Productivity and enterprises

The decisions made by individual firms in the Australian economy, and the interactions between them, will be a key driver of future productivity growth.Governments influence the environment in which firms engage with each other and make investment and production decisions. They set the rules of the game, if you like, and affect the incentives that firms face, and their flexibility to respond.

Insight from Jack Welch

“The best companies now know that real and limitless productivity comes from challenged, empowered, excited and rewarded teams of people ... and from making everyone play a role in the success of the enterprise ... this raises productivity not incrementally, but by multiples”

Jack Welch, Former Chairman and CEO of General Electric
