Policies for Productivity

Comparative Global Insights

This pioneering book examines the key factors shaping targeted public procurement within Canadian federal departments, focusing specifically on two significant social procurement policies: the Federal Contractors Program and the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Businesses. By investigating the implementation and effectiveness of these policies, the book addresses an important gap in the existing literature and offers new insights into the role of government procurement in advancing social policy objectives. It demonstrates how public procurement can contribute to broader goals of inclusion, equity, and social justice in Canada.The practical contribution of this book lies in the case study insights that illuminate the successes and challenges faced during the policy implementation phase. These findings are invaluable for federal government departments in Canada, as well as for other Commonwealth countries, offering a framework for understanding how targeted procurement can support socio-economic objectives.This research is particularly relevant to developed countries like Canada and Australia, which share similar political, cultural, and economic contexts. With the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately impacted vulnerable communities, this book highlights the potential of social procurement as a strategy to create employment opportunities for marginalized groups.The findings benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including regulators, policymakers, procurement practitioners, and researchers. This book provides a new framework for assessing public procurement practices, which could serve as a tool for improving employment equity and setting best practices in procurement processes. It is essential reading for academics and policymakers aiming to enhance socio-economic outcomes through targeted public procurement.

Inclusion of Social Services in Public Procurement

Why the career ladder you were climbing has come apart, and what to do about it.Your job title may still be intact. The meetings continue; the monthly presentation still needs producing. But AI is already taking on the reporting, coordination, research and analysis work that once justified whole teams. The change seldom arrives with a dramatic announcement. It's more insidious than that: the hire is paused, the contractor is not renewed, the promotion evaporates.Written by someone building the tools behind this shift, The Next Rung looks at the knowledge-work middle: project leads, analysts, account managers, operations teams and managers whose jobs depend on orchestration. It traces the pressure from boardroom economics to kitchen-table arithmetic, and asks what happens when professional incomes and mortgages are exposed at the same time.Inside, you'll find: <ul> <li> The roles AI is quietly hollowing out </li> <li> Why the 'junior grind' is disappearing </li> <li> The 80/20 Collapse in professional work </li> <li> A practical audit of your exposure and runway </li> <li> The human capabilities that still matter </li> <li> Routes towards trades, portfolio work and community enterprise </li> <li> What AI's gains mean for housing, welfare and inequality. </li> </ul>This is a clear-eyed notebook from inside the transition, focused on judgement, resilience and building work with more human value. It will let you know where you stand, strengthen your options, and help you make your next move before the ladder disappears beneath you.

Why AI is breaking the career ladder, and how to find your next step

The Next Rung

Corporatism and Neoliberalism in a Global Era

The World Economic Forum and COVID-19

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

A Data-Driven Framework for Measuring and Improving Governance Across Nations

Macro-Governance Theory

This book examines how digital transformation, flexible work arrangements, and institutional change are reshaping organizations in the public sector and beyond. Drawing on transaction cost economics, institutional theory, public management scholarship, organizational theory, and research on virtual and hybrid work, the book analyzes the opportunities and challenges associated with new forms of work in the digital age.
 
 &nbsp;
 
 Moving beyond debates over whether telework and flexible work arrangements are beneficial, the author investigates the organizational and institutional conditions under which smart work programs can enhance productivity, employee well-being, inclusion, and organizational resilience. Particular attention is given to the managerial and institutional challenges associated with remote and hybrid work, including trust, accountability, collaboration, organizational culture, leadership, fairness, and social isolation. The author identifies often-overlooked coordination and governance costs that emerge in digitally enabled workplaces and explores strategies for reducing these barriers through effective organizational design and institutional support.
 
 &nbsp;
 
 Combining theoretical analysis with empirical evidence and illustrative cases from government and industry, the book develops a framework for understanding how organizations can adapt to technological, social, and environmental change while maintaining effective workforce management. As such, it will be of interest to researchers and students in public administration, public management, organizational studies, human resource management, and digital governance, as well as practitioners responsible for leading and managing hybrid and remote workforces.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling real-time patient monitoring, improving treatment outcomes, and reducing costs. Connected medical devices such as wearable sensors, smart insulin pumps, and remote patient monitoring systems collect continuous health data, allowing healthcare providers to track vital signs, detect anomalies early, and intervene proactively. By bridging the gap between patients and healthcare systems, IoT technology drives better health outcomes, enhances patient engagement, and creates more efficient, data-driven healthcare delivery models.Integrating IoT into Smart Healthcare Systems examines the challenges and benefits of IoT-based healthcare systems. It examines how IoT applications can improve diagnostics, patient experience, and healthcare outcomes. With an emphasis on patient care, the book looks at patient safety, maintaining confidentiality, and medical data protection. The book also appeals to health care practitioners by technology improving communication and diagnoses. Taking a broad perspective to include complementary technology, highlights of the book include:<ul> <li>Advancing electronic medical data protection through Blockchain innovation</li> <li>Enhancing patient care with machine learning-powered IoT solutions</li> <li>Real-time patient health tracking using AI-driven IoT infrastructure</li> <li>Ensuring reliable multimedia data transmission in IoT-based smart healthcare networks.</li> </ul>By addressing the requirements and interests of researchers, students, and professionals, the book focuses on benefits, obstacles, and best practices for integrating IoT into healthcare to provide useful insight and to share practical experience.

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>
