Brief Passage No. 48」

The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:

“The profitability of Croesus Company, recently restored to private

ownership, is a clear indication that businesses fare better under private

ownership than under public ownership.”

Since the first time we launched this GMAT AWA program, we have received

questions about the length of a typical GMAT AWA essay. Today, the question will

be answered as the following sample essay —its body— is of the typical

length.

Introduction

略

Body

First, the author obviously omits to consider the multiple other factors

that also decide whether a business fares well but only sees profitability. The

many other factors include the business’s market share, brand awareness, and

having a committed staff. However, those factors are automatically ruled out

without proper explanation.

Second, the author assumes that Croesus Company’s profits are credited to

the private ownership. This is a questionable assumption, since the restoration

was recent and what actually contributed to the company’s profitability might

have been before the restoration. In addition, it is not unlikely that the

profitability of Croesus Company is not associated with the company’s ownership

at all. Instead, the Croesus’s profits may have been produced by capable

executives regardless of the ownership under which the company does business.

Also, likely, it is the favorable conditions of the market, rather than the

ownership, that has contributed to the company’s profitability.

In addition, the differences between businesses are not taken into the

author’s consideration. Because of the disparities, private ownership may be

helpful for Croesus Company as one company in one industry and unhelpful for

other businesses, in the same industry or in other industries.

At the end of the argument, there is another dubious assumption that

Croesus Company had been publicly owned before its recent restoration to the

private ownership. However, if the company was jointly owned by both private

owners and the public, as we call it mixed ownership, the author cannot safely

draw the conclusion that private ownership is more favorable than public

ownership.
