The obvious compromise is for these executives to use their titles externally but not within their corporations.

Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the compromise suggested above?

【选项】Only small corporations can preserve an atmosphere of mutual respect and high regard without having a rigid corporate hierarchy.
