Delivering the Promise of Management Practices
The adoption and utilisation of new management practices is closely linked to productivity. Yet efforts by UKmanagers to translate new management practices into improved performance have been both slower and less successful than some of their counterparts in France, Germany and the US.
It is imperative, therefore, that managers, policymakers and researchers achieve a better understanding of the challenges in realising the benefits of promising management practices for both firms and the economy.
