| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of firms of the management training and development provided as part of the Business Growth Training Option 3, a programme of United Kingdom government financial assistance to help small and medium-sized enterprises in Britain to employ consultants to train and develop their management staff. The study compares changes in a cohort of firms undergoing management training and development in Option 3, with a matched sample of firms not in receipt of assistance. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of management training in small and medium enterprises. It shows that Option 3 assistance led to improvements in management, organisation and business performance in participant firms. |
