Abstract: The management of firms plays a central role in understanding the drivers of productivity growth which is essential to the setting of monetary and fiscal policy. Policy makers, such as the Federal Reserve Board and the Commerce Department will use the Management and Organizational Practices Survey (MP-10002) to understand the levels and evolution of management practices over time and to forecast future productivity growth. The MP-10002 will utilize the Annual Survey of Manufactures survey panel collecting information on management and organizational practices at the establishment level.
