W. EDWARD DEMMING - TRANSFORMATION IN MANAGEMENT 055822
For 30 years, U.S. exports have declined steadily. Even agricultural exports, once a major source of trade income, have fallen below the level of agriculture imports. Prevalent management systems since the 1950s has discouraged individual initiative. The results are decreased innovation and a reduction in applied technology. To restore motiva- tion, innovation, and joy in work and learning, a transformation of management is essential. This transformation requires application of a system of profound knowledge and an understanding of processes and statistics. Areas of understanding include system optimization, stat- istical variation, special versus common causes of variation, and losses resulting from tampering.

Do lobbyists communicate or peddle influence? 5. Do political agendas get in the way of the issues?

WATCHKEEPERS, THE 056116
Throughout history, people have kept watch over their own corner of Spaceship Earth, but now, satellites scan the planet. At the Institute of Archaeology in La Paz, a U.S.-Bolivian group rediscovered a South American Indian system of agriculture 1200 years after the fall of the Tiwanakan empire. When local farmers reprise the Tiwanakan's raised fields, they are rewarded with spectacular results, proving that ex- pertise is not necessarily in the textbooks of high-tech countries. In India, the monsoon gives hundreds of millions another year to live. Computer models vary in their rain forecasts, by how global warming would affect the life giving rains. As this program makes clear, our views of the environment must be balanced by attention to the needs of humans everywhere.
