House of Paine

delong shot strikes out

 my favorite
 fat bobo
 butt brain
 brian delong 
doesn't see
the real incentives 
of many
corporate
    management elites ......


 the brian:

" Market competition 
gives large-company managers 
powerful reasons 
to minimize inefficiency"



-------- inefficiency ???
as in what ???

more valueadded
        for less production  wages ???

  okay maybe at the foreman level -------


-- by the way
  this is brian amidst a steep
 defense of public large orgs

like clinton's FEMA -------------


""There is no magic "market dust"
 that the market sprinkles
 on organizations 
to make them efficient"


------
HE SEEMS TO FORGET 
 non profits face markets too
 
how   dopey

in fact non profits 
  often face lethal 
 market  constraints 
  like a lecture series
 with a hall cost 
make or brake 
 after each nites talk  -------------


" Managers make organizations efficient"

--- 
nonsense
much  well rated piece work 
requires no management 
of the work process per se
what so ever
only a quality inspection
post facto 

like peer reviewed 
       articles for an academic  journal    --------



----he lists only  two
incentives 
provided by the company itself
he prolly knows of more 
but 
the post was  
 dashed off no doubt --------

"the fear of losing your job "

----  my my  and isn't 
     that something  

the sack 

by who ?

the manager of the manager ??

who's incentive
  is  what ?

fear 
of 
the sack??


by who 

  blah blah

up and up we go  

till

that final "your fired' level

  by ...

the board 


 the board's incentive

 sacked by 

what ?? ?

a raider ??? 

    a big stockholder ???

the lines of transmission have 
grown a bit tenous here

much wiggle room
eh ???


   some where along here
the flow may reverse 

the game change

from top down production efficiency

to bottom up  scheinvert efficiency 

and the contradictions here

produce 

       enrons 
      robo brain wash
 
intentional 
 chapter 11's 
             
butchered  cash cows 

etc etc etc  

 a rogues gallery of winning  schein vert games
unrelated to product efficiency ----------
   
 ------- but on the up side there's 
according to brian -----------

 "the desire for more commodious living"

------------  at what level
as one rises 
up the ladder 
does the way 
 to a   better address 
 on  pleasure  st 
 stop passing  
thru   innovations
on the plant floor ??? ------

------- but then here comes 
the real thus sprak  sapa-thustra ---------

 "But there are other possible
 motivators as well" 

"the pleasant feeling 
of a job well done
 the pleasant feeling
 of having helped someone
the shame of public humiliation
 when you have messed up
loyalty to the person 
who put you in the job"
 
     and so forth

     ----- 

ah
 the sociability of the naked ape

its what makes us civil beings
 
   just ask....plato 

great brian 

really great 

stay in the academy you 
shameless
        ivy goon ------
