Policy makers, such as the Federal Reserve Board and the Commerce Department will use the Management and Organizational Practices Survey (MP-10002) to understand the levels and evolution of management practices over time and to forecast future productivity growth. The MP-10002 will utilize the Annual Survey of Manufactures survey panel collecting information on management and organizational practices at the establishment level.
