New Strategy

Underpinning £136 billion of economic activity in the United Kingdom, Britain’s National Mapping Agency is a commercialising public sector organisation having trading fund status and existing in the intersection of two different spheres—the public and the private. Recognised as a leading participant in the geographic information industry, within which it is forging partnerships with key private sector companies, the organisation has enthusiastically grasped e-business as an all-embracing phenomenon and implemented a new strategy that transformed the way it did business. Drawing on longitudinal data gathered over a period of four years, this article explores the processes of strategic and organisational transformation engendered by e-business implementation in this organisation and discusses the successful elements, as well as some of the challenges to its change efforts.

Rate Of Increase

In this analysis of the behaviour of the United Kingdom economy we extend our forecast horizon to the end of 1982. As a consequence it is possible to see a slight upturn in economic activity during the forecast period (table 1) with GDP at the end of 1982 reaching about the same level as it had in the second quarter of this year. This upturn, however, is much too small to prevent the continuing rise in unemployment. Accordingly we expect registered unemployment in Great Britain (excluding school leavers) to reach 2½-2¾ million on a seasonally adjusted basis by the end of 1982. The upturn in activity does mean that the rate of increase in unemployment is likely to diminish but it is not sufficient for unemployment to show any signs of reaching a peak before the end of 1982.
