I would advise you to have a look at philosopher Joseph Heath’s work. He has a book, “The Efficient Society”, where, according to Wikipedia, “[h]e argues that Canada’s successes as a nation are largely attributable to its commitment to efficiency as a value”. In “Morality, Competition, and the Firm” he also discusses the central role of efficiency on ethics (business’ and beyond).
