Abstract

Our study examines the potent interrelationships between learning, productivity, and the intellect (intelligence) to show how improvements in our noetic (intellectual) capabilities could help boost productivity in the economic sense. The goal is to make learning more outcome-based to have its effects felt on the broad aspects of development that can positively modulate our productivity levels.
