Three realms: Operations Monitoring & Evaluation Change
Examples
Material and Content Scope
The focus is on interactions in the material stratum1, with narrow interfaces with the content such as plans (prescribing what to do when), and recording applications (recording what has happened, for instance for monitoring and evaluation purposes)
Possible Economies
Economies of scale, the economies typically achieved in production systems and supply and distribution chains.
Collective or Individual Action?
Excessive collective action in the operations realm harms competitiveness, innovation and creativity.
The decision monopoly that is characteristic of government or any other collective decision making has a tendency to harm diversity and accumulate more operational tasks than is optimal.
This is a major concern of free market advocates. In the operations realm, individual action and its aggregation in competitive firms tends to yield progressive outcomes.
