The three parts of the present appeal successively deal with the following parts of the tragedy: (i) the technological and economical aspects; (ii) the social and philosophical implications; (iii) the moral and spiritual messages. A new way of thinking about identification of correct behavior and management that would allow the living community to evolve towards a optimum future is sketched and the whole of the scientific community is invited to contribute out of conflicts of interest to fill the appeal with the wisdom that Science should be able to bestow to humanity, in conjunction with Arts and Philosophy whose contribution is emphasized.

It is a Total Productivity Measurement (TPM) model, which directly measures and relates productivity with long-term profitability (defined as the Shareholder Value Added-SVA) and uses dynamic productivity ratios and their effects on profitability in value terms. The proposed model could support management at the business unit level in their strategic decision making process (the formulation and evaluation of proposed future strategies), and the evaluation of current strategies (the performance measurement and improvement process), and could close the gap between strategy development and its implementation.
