Paperback. Condition: 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.
