Abstract
In earlier chapters we discussed various financial ratios for evaluating corporate performance. In this chapter we turn to another set of important performance ratios, namely those associated with productivity. There is no denying that productivity is widely acclaimed as the prime factor that determines the level of prosperity and standards of living in most countries of the world, and consequently a great deal of managerial effort is expended on measuring and analysing productivity in industry.
