Britain's managers must lift their game if they are to close the productivity gap with their competitors, new research from the Programme reveals. The latest report from Robert Taylor, 'Partnerships at Work. The Way to Corporate Renewal' is available here.

This exciting and innovative initiative has brought together leading researchers in the United Kingdom in an investigation of the future prospects for paid and unpaid work. The most systematic and rigorous enquiry of its kind, the ESRC programme has provided the evidence based research to assist policy makers, practitioners and researchers to interpret the changing world of work in an era of rapid social, technological and economic change.

In recognition of the continuing success of the Programme, and its impact on academic and policy debates, the ESRC awarded additional funds to maintain the important research and policy networks created since the Programme's inception in October 1998. The additional grant has supported inter alia, three national seminars and a second international colloquium.
