This research project explores the relationship between skills, management practices and innovation to better understand how government policy and industrial management might intervene to improve the performance of the UK economy. Previous work has shown how different levels, types and arrangements of workforce skills and managerial practices improve innovative performance when they are grouped together in "bundles". So while managerial interventions to improve performance may have little or no impact on their own, when they are combined the impact can be considerable. This project is exploring those relationships in more detail, and trying to unpick the complex causality at work. The project involves exploiting detailed datasets based on repeated surveys of firms over a number of years, that allow these relationships to be explored over extended periods of time. Together with the new statistical methods that the project will develop, the team will be able to analyse these causal mechanisms in a robust way to show the directions and strengths of the relationships, and how they vary across different types of firms. In conducting this research, the project team aim to help improve engagement between academic researchers, industrial practitioners and policy makers through a programme of collaborative research that will highlight points where both managers and policy makers can intervene to improve performance and contribute to improved innovation, productivity and job creation. The project involves five subprojects that address: a) which pattern of complementary skills and managerial practices are associated with what kinds of innovative performance, b) how these relationships change over the long term for a sample of high tech firms, and what the causes and impacts of those strategic changes are,c) how the increased number of graduates in the UK have been distributed across sectors over the last 15 years, and what impact that has had on wages and productivity,d) how new econometric methods can be used to understand the causal relationships that link skills and innovation, ande) how the results of the project can be packaged and diffused to best influence policy and practice.Improvements in skills are one of the main ways in which individual employees improve their working conditions and firms improve their economic performance. However, the way in which they interact with each other, and with different managerial practices within firms, is very complex. This project hopes to unpick some of this complexity to enable policy makers, firms and individuals to make better, more informed choices about the value of those skills.

该研究项目探讨了技能、管理实践和创新之间的关系，以更好地了解政府政策和工业管理如何进行干预，以提高英国经济的绩效。之前的工作已经表明，不同水平、类型和安排的劳动力技能和管理实践在“捆绑”在一起时如何提高创新绩效。因此，虽然提高绩效的管理干预措施本身可能影响很小或没有影响，但当它们结合起来时，影响可能会相当大。该项目正在更详细地探索这些关系，并试图揭开工作中复杂的因果关系。该项目涉及利用基于多年来对公司重复调查的详细数据集，从而可以在较长时间内探索这些关系。结合该项目将开发的新统计方法，该团队将能够以稳健的方式分析这些因果机制，以显示关系的方向和强度，以及它们在不同类型公司之间的差异。在进行这项研究时，项目团队旨在通过一项合作研究计划，帮助提高学术研究人员、行业从业者和政策制定者之间的参与度，该计划将突出管理者和政策制定者可以干预以提高绩效并为提高创新、生产力做出贡献的要点和创造就业机会。该项目涉及五个子项目，涉及：a）哪种互补技能和管理实践模式与哪种创新绩效相关，b）对于高科技公司样本来说，这些关系如何长期变化，以及原因和变化是什么。这些战略变化的影响是，c) 过去 15 年里英国增加的毕业生数量如何分布在各个部门，以及这对工资和生产率产生了什么影响，d) 如何使用新的计量经济学方法了解因果关系将技能和创新联系起来，以及如何打包和传播项目的结果，以最好地影响政策和实践。技能的提高是员工个人改善工作条件和公司提高经济绩效的主要方式之一。然而，他们之间的互动方式以及公司内部不同管理实践的互动方式非常复杂。该项目希望消除这种复杂性，使政策制定者、公司和个人能够对这些技能的价值做出更好、更明智的选择。
