And, this is important in terms of productivity and of increasing harmony.<br /><br />On the other hand, although I do believe (contrary to the Starbucks CEO) that an economy skewed so it's more dependent upon the spending of the top 1% is sustainable, I don't think it's optimal. For example, if you take a step back, what happens to the money supply when a company or person makes a net profit? Well, they have more money. There is more money in its bank account. But, where did the money come from? Money is a physical object that actually exists. So, if money was received, it must have been given by someone else. In particular, money was funneled from one group to another. So, can everyone make a net profit in our society? How can it? There would be the need for more money, no? The answer is qualified yes. It can occur for example when money turnover is high so that the apparent money supply increases. But, usually, the money supply has to increase in order to accommodate the bigger economy; an increase in the turnover of money won't suffice. So, the Fed pumps money into the economy. Unfortunately, money goes to the biggest and solid companies first, not necessarily the best allocation.<br /><br />In low-income areas, money is actually being removed from the local economy and moved to higher-income areas. This is due to the difference in the lower and higher incomes and required expenditures. This money advantage is even increased due to the fact that the money supply influx from the Fed disproportionately goes to extremely wealthy investors. The result is that in low-income areas, people literally don't have money in order to exchange goods/services. They want to work but they can't. During the Great Recession, bartering was even commonly relied on because of this absence of money.<br /><br />So, to increase the overall health of the economy, money needs to be directly pumped into lower-income areas. Many towns in remote areas like the Midwest have a net import of goods/services. This means there is going to be a net export of money, leading to a lack of money to run the wheels of the local economy. This is one of the many deficiencies in current economic theory. I have yet to read any economist mention this factor.<br /><br />To illustrate the seriousness of this effect, consider the monarchies of old. Peasants (aka low waged employees) were relied on as a major source of money and this group of people scrounged to pay their taxes. This created a group of people that couldn't achieve its maximum potential due to poor health, stress, lack of education, etc. It concurrently created a group of upper class who also didn't achieve its maximum potential as they simply relied on the work of the peasants. The growth rate during this time was abysmal.BroadThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211745984583179285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146523468724938677.post-59268367541141427962019-12-02T16:57:24.659+00:002019-12-02T16:57:24.659+00:00Nice thought!

Which other sectors have improved productivity by 50% in ten years? Who will take up the challenge to match or surpass it in the next ten years?<br /><br />Imagine that for a second, if a job took an 1 hour to complete 100units, you now get 150, or it takes 40 mins to do the same 100 units, a 33% improvement in input cost.<br /><br />Imagine if other sectors could match that? Services, Professional services, Government, Local councils etc<br /><br />As for support for Manufacturing it was good to see the Government announce the £50M continuation of the Manufacturing Advisory Service, MAS, prior to Christmas and asking for input to the review of advanced manufacturing. Have a look at the BIS website for details. <br /><br />Now we need to get manufacturers to look beyond the shop floor into marketing, sales, finance, development, purchasing etc to see how continuous improvement can really be organisation wide.<br /><br />Regards<br />Mark @theleanmanagerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398418579059165425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146523468724938677.post-48479667859722172762011-01-01T07:24:15.850+00:002011-01-01T07:24:15.850+00:00Dear John Heap,

The software tool is targeted at people who are often remote, SMB or SOHO workers and are time-starved and overworked—the majority of readers. <br />The software, called gDoc Fusion 2.5 provides web and knowledge workers who want to quickly and easily improve their productivity authoring documents with the following benefits: <br />* Merge and view in one viewing frame over 200 multiple file formats (including Excel, Word and Powerpoint) with one simple and quick, drag and drop function<br />* Repurpose documents for sharing, posting on the web or printing all in one program<br />* Edit, comment and review documents quickly and easily<br />* Save finished documents in multiple formats<br /><br />To demonstrate further that the time is right for this type of tool: Knowledge workers spend roughly 33% of their time authoring documents - writing, creating illustrations and putting together presentations. A time cost to their organization of $19,953 per worker per year assuming the average knowledge worker makes $60,000 a year, according to IDC 53 percent of 1000 US workers questioned blamed 100 minutes a week of lost productivity on navigating and trying to use difficult software programs If you’d like we can send you a free preview copy for review.<br />Best<br />DanielDaniel Twigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606544784911227629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146523468724938677.post-61808557638285788272009-10-17T13:54:10.516+01:002009-10-17T13:54:10.516+01:00im a management services student at uj, im confuss...im a management services student at uj, im confussed of what kind of jobs i will do when i finish thi course and how much can i esstimate for my first income, what skills i must acquire to b the top in this work. please help its argently.

16 April 2009, in his NYT blog, Paul Krugman...John,<br />16 April 2009, in his NYT blog, Paul Krugman pointed out that the common wisdom of productivity gaps between US and other economies (in this case: Europe, but you can extend the argument to the US-Canada comparison as well) might partly be 'explained' by poor measurement of financial business' output which is - because of its relative weight - much more important for the US than most other economies' productivity. Whatever one thinks about this position, it reminds us that measurement issues should stay (or perhaps better: be put again) on the productivity research agenda. <br /><br />And here is the Krugman statement:<br />"Reconsidering a miracle [title].<br />In preparation for some recent teaching, I went back to something that was a hot topic not long ago, and will be again if and when the crisis ends: the apparent lag of European productivity since 1995. One recent, seemingly authoritative study is van Ark et al [The Productivity Gap between Europe and the United States: Trends and Causes, 2008]; and I noticed something that gave me pause.<br />In their paper, van Ark etc. identify the service sector as the main source of America’s pullaway - which is the standard argument. Within services, roughly half they attribute to distribution - roughly speaking, the Wal-Mart effect. OK.<br />But the other half is a surge in US productivity in financial and business services, not matched in Europe. And all I can say is, whoa!<br />First of all, how do we even measure output of financial services? If I read this BEA paper [Brent R. Moulton: Measurement of Banking Services in the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts: Recent Changes and Outstanding Issues, May 2000]correctly, we more or less use “checks cashed” - or, more broadly, the number of transactions undertaken. This may be the best we can do, but it’s a pretty weak measure of actual work done by the financial system. And given recent events, are we even sure that the expansion of the financial system was doing anything productive at all?<br />In short, how much of the apparent US productivity miracle, a miracle not shared by Europe, was a statistical illusion created by our bloated finance industry? Dean Baker has argued for some time that, properly measured, the productivity gap between America and Europe never happened. I’m becoming more sympathetic to his point of view."<br /><br />Wolfgang Schröter<br />RKW German Productivity and Innovation Centre,<br />President EANPCwolfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817676857001184322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146523468724938677.post-59659789603459906282008-08-30T15:25:00.000+01:002008-08-30T15:25:00.000+01:00Investment in new equipment does not necessarily e...Investment in new equipment does not necessarily equate to “technological progress” in fact the opposite is often the case. This is particularly true when new equipment fails to meet the demands of production. When such a discrepancy exists, the purchaser is left with a problem that is only overcome through the supplier’s knowledge base in such equipment. Continuing with this line of thought, organizational change becomes slower since the purchaser relies on the supplier to provide a remedy which is often inconsistent with the demands of production which breeds poor productivity.<BR/><BR/>Now, let us examine how productivity is measured by the governments of Canada and the US. Labor productivity is measured directly and equates to “Capital Deepening”, “Labor Composition” and “Multi-Factor Productivity Growth”. Capital deepening is a measure of investment in capital and structures, labor composition is a measure of “skill”. Both of which are measured directly. However, multi-factor productivity growth; a measure of “technological progress” or “innovation” is a residual. When comparing Canada and the US, “capital deepening” and “labor composition” is essentially the same. However, since labor productivity is higher in the US, the difference is explained by “multi-factor productivity growth”. Therefore, US companies have not invested in more equipment as compared to Canada; rather they have solved their production problems through research that resulted in technological advancements and innovative solutions applied to existing equipment to improve productivity. This is “technological progress”; progress that is achieved through an increase in an organizations knowledge base.<BR/><BR/>www.tkmg.orgAndrew Milivojevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767407986905474907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146523468724938677.post-52782321917745969422008-06-08T07:17:00.000+01:002008-06-08T07:17:00.000+01:00The scheme can be effective but only if implemente...The scheme can be effective but only if implemented properly, as you said giving away wages without getting work done has sustainability issues and is also a waste of taxpayer’s money.
