ABSTRACT
The findings considered in Chapter 8 raise a question as to whether the decline in motivation to manage may have put the United States at a relative economic disadvantage now that, more than 25 years after the decline began, substantial numbers of lower motivation to manage individuals have come of managerial age. For this to happen the decline would have had to have been either a distinctly U.S. phenomenon or it would have had to have been more pronounced in this country.
