Excerpt from The Role of Management in Labor Productivity
I do not agree with this diagnosis. I believe that there are vast opportunities for improving labor productivity in the American economy but that these opportunities lie primarily in the inter - firm locus rather than the intra-firm area which until now has been the major Sphere for our productivity emphasis. I shall therefore direct my remarks today not to the conventional techniques of simplifying and automating jobs within.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a clarion call for a shift in productivity management beyond the confines of individual companies. The author argues that substantial productivity gains lie in addressing inefficiencies in inter-firm relationships within industries. By adopting a systems approach that coordinates actions among companies, the waste and inefficiencies prevalent in fragmented systems can be eliminated. The book highlights examples, such as the lack of pallet size standardization and product proliferation, to illustrate how such inefficiencies arise and hinder productivity growth. The author emphasizes the need for collaboration and standardization to overcome these challenges. Moreover, they suggest that government involvement and oversight are necessary to foster industry-wide agreements while ensuring adherence to regulations. This book opens our eyes to the untapped potential for productivity improvement through inter-firm collaboration, urging businesses, policymakers, and industry leaders to re-evaluate their approach to productivity management.
