Abstract
In order to compete in today's marketplace American industry must make some vital decisions concerning: (1) more efficient and dynamic management; (2) a reemphasis on long range production goals; and (3) a commitment to a more efficient technology.Presently, new technology cannot be incorporated into the industrial sector because of an organizational ideology that is unprepared for the new manager and the modern productive worker and a financial strategy oriented towards "buying" productivity rather than "creating" productivity.
