Innovation, Management capability and Productivity in SME's

该项目是与国家统计局(ONS)经济微观数据研究科合作开展的。学生将被送往ESRC生产力研究所(该研究所的牵头主管是协查员和威尔士主管)。这项研究将分析创新支持和管理实践对中小企业生产率的影响以及政策传导路径，包括区域干预和威尔士特别关注的“新冠肺炎”影响。要获得国家统计局企业级的数据资源，学生必须完成《数字经济法》规定的“经批准的研究员”身份。授权访问和随后的数据安全是该项目提出的主要伦理问题。如果新冠肺炎继续实施限制，那么英国国家统计局和CABS将密切合作，确保安全可靠的远程访问。除了合作出版的学术成果外，不需要进行主要的数据收集，也不会产生新的知识产权创造。

This project is in partnership with the Economic Microdata Research section of the Official for National Statistics (ONS). The student will be to the ESRC Productivity Institute (for which the lead supervisor is Co-investigator and Wales lead). The research will analyse impacts of innovation support and management practice on SME productivity as well as policy transmission paths, including regional interventions and Covid-19 impacts with particular attention of Wales. Access to ONS firm-level data resources will require student completion of "approved researcher" status under the Digital Economy Act. Accredited access and subsequent data security are the main ethical issues raised by the project. If Covid-19 restrictions remain in place, then ONS and CARBS will work closely to ensure safe and secure remote access. No primary data collection is entailed, and no new creation of IP will arise, beyond collaborative published academic outputs.
