From the Paper:

"The American economy, for the past 100 years, has depended heavily on manufacturing and production. The necessities of the two World Wars spurred these sectors of the American economy. This catalyst soon became a juggernaut that inevitably drove economies throughout the rest of the world. Innovation and having to be at the forefront of the manufacturing and production sectors has put a lot of pressure on concepts and practices of the American methods of doing business. Equally important has been the need to marry production with burgeoning technologies. Every organization is driven to succeed. An organization's success or failure often depends on the clarity of its goals and objectives. The management often defines these. (Morgan, 1998) Workers within the US economy are increasingly moving from a pure manufacturing and production based economy to a knowledge-based economy. In recent times, the U.S. economy has grown tremendously, despite the bursting of the tech-bubble in 2000. The growth has been mostly due to the increase in productivity and worker performance. This indicates that managing worker potential can prove beneficial to an organization if it understand how to harness this potential."
