the most efficient method of American help in proportion to the yield it has raised
in the field of increasing productivity. In this way, indeed, it probably exceeds

"The success of the policy is shown in data submitted to the OEEC indicating
high and steady annual increases in industrial productivity from 1952 through 1956,
paralleled by a steadily rising standard of living. Annual productivity increases
in industry are reported as follows: 1952 - 2%; 1953 - 7%; 1954 - 6%; 1956 - 5%";
1957 3%.

"The program has been effective operationally, and results after three years
are impressive. The Productivity Institute has implemented over 200 projects in
industry, handicrafts, and distribution which have directly affected thousands of
persons at all levels of the economy."
"Furthermore, public attention was focused on the fundamental problems of
organization, management, training, specialization, standardization, budgeting,
planning, company controls, and individual and group motivation
...
"The amount of publicity and public discussion of productivity gives ample
indication of aroused interest. For instance, articles on the Productivity
Institute's activities totalled about 500 yards in daily newspapers alone in 1956.
Further, numerous articles on productivity appeared in all kinds of trade periodicals.
Productivity topics appeared on the agenda of conventions and meetings organized by

productivity efforts in its annual budget."

"Not the least of their [Productivity] merit has been the orientation toward
a Western democratic approach and a common way of looking at the functions and
operation of labor and management. A major result has been Turkish recognition of
the need for organs to provide for continued training and education programs for
management and labor."
