Productivity and performance
The focus on fast-growing firms as a mechanism for stimulating economic growth and productivity has increasingly become the focus of industrial policy in developed economies. This research report examines Productivity Heroes, which are small and medium-sized enterprises in the United Kingdom that achieve simultaneous growth in both revenue and employment. While the study looks at national trends, it focuses specifically on Wales, where these high-performing firms contribute significantly to the economy despite a broader regional productivity gap.
