39、而可口可乐公司的例子就说明了迎合顾客口味的重要性。20世纪80年代 中期公司改变了可乐的口味，但由于相当一部分顾客不喜欢这种新口味，公司又恢复了Classic Coke的配方)，由此推断，恢复配方是为了迎合顾客的口味，A与此观点一致； 其余三项均与此观点不符。第30题：参考答案：D答案解析：推断题。题目询问作者主要关注市场营销概念的_。从全文来看，作者旨在向读者介绍市场营销这一概念的基本特征，即根据顾客的需求组织生产，并通过讲述可口可乐公司改变配方这一给人留下深刻印象的例子强化了读者对其基本特征的了解。因此，A、B和C均与所陈述的内容无关，只有D正确。第31题：参考答案：A答案解析：推断题。题

43、anagers in not-for- profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision-making than might be achieved in the absence of conflictManagers of for-profit organizations saw a different pictureThey believed that conflict
