This report presents a coherent narrative for enterprise policy within the context of the Smart Economy. It recommends the actions needed to ensure a competitive, sustainable enterprise base that will deliver growth and jobs within the medium-term to 2015.
Driving growth and jobs within Ireland's enterprise base will be reliant on four complementary critical success factors: innovation, productivity, cost competitiveness and a strong enterprise mix (expanding upon Ireland's existing strengths in sectors and markets). The report's recommendations focus on the essential areas of education and skills, R&D and innovation, management development, public procurement, access to finance, infrastructure priorities, the regulatory environment and competition policies, which are relevant to all firms. Creating this optimum environment requires coordinated action across the whole of government.
