Literature and insights: The Mammon Report.

The article presents information about Mammon Commission that was established in Australia in response to the concern over the escalation of cost and diminishing quality of after-life care services provided by a department known as Department of Salvation. The department began as a family business and later transformed into a bureaucracy maintained at pubic expense. The management strategies had not kept pace with the growth of the organization. The commission also observed another after life care provider in private sector Eternal Warmth Pty Ltd. It provided the same services as did Department of Salvation at a fraction of cost. Eternal Warmth had also been subjected to a sustained campaign of misleading advertising orchestrated by the Department.
