Dataset relating to the ESRC-funded Productivity Insights Network project: "Exploring the productivity narrative in manufacturing organisations"

The dataset consists of 40 transcripts from face-to-face and telephone interviews undertaken with a range of employees across the organisational hierarchy in 19 manufacturing companies based in the UK. The data is commercially sensitive and is restricted to backend access. The data were generated as part of an ESRC-funded project: ‘Exploring the productivity narrative in manufacturing organisations”. The aim of the project was to understand how productivity was understood at different levels within the firm. The project was undertaken between September 2018 and July 2019 and funded as a Pioneer Project by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) through the Productivity Insights Network Programme (Reference ES/R007810/1). The University of Strathclyde led the project, collaborating with co-investigators from the Universities of Aston, Bristol and York
