Abstract

[eng] The rapid economic expansion of German industry, which, in spite of certain ups and downs, was, on the whole, fairly steady, inspired an analysis of labour productivity in relation to capital, investment and prices. . The outstanding features of the recent evolution of German industry are the compression of personnel, shorter working hours and productivity. Industry has concentrated' its efforts on rationalisation equipment.. In parallel, however, the productivity of capital is regressing, in consequence of accelerated technical progress, entailing more elaborate and more costly equipment. On the whole, however, thanks to its productivity, industry has had a moderating. influence on the general price level. But when the volume of services starts to grow faster than the volume of industrial production, the German economy, if it is to maintain its prices, will have to launch a new productivity campaign ; it will have to rationalise business management and ensure an economic return on the tertiary sector. [fre] L'expansion économique rapide de l'industrie allemande, expansion qui, malgré certains accidents de parcours, fut tout compte fait assez ordonnée, suggérait une analyse de la productivité du travail dans ses rapports avec le capital, l'investissement et les prix.. Compressions de personnel, diminution de la durée du travail et productivité sont les faits marquants de l'évolution récente de l'industrie allemande. Celle-ci a centré ses efforts sur l'équipement de rationalisation. . Mais, parallèlement, la productivité du capital est en recul, conséquence du progrès technique accéléré entraînant des équipements plus importants et plus coûteux. . Au total cependant, l'industrie grâce à sa productivité, a exercé un effet modérateur sur le niveau général des prix. Mais lorsque le volume des services sera amené à croître plus vite que le volume de la production industrielle, l'économie allemande, pour maintenir ses prix, devra engager une nouvelle bataille de la productivité; il lui faudra rationaliser la gestion de ses entreprises et rentabiliser son secteur tertiaire.
