ABSTRACT

This policy brief draws on reports on Local Economic Complexity (by Penny Mealy and Diane Coyle) and Supply Chains (by Jacob Miller) prepared for the Greater Manchester Prosperity Review: www.gmprosperityreview.co.uk

Looking at examples provided from the research in Greater Manchester this report offers policy makers:

  1. New ways for visualising differences in places’ productive capabilities and their opportunities for economic development
  2. An exploration of supply chains and what Manchester businesses value, and what has helped them grow in today’s market
  3. A set of policy implications for regional growth
