1. inefficiently

   Inefficiency refers to a situation or condition in which resources are not used in the best possible way. It implies that a particular process, system, operation or method could be improved to achieve greater output with the same amount of input or to achieve the same output with less input. Inefficiently, therefore, refers to doing something in such a way that wastes time, energy, or materials. It is the opposite of being productive or effective, resulting in unnecessary costs or delays.

1. Al Baker:

   I think domestic airlines in India are inefficiently run. The only one efficiently run is IndiGo. If we have the opportunity to acquire a stake in IndiGo we shall be very pleased to do so.

2. Norval Morris:

   The prime function of the criminal law is to protect our persons and our property; these purposes are now engulfed in a mass of other distracting, inefficiently performed, legislative duties. When the criminal law invades the spheres of private morality and social welfare, it exceeds its proper limits at the cost of neglecting its primary tasks. This unwarranted extension is expensive, ineffective, and criminogenic.
