The firms are weighted after their own industry's proportion of value added in the business sector.except for firms in the financial business sector since they still lack of harmonised value added data

Prel. conclusionThe bundles of used learning and work practices predicts higher productivity better than TQM
The difference between the two models is that •Firms using bundles include temporary contracts
•Firms using TQM includes instead:
- cooperation and outsourcing- cooperation with use of ICT - and cooperation in external R&D - many direct reporting departments to CEO
