American management practices vs kernel developmentAmerican management practices vs kernel developmentPosted May 10, 2008 2:29 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: American management practices vs kernel development by joern Parent article: Quotes of the week
The main point of a market economy is to 1. distribute the decision process and 2. award those who make the best decisions. Nothing is needed to achieve 2, it always follows naturally once you have 1. I can't tell what you disagree with, though you called something bull****. The points above are entirely consistent with the concept I described of internal competition generating benefits by separating good workers from poor workers. The decisions that are being distributed, and rewarded, are primarily the decisions on whose work product to buy.
If it was about good workers and poor workers, how can you explain the dramatic\ economic improvements in countries going from command economies to market economies. Poor workers are removed from the work they're (comparatively) poor at and selected for work they're good at. Command economies aren't very good at that, and it makes a big difference. But I didn't actually say separating good workers from poor is what makes capitalism right for China. I said it's an argument for internal competition in businesses. In particular, I said it's more common than the argument that internal competition makes poor workers good.
