Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper aimed to investigate whether a proof of concept intervention could develop performance management practices in UK-based manufacturing SMEs to improve productivity. The results showed partial development of practices related to productivity measurement, process orientation, data analysis, and improvement prioritization, but less development in strategic productivity improvement. Depth of engagement within the SME, the level of independent action required, and feedback opportunities were identified as key mechanisms affecting practice development. Key insights for managers include the need for sustained, iterative interventions involving multiple employees, and balancing external guidance with independent action and feedback loops. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

开启英国的生产力蓝图

本简报由一名独立撰稿人撰写，撰稿人会添加自己的公正评论，并将文章置于上下文中进行分析。研究结果本研究论文旨在调查概念验证干预措施是否能够在英国制造业中小企业中发展绩效管理实践，以提高生产率。结果显示，与生产率衡量、流程导向、数据分析和改进优先级相关的实践有了部分发展，但在战略性生产率改进方面的发展较少。中小企业的参与程度、所需的独立行动水平以及反馈机会被认为是影响实践发展的关键机制。对管理者的重要启示包括：需要有多名员工参与的持续、迭代的干预措施，以及在外部指导与独立行动和反馈循环之间取得平衡。独创性/价值该简报只选取最佳、最相关的信息，并以浓缩、易于消化的格式呈现，从而为繁忙的管理人员、战略家和研究人员节省了数小时的阅读时间。
