This book was released on 1981 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. productivity growth has declined dramatically over the past 12 years. In the past 3 years, it has virtually ceased. Recognizing the importance of productivity, the President established the National Productivity Council and assigned private sector productivity responsibilities to the Departments of Labor and Commerce. The Council was to guide and coordinate these and other Federal efforts to improve productivity and to serve as the Government's primary contact with the private sector on productivity issues. GAO examined the effectiveness of the Council regarding private sector productivity. GAO found that, in over 2 years of existence, the National Productivity Council has been relatively inactive and has largely ignored the functions assigned to it. It has seldom met, has not provided guidance to Federal productivity programs, and has not become recognized as the Government's productivity focal point. The Department of Labor did not act on its leadership responsibilities. The Department of Commerce undertook significant productivity initiatives despite the Council's lack of involvement. The national productivity effort has been ineffective because it lacked support from the executive branch. As a result: (1) Federal programs directly related to productivity improvement are funded and operated without any central review, direction, coordination, or evaluation; (2) there is no recognized spokesperson for productivity concerns; and (3) there is no open channel for airing private sector problems and concerns about productivity related policies. An organization should be established to: (1) provide central review and coordination of Federal programs directed at productivity improvement; (2) provide a productivity perspective in economic and budgetary decisionmaking; (3) provide an open and nonthreatening channel for private sector problems and concerns about productivity-related policies; and (4) develop a national productivity plan outlining what the Federal Government is doing and should be doing to increase productivity.

This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As U.S. industry faces worldwide challenges, policymakers are asking questions about the role of the federal government-not only in promoting basic research but also in ushering new innovations to the marketplace. This book offers an expert consensus on how government and industry together can respond to the new realities of a global marketplace. The volume offers firm conclusions about policy and organizational changes with the greatest potential to improve our technological competitiveness-and presents three alternative approaches for a new federal role. The volume examines: How federal involvement in technology development affects the nation's economic well-being. What we can learn from past federal efforts to stimulate civilian technology development-in the United States and among our major industrial competitors. How trends in productivity, R&D, and other key areas have affected U.S. performance, and how we compare to the world's rising industrial economies. Offering guidance on one of the 1990s most important issues, this volume will be indispensible to federal policymakers, executives in industry and technology, and researchers.
