👉 Expediency is a concept in management and organizational design that refers to the tendency of organizations or individuals to prioritize short-term gains over long-term benefits. This can lead to inefficiency, as it may not consider the potential consequences of actions taken at the expense of others or resources. In terms of economics, expediency often involves prioritizing immediate needs and desires over longer-term planning. It is a way of thinking that sees the world in terms of short-term gains rather than long-term benefits.
