Most businesses face the choice of either competing on the ‘low road’ of cost, or the ‘high road’ of innovation and value. Much the same goes for national economies and the UK is no exception. But how do businesses-and the people who manage them-go beyond the policy prescription and the easy exhortation to make that shift, to manage change, and go well beyond business as usual? This ground-breaking book-the combined insight of some of the best minds in management, grouped together in the Advanced Institute of Management Research does just that. It presents a clear and crisp analysis of the context and the challenge; and offers managers a range of ideas on how to develop the competences, practices and values that can make a difference. It is essential reading for managers, managers to be, policy makers, analysts, and academics-who want to make a different future. The Advanced Institute of Management Research (AIM) develops UK-based world-class management research. AIM seeks to identify ways to enhance the competitiveness of the UK economy and its infrastructure through research into management and organizational performance in both the private and the public sectors. AIM Research has over 100 academics based in UK business schools, collaboratively working on research into the UK’s national competitiveness and public service management. The research focuses on three meta-level concepts that are particularly relevant to management practice, government policy, and academic expertise: UK Productivity and other measures of performance for the 21st century, innovation sustained in a competitive and social environment, Adaptation of promising practices in new settings.
