Excerpt from The Twelve Principles of Efficiency
Harrington Emerson's earlier book "Efficiency as a Basis for Operation and Wages" appeared originally in 1908, and a third edition, revised and enlarged, is being reissued almost in parallel with this second and later work on "The Twelve Principles of Efficiency." The relations between the first and second presentations of the subject thus become clear. The former sets forth a new view of the whole industrial problem and of the relations and proportions of the factors entering into it. It is the declaration of a philosophy. This latter work, stronger even than its predecessor, and more specific in statement, reduces the doctrine of efficiency to a code upon which to base rules of practice.
In the volume now published, the author defines twelve principles by which efficiency is determined. Five of these concern relations between men - or, in the industrial problem, specifically between employer and employee. Seven of them concern methods or institutions and systems established in the manufacturing plant or in the operating and distributing company.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that efficiency is not a matter of machines, materials, or methods, but rather of fundamental principles and organizational structures. The author delves into the history of great empires and military campaigns, comparing the achievements of Bismarck and von Moltke in building Germany to the rise of Japan as a world power. He argues that these remarkable feats of expansion and development were not based on superior resources or strength, but on the application of specific principles of efficiency, which he calls "the twelve principles." The author contends that these principles are universal, applying equally to the organization of armies, factories, and any other human endeavor. He draws parallels between the structures of nature, which he describes as "constructively defensive," and the more successful organizational structures of humans, which he claims were initially overlooked in favor of the "destructively offensive" model. By contrasting these two approaches, he lays out a framework for understanding how to achieve efficiency, which he believes is essential for the progress of any nation. This book provides a historical and philosophical perspective on the pursuit of efficiency, challenging readers to reconsider the fundamental principles of organization and apply them to their own endeavors.
