The UK faces significant economic uncertainties. Brexit will bring new challenges and opportunities, alongside the continuing productivity gap and persistent trade deficit. At the same time, global trends related to Industry 4.0 and digitisation are challenging the viability of existing business models, and creating new policy challenges. ERC will help address these challenges through: a programme of robust, policy-related research; synthesis of existing knowledge; and extensive stakeholder engagement. The plans we outline build on an extensive Stakeholder Consultation we conducted in early 2017 with over seventy participants, as well as subsequent discussions with Funders and other potential partners.Research and data development (plans for month 1 to month 20)Over this period our research programme is divided into four themes and eight projects of fixed duration: 1. SME Finance and Investment - SME Finance has been a consistent focus of ERC research since its inception with a focus on discouragement and the impact of financial status on performance. Current concerns focus more strongly on SMEs' willingness to invest in both tangible and intangible assets, and how this might influence firm and local growth in the future. Reflecting these concerns we propose two initial projects in this research theme linking SMEs' tangible and intangible investments to firm-level and place-based growth.2. Innovation, internationalisation and growth - understanding the barriers and enablers of innovation and its relationship to internationalisation and growth has been central to ERC since its inception. Recent projects have focussed on university-business collaboration, the growth effects of publicly funded R&D and profiling innovation activity across LEPs in England. To date, however, studies of SME innovation and growth in the UK have generally paid relatively little attention to the IP system. We plan two inter-linked projects in this theme which explore the returns to public and privately funded R&D in small firms and explore the contribution of IP to growth and productivity. The latter project will develop new matched data resources.3. Leadership and management (L&M) teams and SME performance - Concern about the quality of L&M in UK firms has been longstanding, with potential implications for growth and productivity. We propose two studies focussed on how management practices can assist small firms to draw on external resource and knowledge acquisition to boost growth and productivity. The results will have implications both for management training and place-based policies for business development. 4.Diffusion and productivity upgrading - Significant disparities in innovation and productivity exist between the most productive 'frontier firms' and other, more domestically-oriented, 'non-frontier firms', and between micro and larger companies. Projects in this theme focus on calibrating productivity differentials within sectors and localities, exploring their determinants and developing appropriate policy responses. Synthesis:A key learning point from the first two Phases of ERC is the value of synthesis activity alongside new knowledge creation. Curation of existing knowledge to make it accessible is therefore a core theme of our proposals. Our Stakeholder Consultation also suggested the value of short, focussed briefing notes which provide an expert and robust view of a tightly defined topic. Illustrative topics might be "How do quality standards such as ISO 9000 change firms' ability to innovate? or 'What makes a small business resilient?'. SOTA reviews will be 3-4 pages, written in non-technical language, and provide hyperlinks to source material. SOTA Reviews will be commissioned from UK and international academic and policy experts across the social sciences. Provision is made for 20 Reviews in Year 1 with a further 10 in Year 2 and Year 3 of ERC Phase 3. Reviews will be hosted on the ERC website.

英国面临重大的经济不确定性。英国脱欧将带来新的挑战和机遇，同时带来持续的生产力差距和持续的贸易逆差。与此同时，与工业 4.0 和数字化相关的全球趋势正在挑战现有商业模式的可行性，并带来新的政策挑战。 ERC 将通过以下方式帮助应对这些挑战： 强有力的政策相关研究计划；现有知识的综合；以及广泛的利益相关者参与。我们概述的计划建立在 2017 年初与 70 多名参与者进行的广泛的利益相关者磋商以及随后与资助者和其他潜在合作伙伴的讨论的基础上。研究和数据开发（第 1 个月到第 20 个月的计划）在此期间，我们的研究计划分为四个主题和八个固定期限的项目： 1. 中小企业融资和投资 - 自 ERC 研究成立以来，中小企业融资一直是 ERC 研究的一贯重点，重点是劝阻 以及财务状况对绩效的影响。目前的担忧更多地集中在中小企业投资有形和无形资产的意愿，以及这可能如何影响公司和地方未来的增长。为了反映这些担忧，我们在本研究主题中提出了两个初步项目，将中小企业的有形和无形投资与公司层面和地方增长联系起来。2．创新、国际化和增长——自 ERC 成立以来，了解创新的障碍和推动因素及其与国际化和增长的关系一直是 ERC 的核心。最近的项目重点关注大学与企业的合作、公共资助研发的增长效应以及英格兰 LEP 的创新活动概况。然而，迄今为止，英国中小企业创新和增长的研究普遍对知识产权制度的关注相对较少。我们在此主题中计划两个相互关联的项目，探索小企业公共和私人资助研发的回报，并探讨知识产权对增长和生产力的贡献。后一个项目将开发新的配套数据资源。 3．领导和管理 (L&M) 团队以及中小企业绩效 - 英国公司长期以来一直关注 L&M 的质量，这对增长和生产力具有潜在影响。我们提出两项研究，重点关注管理实践如何帮助小企业利用外部资源和知识获取来促进增长和生产力。结果将对管理培训和业务发展的地方政策产生影响。 4.扩散和生产力升级——生产力最高的“前沿企业”与其他更面向国内的“非前沿企业”之间，以及微型企业与大型企业之间，在创新和生产力方面存在显着差异。该主题的项目侧重于校准部门和地方内部的生产率差异，探索其决定因素并制定适当的政策应对措施。综合：ERC 前两个阶段的一个关键学习点是综合活动与新知识创造的价值。因此，整理现有知识以使其易于获取是我们提案的核心主题。我们的利益相关者磋商还提出了简短、重点突出的简报的价值，这些简报为严格定义的主题提供了专家和强有力的观点。说明性主题可能是“ISO 9000 等质量标准如何改变企业的创新能力？或‘是什么让小企业具有弹性？’。SOTA 审查将有 3-4 页，以非技术语言编写，并提供源材料的超链接。SOTA 审查将由英国和国际社会科学领域的学术和政策专家委托进行。第一年规定 20 项审查，第二年和第二年另外 10 项审查 ERC 第 3 阶段的第 3 部分。审核将在 ERC 网站上进行。
