What is Methodology of Efficiency

Chapter 7
Handbook of Research on Enterprise 2.0: Technological, Social, and Organizational Dimensions
The need for requisite holism of consideration of efficiency requires the methodological bases of the efficiency construct to be requisitely holistic as well. In that framework, two aspects require priority attention. i.e.: A (minor) part of the methodology for dealing with an efficiency construct depends on the framework given by the selection of the approach for dealing with the efficiency construct, and; A (larger) part of the methodology depends on the chosen methodology of dealing with the organization, and which measure of efficiency is a side-effect of the work.

Abstract
To some authors and scientists the concepts effectiveness and efficiency are significantly different. To others, they mean the same; while to a third group the truth about them lies somewhere between these two extremes. This chapter provides an overview of efficiency theories. It finds that the term efficiency covers both doing the right thing and doing the thing right. Efficiency is not limited to internal factors of success, nor should effectiveness only be seen as a term pertaining to the outer factors of success of a human origin, organization source, or inherent in national, local, or international regions.
