                    Do Two CEOs Work Better Than One?
SAP and MySpace are the latest companies to appoint two executives to work together as joint chief executives. Wipro has also been run by joint CEOs for more than a year. Is this a wise option for a company to take? Is it a development that only technology companies should consider? Or could sharing the leadership responsibility lead to confusion at the top?
THE ADVICE
The CEOs
Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe The co-CEO model has served SAP very well in our history, so it certainly made our appointment that much easier to get under way and gain traction quickly. In the current scenario, we share responsibilities, with one of us focused on innovation, developing products for market, and the other complementing that with a focus on customers.
Our relationship is built upon high trust and communication-absolute requirements for co-CEO success. We believe that the model could be leveraged by companies in any industry, not just technology companies, and could certainly help "extend" leadership in companies that are operating globally. This is a model where you not only get 100 percent of a CEO’s attention, and you are actually getting 200 percent. (The writers are joint CEOs of SAP, the technology company. )
The Academic
Andrew Campbell
There is wisdom in the phrase "two heads are better than one". Many of the great successes in business are stories of two or three people working together. No one person is likely to possess the combination of skills needed. When our brains lead us to bad judgments, the best defence is a colleague with a different brain whose agreement is needed. But if the individuals don’t get on, the result is worse than one head. Joint CEOs can be a sensible choice where two people want to make their "marriage" public. The risk is that the structure may outlive the relationship. While we have good processes for dissolving real marriages, we have no set ways of managing a divorce between joint CEOs.

Availability of the top responsibility to one must lead to confusion.
选项 A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Doesn’t say
答案C
解析 原文是对top responsibility由两个人共同承担可能会导致困惑而提出的疑问，但是没有提到top responsibility to one的情况，所以答案选C。
