| Citation: | Table 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.
