Dickeson--Use the Right Efficiency Formula

How efficiently the printer uses resources to produce added-value measures "internal productivity."

Productivity can be indexed and measured by a combination of market effectiveness and internal efficiency. If a business is producing buggy whips with optimal resource use, it's "efficient." But since the value perceived by the market is essentially nil for buggy whips today, the business has negative effectiveness. It cancels out any efficiency and results in zero productivity for the effort.
