Patriotism has very little to do with productivity. All arguments to the contrary are simply the result of a leap of faith. Almost all studies that would be cited in support, would have chosen the wrong proxies as variables of measurement.
This article is amusing and a complete waste of time. It is like believing that the biblical story of creation took place in seven exact days with 24-hour periods from start to finish. Hogwash!
It's a little late for that folks, don't you think. These values Must be instilled at the school level. Educate our parents, teachers and public servants first.
The writer does not understand the fundamentals of the productivity concept. It is not some kind of religion, nor a shared value, like thriftiness.
Productivity is the product of innovative technological creativity and management technologies (plural). It is borne out of the efforts of workers where the reward system, pay structure and benefits motivate workers.
Again, a simple focus on workers is highly misplaced. What about the other contributing factors of production? What roles do information and IT in particular play in the calculus?
Absent a comprehensive view inclusive of the benchmarking of processes, we are frustratingly flogging a very dead horse with historically futile attempts at suasion and exhortations.
Thus article is nothing but an exercise in absurdity.
