Judgement of the overall effectiveness of the Marshall Plan productivity assistance program
in Europe must consider its relatively small cost; its unprecedented start-up speed and completion in some
ten years, reaching significant impact in five years; its sub-continental scale involving 15 nations in Europe;
its revolutionary impact on technology transfer; and its impact on living standards. Productivity trends in
Western Europe which are estimated to have remained at about a 1% increase since the beginning of the
century in output per man hour generally reached a 2-3% level of increase in some five years and in the
second five year span reached levels of 5% to 7% in some countries.
4.41
The complexity of technology transfer and the multitude of factors affecting productivity levels
over a ten year period in 15 European nations which varied widely in industrialization and managerial culture
do not lend themselves easily to overall measures. Reflective comments on the Marshall Plan Productivity
Assistance from Annual Reports of some of the Productivity Centers and from U.S. experts collaborating in
the European productivity programs are included in Appendix 4.
