Productivity also ties to efficiency. There are so many things that can tie into this. Efficiency and productivity can be affected by the employees passion for the workplace, the access to proper technologies, and proper workload. The productivity of a company is a whole system with many moving parts.

I am conflicted about this as I see pros and cons for each situation. On one hand, If the employees are given access to the financials of a company they may feel as though they are a bigger part of the company and be inclined to care more and be more helpful. On the other hand they may become bitter and jealous of those making more money and that could create an unhealthy work environment.

This reminds me of a quote I once heard. I do not remember who it was by but it basically explained that we cannot control what happens in the world. We can only control our reactions. We must adapt, we are not the agents of change.

I thought that patenting a natural resource isnt allowed... If so how are these companies able to use them for their product in their natural state? do they have to alter the natural resource to be able to utilize it?
