The document summarizes the results of a pilot survey on management practices conducted with UK manufacturing businesses. The pilot found that (1) most businesses were willing to participate in the voluntary survey, (2) there was variation in management practice scores within industries and business types, and (3) higher management scores were correlated with higher productivity, especially in chemicals/pharma and textiles. Next steps include expanding the survey to the services sector with a larger sample size to collect more comprehensive data on management practices across industries.
