What has 25 years of P/OM research taught us about productivity
Achieving productivity growth that is both sustained and sustainable is clearly aconcern of Governments across the world, yet what has 25-years of research inproduction and operations management taught us about productivity and to whatextent have these lessons been incorporated into mainstream public policy debates.Using data gathered during a meta-analysis of papers published during the last 25years in the International Journal of Operations and Production Management(IJOPM), the Journal of Operations Management (JOM) and the International Journalof Production Economics (IJPE) this paper argues that the P/OM community haslargely failed to engage with the policy community, not because the researchundertaken by the P/OM community is irrelevant to the policy community, butbecause the P/OM community has failed to capitalize on its relevance. Using aframework based on the OMA model – opportunity, motivation and ability - weexplore the reasons why this is the case for individual P/OM scholars and thecommunity as a whole.
