1109 - Summary/Objective
1110 -
111001 - Follow up ref SDS 4 J27N.
111002 -
111003 - A letter on marketing SDS for better management cited Drucker as the
111004 - source for the proposition that new methods must be 10 times better in
111005 - order to justify changing work practice, ref DIP 1 DE8F, as shown in
111006 - the record on 011004. ref SDS 4 J27N
111008 -  ..
111009 - Called and left message at Claremont School of Management that
111010 - sponsors Peter Drucker's work.  Wanted source for idea that is often
111011 - attributed to Drucker about innovation needs to improve productivity
111012 - by 10 times in order to justify the cost of being implemented, which
111013 - causes a lot of disruption, per the record on 931130. ref SDS 1 8955
111014 - ..
111015 - For example, at....

111019 -
111020 -
111021 - ...there is a web page called Jordoncooper.com for Quotes that
111022 - attributes under the heading for "Technology" the following to
111023 - Drucker....
111024 -
111025 -       For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten
111026 -       times the benefit.
111028 -  ..
111029 - However no source is given.

111050 - About 40% down the page under a heading "Creating New Instructional
111051 - Materials -- Carol writes....
111052 -
111053 -       Peter Drucker has pointed out that in order for a new technology
111054 -       to be successful, it must do the old job 10 times better.

111401 - Jill Acree called back.
111402 -
111403 - She works in the Drucker Archives.
111405 -  ..
111406 - Jill will look for this quote.  She did not recall a source
111407 - immediately.
111409 -  ..
111410 - She is familiar with Drucker's idea of a knowledge worker, shown in
111411 - the record on 931130 reviewing his books. ref SDS 1 7720
111413 -  ..
111414 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to the record on 931130 to demonstrate
111415 - the quote we want to be supported. ref SDS 1 8955
111417 -  ..
111418 - Also requested a contact at the university for collaborating on
111419 - showing how SDS implements Drucker's ideas on management, ref DIT 1
111420 - 9W6I, as shown in my paper on POIMS technology. ref OF 1 6221
111422 -  ..
111423 - Explained need for technology to implement cognitive science in order
111424 - to accomplish Drucker's vision for a "knowledge worker," as set out in
111425 - Drucker's article in Atlantic Monthly, reviewed on 991025. ref SDS 3
111426 - 0785
111427 -
111429 -  ..
1115 -
1116 -
1117 - 1642
1118 -
111801 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Jill saying she could not find a quote
111802 - that seems to directly support the concept.
111804 -  ..
111805 - The first possibility is close.
111806 -
111807 -         "'Success' in innovating efforts is a batting average of one
111808 -         out of ten. This is, of course, the reason for aiming high in
111809 -         innovative efforts. The one winner has to make up for the nine
111810 -         losers and has to produce its own results." ref DRT 1 DZ5M
111812 -          ..
111813 -         Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices p792
111815 -  ..
111816 - The second one at first seems way off...
111817 -
111818 -         "For a long time (years in many cases) the new endeavor shows
111819 -         neither profits nor growth. It absorbs resources. But then it
111820 -         should grow very fast for quite a long time and return the
111821 -         money invested in its development at least fifty-fold -- if
111822 -         not at a much higher rate -- or else the innovation is a
111823 -         failure." ref DRT 1 WZ6M
111824 -         ..
111825 -         Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Practice and Principles
111827 -      ..
111828 -     Actually, the more I read this second quote, it sounds close to
111829 -     the essence of the idea that an innovation must improve
111830 -     productivity by 10 times in order to justify the front-end
111831 -     investment of making the change.  However, 50 fold does not align
111832 -     very well with 10 fold, sooooooooo....
111834 -  ..
111835 - Jill forwarded the letter earlier today, ref DIT 1 0001, to Professor
111836 - Joseph Maciariello. ref DRT 1 LI7O
111838 -  ..
111839 - Jill reviewed the 991001 Atlantic Monthly article we discussed during
111840 - our call earlier today, ref SDS 0 ML4F, and reports there is another
111841 - article that is more on point; she will forward, when she finds it.
111842 -
