Management Matters in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Detailed investigative research into the management practices currently in use in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Northern Ireland (NI) was commissioned by the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment, Invest NI, the Department for Employment and Learning, Intertrade Ireland, Forfás and the Management Development Council.
The objectives of the research were to:
- Compare the levels of managerial skills with those in Great Britain and other countries;
- Identify areas of weakness in the management practices of manufacturing firms;
- Identify the factors that may account for the differences; and
- Indicate where targeted improvements could improve performance and investigate whether similar issues also apply in tradable services firms.
