Extract

The single greatest challenge facing managers in the developed countries of the world is to raise the productivity of knowledge and service workers. This challenge, which will dominate the management agenda for the next several decades, will ultimately determine the competitive performance of companies. Even more important, it will determine the very fabric of society and the quality of life of every industrialized nation. … Unless this challenge is met, the developed world will face increasing social tensions, increasing polarization, increasing radicalization, possibly even class war.

As our population ages and as our abilities to provide good but expensive medical care increase, we will be facing a crisis in the growth of health care expenditure that neither physician, regulation or traditional market mechanisms were designed to confront. They were designed to provide alternative acceptable ways of eliminating wasteful expenditures. It is easy to form a social consensus against waste. The only question we have to face in fighting waste is the mixture of regulation and market mechanisms that best does the job and satisfies our other values. It is much harder to form a social consensus about what forms of useful health care should be denied to which recipients and it is therefore difficult to see how we can use either traditional approaches in dealing with the real emerging crisis in the growth of health care expenditures.
