Contact time
Learning gain
Spend per academic head on teaching practice development

17. INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY Address UK's management and productivity gap
UK firms need to address their management capabilities - a weakness compared to other countries.
UK firms investing less in management than US and European counterparts.
Leadership, productivity, innovation, supply chains, entrepreneurship, scale-ups, and international trade – all cited as areas to stimulate growth. All areas of research and teaching carried out by business schools.
