This book examines the role of public skills policy from a new perspective. It starts by challenging the lack of a systematic analysis of the link between skills utilisation and business strategy, and provides a new model for fresh thinking. It extends this theoretical analysis to examine the implications for the sectoral approach to skills development as a more effective form of public skills policy.
