New Models of Business Growth - the business environment is constantly evolving, and changing its modes of operation. Those businesses that are able to adapt most effectively and efficiently within this changing environment will be those that succeed. At Robert Huggins Associates it is one of our key research aims to constantly monitor this changing environment, and to inform relevant actors of new modes of business growth. For example Robert Huggins Associates has led the way in advocating the network-based capital-based mode of business growth. Also, we have undertaken considerable work on clustered business growth.

The Knowledge and Skills Economy Approach - human capital underpins business and economic progress. At Robert Huggins Associates we have developed a range of analytical tools that measure the strengths, weaknesses and potential of regions and localities - as well as individual businesses with regard to their knowledge and skills base. We offer knowledge and skills audits and solutions by which economies and businesses are able to embed themselves in a more productive and wealthier environment.
