ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the factors favouring high productivity which are wholly within the competence of management: the factors people called internal to management. It is impossible to conceive of good management without good measurement—of values, performances, efficiencies. The scale and scope of the developments in the sphere of private enterprise and trade unionism must be recognized. The Education for Management Team urged that a full examination ‘of what is being done to teach administrative studies in universities and technical colleges should be undertaken as a matter of urgency.’ The pace of American management has, with more mechanization and more intensive machine-utilization and economy of resources, already become so hot that in the past two or three years a demand has arisen, within American management, for a little humane easing of the tension. The real governor or controller of the financial profitability of American mechanization is the intensive use of the machinery.
