Over the twentieth century, the ability to process information in terms of labor units has improved by a factor in the order of 1 to 5 trillion.
This improvement represents a compounded growth rate of between 30 to 35 percent per year for a century.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the mechanical calculator offered a modest productivity increase but the number of workers required to maintain the accounts of a medium-sized business still remained very high. Many tasks would take a large investment in equipment and a significant number of accountants' weeks to process.
A hundred years later, the same tasks can be completed by a standard desktop computer in minutes. The challenge for management has transitioned from a simple reduction in labor requirements to leveraging the increased processing power to develop competitive, efficient, and profitable organizations.
