EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN THE MILITARY
EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN THE MILITARY

Summary/Abstract: To be or not to be? It sounds very familiar for anyone on this Earth, isn’t it? I would put it in another way: Efficiency or effectiveness? That is The Question that a different Shakespearian military background thinking could ask! The field the debate smoothly moves into with this famous monologue is no longer actor’s area of interest, but a military one. And if we talk about a military, L’art de la Guerre is on the top of it. Should we do the things right? or Should we do the right thing? In a perfect world, I would give a positive answer for both. As a result, being strongly linked with these questions, the concepts of Efficiency and, respectively, Effectiveness, which are subjects for diversity of approaches, will be extended throughout this paper as I consider, in my opinion, it should look like in the military, without pretending to be an exhaustive approach.
