Target: increased productivity exploratory eastern European model

Abstract

The author proposes a novel approach to productivity model building. The concept is based on integrating component parts of existing eastern (Japanese) and western (American) models for possible use in the Soviet Union and other eastern European countries. It attempts to bridge cultural and traditional differences so as to present a model that is adaptable to varying economic conditions and external environments. The proposed model is basically a dichotomy utilizing a Nenko system type foundation and an open, mobile, managerial class superstructure.<>
