Transnational cooperation among corporations is experiencing a model renaissance among United States firms,
even though projects undertaken by two or more corporations under a collaborative agreement are less
profitable than projects undertaken by a singly corporation . The advantage of transnational cooperation is that
such joint international projects may allow United States firms to win foreign contracts that they would not
otherwise be able to win.
98. Which of the following statements by a United States corporate officer best fits the situation of United States
firms as described in the passage above?

risk of a loss."
(B) "We would rather make a share of a relatively modest profit than end up making none of a potentially much
bigger profit."
(C) "We would rather cooperate and build good will than poison the business climate by all-out competition."
(D) "We would rather have foreign corporations join us in American projects than join them in projects in their
home countries."
(E) "We would rather win a contract with a truly competitive bid of our own than get involved in less profitable
collaborative agreements."
Which of the following is information provided by the passage above?
(A) Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle.
(B) Transnational cooperation results in a pooling of resources leading to high-quality performance.
(C) Transnational cooperation has in the past been both more common and less common than it is now among

undertaking.
