Summary.
We’ve spent a century creating efficient organizations. We’ve created companies of scale that transform our economy and create wealth. Dozens of companies are now bigger than the economies of entire nations. Optimization and smart management have turned products that were initially seen as novelties — the automobile, the telephone, or personal computers — into huge businesses. The essence of this forward motion is a focus on convenience and efficiency. Predictable, manageable efforts toward stability and profitability.
