In human thermodynamics, business thermodynamics is the study of the energetic aspects of the transformative processes of business operation. [1] The field itself is a relatively new line of research. Beginning in the late 1970s, thermodynamic terminologies, such as corporate entropy or thermodynamic efficiency, have begun to find application in theory and practice. One of the first articles in business thermodynamics, to incorporate a human molecule, chemical thermodynamics point of view was the 2005 article "Human Thermodynamics and Business Efficiency" by American business strategist Lynn Liss.
