Research at LUMS keeps on changing the world, challenging tired ideas and assumptions and taking on the “wicked” problems. In this issue, discover whether there is a high-tech way to create new joined-up communities, explore how shared parental leave has the potential to be a real lever for change,  and find out why tripe is back in.

One route to revitalising the UK economy couldn’t be any clearer. small ﬁrms make up 99% of the private sector, but they typically have lower levels of productivity and invest less in their people and business development. so more productive and innovative small ﬁrms would equate to a seismic shift in UK economic performance. A number of the articles in this issue of Fifty Four Degrees look at the practicalities involved in changing the performance of smaller businesses. In his lead feature, Steve Young explores why it’s so important for employers of all sizes to do more than just pay lip service to the value of their people.

Our latest issue raises the values of 'Good Work' as a basis for improving financial performance and productivity, explores the challenges of a smooth transition for family businesses, and looks at the evolving role of ICT in the workplace.
