TKBI IPDN - Paket 03 SELEKSI-LANJUTAN-SEKDIN TKBI - Reading Comprehension

109. Read the following passage, then answer the question below.

Centralizing procurement functions across regional government units is typically justified on the grounds of economies of scale: by consolidating purchasing power, governments can negotiate better prices and reduce redundant administrative overhead. This logic holds reasonably well for standardized, high-volume goods such as office supplies or basic construction materials. It becomes considerably weaker, however, when applied uniformly to goods and services with highly localized requirements, such as agricultural equipment suited to specific terrain or medical supplies calibrated to region-specific disease patterns. In such cases, centralized procurement units, often based far from the communities they serve, may lack the contextual knowledge needed to specify appropriate requirements, leading to purchases that are technically cost-efficient on paper but poorly matched to actual local needs, a mismatch that can ultimately prove more costly than the inefficiencies centralization was meant to eliminate.

What does the passage suggest about the relationship between cost-efficiency and effectiveness?

Jawaban: D

Pembahasan: Jawaban memerlukan pemahaman inferensial dari keseluruhan isi passage "Rethinking the Logic of Centralized Procurement", bukan kutipan literal tunggal.
