How should local and national governments intervene to help businesses improve their productivity? And what can those businesses do to help themselves? Policy interventions and strategies should be designed in line with 3 principles:
- Target companies in the long tail of productivity laggards that have potential to improve.
- Holistically strengthen all the factors affecting their productivity.
- Engage target companies using the right channels and incentives.
