The same thing is happening on the input side, where more and more of the important inputs to production aren’t just labor, capital, energy, and materials, but organizational capital and other intangible assets. Real research and management agendas for the coming decade are to understand better these intangible outputs and inputs because you can’t manage what you don’t measure.
