New Event: Mangement Practices & Productivity: Why they matter Thursday 12th July 2007 This seminar will present the findings of the latest phase of the joint McKinsey/LSE research into management practices among industrials (over 3,500 manufacturers in over 10 countries). New Work: CEP Policy Analysis Objective, brief and non-technical, CEP Policy Analyses aim to provide background briefings to key policy issues raised in the news. The latest briefing is on: UK Productivity During The Blair Era New Software: 1.

Estimating Investment Models Other Featured Work: Management Practices and Productivity by Nick Bloom, Stephen Dorgan, John Dowdy, Christos Genakos, Raffaella Sadun and John Van Reenen Boosting Innovation and Productivity Growth in Europe: The hope and the realities of the EU's 'Lisbon agenda' Work Life Balance, Management Practices and Productivity Innovation and productivity are at the centre of economic wellbeing, but Britain and Europe are seen to be lagging behind the United States. The programme addresses three major questions. Why is UK productivity (output per hour worked) still so far below that in the US, France and Germany? What are the reasons for wide variations in firm productivity even within narrowly defined sectors? And why has productivity growth in the US has been so much more impressive over recent years than in the UK and European economies? The program examines the role of information and communication technologies, new organisational practices, skills, R&D and the regulation of the labour and product markets in shaping innovation and productivity. There is a strong focus on linking empirical findings to practical policy and economic theory.
