dc.identifier.citationTable of Contents: Productivity has become a buzz word these days one that brings a certain amount of uneasiness to Americans who are trying to get used to the idea that we may not be Numero Uno in this department any more. In this issue, we explore various aspects of productivity. Beginning with the problem that people don't even agree on how to measure what we are talking about and going on from there, we hope the following articles will throw some light on an extraordinarily complicated subject. ; The Dividend Round Table on Productivity p. 4 - We invited four experts from different fields to sit around a table and discuss the causes of American productivity decline and what can be done about it. Herewith, an edited version of their two hour discussion. ; Managing the Defense Department: Why It Can't Be Done p. 10 - by Harold Brown, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Every defense secretary comes to office declaring that he will cut back, save on waste, and organize and manage better. This article explains why each of them leaves office with a certain amount of frustration. ; Laziness: Is It Real? by Larry Steinmetz, Ph.D., '64 p. 15 - What causes an employee to be unproductive at work? What can supervisors do to cope with the unsatisfactory performer? The author argues that laziness, to some extent at least, is a relative thing. ; Reversing the Decline in American Productivity p. 18 - by Elmer B. Stoats, former Comptroller General of the U,S. The author discusses some of the sources of American productivity decline, and talks about the need for the development of a national productivity plan. ; Productivity and Tax Incentives by James E. Wheeler p. 22 - The use of tax incentives to achieve higher productivity may have some undesirable side effects. The author examines some of those side effects and the reasons for them. ; Among Ourselves p. 25 ; Class Notes p. 28. <http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/50728>en_US
