title: Cambridge Centre for Business Research SME Dataset, 1987-1995

description: The research programme had five objectives:&lt;br&gt; to draw upon and develop recent theoretical contributions to the study of industrial organisation, firm behaviour and organisational change in a way which enabled them to be applied to the study of small firm creation, growth and development;&lt;br&gt; to employ this framework to analyse empirically the determinants and constraints upon small business birth, growth and survival in a range of industries including hi-tech sectors, knitwear, printing and publishing;&lt;br&gt; to employ the theoretical framework to analyse empirically the role of interfirm relationships and industrial districts in small firm creation, growth and development; &lt;br&gt; to provide a detailed empirical analysis of the role of acquisition activity in the growth of small firms;&lt;br&gt; to use the results of the theoretical and empirical research programme to evaluate policy proposals at a local, national and European level on a range of issues affecting the creation and growth of small firms.&lt;br&gt; The methodology included econometric and case study analysis. Individual projects were conducted against a background analysis derived from a national postal survey of 2000 businesses and official statistics on the small business sector.&lt;br&gt; The aim of the study was to create a longitudinal panel of small to medium enterprise (SME) data relating to a wide range of non-financial and attitudinal characteristics, and also including a limited number of financial variables not normally available in modified company accounts, from the national postal survey mentioned above. The initial survey was conducted in 1991 (covering 1987-1990). A first recall survey of the same population took place in 1993, and a second in 1995.&lt;br&gt; The initial deposit of this study included only the results of the first survey. For the second edition of February 2002, the data and documentation were updated to include the 1993 and 1995 recall surveys.

title: Study of Managerial Careers, 1997-1998

description: The main aim of this project was the extension of an early stage database on managerial careers from years three to five of a planned 20-year study, and the preliminary analysis of career issues affecting subjects in the database.&lt;br&gt; Specific objectives were:&lt;br&gt; to track managerial careers longitudinally, in order to identify systematic patterns of job change and mobility, selection and de-selection, and new forms of work;&lt;br&gt; to link management education to subsequent career success by examining the relationship between performance at business school and subsequent on-the-job performance;&lt;br&gt; to track, and seek patterns of, individual satisfaction with training, work, overall career, and life outside work, in particular work-family and work-health trade-offs.&lt;br&gt; The dataset contains data collected through annual surveys in 1997 and 1998 (continuing on from previous surveys in 1994, 1995 and 1996), as a result of the building/expansion of the longitudinal database on a panel of MBA graduates.

title: National Teaching Standards, 1997-1999

description: Between 1994 and 1998 the Teacher Training Agency (TTA) developed a National Professional Qualification and Standards (NPQS) framework whihc both defined expertise in key roles and constituted a fundamental restructuring of teacher training as an occupation. The NPQS framework consisted of national standards and attendant qualifications for newly qualified teachers, expert teachers, subject leaders and headteachers.&lt;br&gt; The overall aim of the project was to follow through the assumptions, procedures and mechanisms through which NPQS policy was established, including detailed analysis of the processes of consultation and response and the manner in which policy is being translated into practice. This was expressed through the following objectives:&lt;br&gt; to explore the policy origins of NPQS;&lt;br&gt; to clarify the procedures and mechanisms through which the NPQS policy has been established and the manner in which policy is being translated into practice;&lt;br&gt; to evaluate the impact and significance of the NPQS including users' and beneficiaries' perceptions.

title: Effects of Television News in British General Elections, 1997

description: The research used an experimental design to assess the extent to which UK voters' political perceptions are shaped by the content of television news coverage. The research involved:&lt;br&gt; 1. administering a pre-test questionnaire to a randomly selected sample of 1125 respondents;&lt;br&gt; 2. randomly assigning respondents to a series of groups;&lt;br&gt; 3. exposing each group of respondents to a distinctive selection of video news items; and&lt;br&gt; 4. administering a post-test questionnaire to each respondent.&lt;br&gt; The purpose of the research was to establish the extent to which changes between pre-test and post-test responses varied according to the type of video footage that respondents had seen.&lt;br&gt; Three core sets of hypotheses were tested:&lt;br&gt; 1. the agenda-setting hypothesis, where respondents' perceptions of the issue agenda are affected by the content of television news;&lt;br&gt; 2. The time-balance hypothesis, where respondents' perceptions of the political parties are affected by the amount of politically-neutral television news coverage each party is given;&lt;br&gt; 3. The effects of positive versus negative party images on party support, where respondents who were shown video footage that portrayed a particular party in a positive (negative) light should be more likely to evaluate that party positively (negatively) than respondents who were shown politically-neutral coverage.

title: Social History of Alcohol in East Africa, 1850-1998

description: The main aims of this project were:&lt;br&gt; To re-examine the historical patterns of change in the making and drinking of alcohol in East Africa, and to use this history of change as a tool for studying wider debates concerning control of resources within the household, and for exploring ideas of what constitutes proper 'moral' behaviour.&lt;br&gt; To improve the current understanding of economic change in East Africa, with particular regard to conflicts over resources, along lines of gender and age.&lt;br&gt; To explore changing notions of obligation and morality, and of the family.&lt;br&gt; To produce new data on current patterns of domestic alcohol production and consumption in East Africa.&lt;br&gt; The study was undertaken within the context that newspapers, officials and religious leaders in East Africa often talked of how the consumption of alcohol had increased, and changed in the last 150 years. They described a past of 'integrated' alcohol consumption in which liquor was given and consumed in limited, culturally-defined settings and in which drinking was not problematic. They compared this with a present which they characterised as one of widespread excess and moral breakdown, in which alcohol had become a commodity and social relationships had been fractured. This image of change has been taken up by several academic writers. This 'crisis' model has developed alongside a quite different school of academic literature on alcohol in Africa as a whole, which has been largely the work of historians and which has, for the colonial period in particular, been built around a simple control-resistance model which celebrates the sale of locally-made alcohol as a field for economic and social challenges to state and capital.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Parliamentary Poll Books of Sandwich, Kent, 1831-1868

description: The main aim of the project was to examine the inter-relations between politics and economics in Sandwich. The intention was to trace the voting history of each voter, and to associate any changes with external circumstances (e.g. change of occupation, change of residence, etc.) and to identify patterns of change among the voters' political preferences.

title: Markets and Fairs in England and Wales to 1516

description: England’s markets and fairs underpinned one of the densest networks of trade in medieval Europe. The spread of those market institutions, which in England were well established by the eleventh century and then proliferated up to the fourteenth, is a key indicator of the development of a commercial society, and also throws light on patterns of settlement, economic specialisation, and the exercise of power. Yet no comprehensive catalogue of markets and fairs has been compiled. The project collected from various primary printed sources all evidence of enrolled grants and also identified prescriptive markets and fairs to create a gazetteer of markets and fairs for England and Wales up to 1516. This well-recorded set of markets and fairs provides an ideal test-bed for exploring more general issues concerning the interaction between public authority, law, and the growth (or otherwise) of trade. Such issues are currently of central importance for the study of society and economy in both the medieval and the modern world.

title: Dietary Survey of Vegetarians in Great Britain, 1994-1995

description: Background and Objectives&lt;br&gt; In October 1993, British Market Research Bureau International (BMRB) was commissioned to conduct a study for MAFF amongst the vegetarian population of Great Britain. This research was required to recruit a representative sample of 400 vegetarians and investigate their overall diet and intake of certain dietary components. The key objectives were as follows:&lt;br&gt; To obtain accurate and detailed consumption data by coding in such a way as to allow extraction of mean and extreme consumption of individual foods.&lt;br&gt; To identify vegetarians who are consumers of pulses, nuts, legumes, vegetables and fruit.&lt;br&gt; To provide information on the age, gender, social class and regional profile of vegetarians.&lt;br&gt; Participants in the survey were asked to answer a questionnaire about their dietary habits, including reasons for becoming vegetarian, dietary changes since becoming vegetarian and consumption and purchasing habits for different fruits and vegetables. They were then asked to keep a seven day weighed record of their food consumption. This involved weighing and recording in detail everything they ate and drank for seven days in a specially designed diary. On collection of the diary, a further interview was conducted which recorded details on the usage of mineral waters, dietary supplements, alternative protein sources and herbal teas.&lt;br&gt;

title: Welsh Health Survey, 1998-2015
title: WHS

description: The aim of the &lt;i&gt;Welsh Health Survey, 1998&lt;/i&gt; (WHS) was to collect information on a cross-section of the population with a range of illnesses or disabilities and on similar groups of healthy people, without using any medical records. Its results provide a picture of the health and well-being of adults in Wales and their use of and satisfaction with health services. An earlier survey was conducted in 1995, but this is not held at the UK Data Archive.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The 1998 WHS was the last to be conducted using this methodology. A new WHS series began in 2003-2004, but users should note that results from the new WHS survey are not comparable with those from the 1998 survey, because of differences in the questionnaires and survey methodology. The new WHS surveys are held at the UKDA under SNs 5692 (2003-2004), 5693 (2004-2005) and 5750 (2005-2006). Further information about the later WHS series, including links to publications, may be found on the Welsh Assembly Government's &lt;a href="http://new.wales.gov.uk/topics/statistics/theme/health/health-survey/?lang=en" title="Welsh Health Survey"&gt;WHS&lt;/a&gt; web pages.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For the second edition (February 2011), the Welsh Health Survey All Waves User Guide was added to the study documentation.&lt;br&gt;

title: Welsh Assembly Election Study, 1999
title: WAES

description: This survey was a post-election study of the first election to the Welsh National Assembly in 1999. It was designed in the tradition of British General Election Studies and in close conjunction with the 1999 'Scottish Social Attitudes/Scottish Parliamentary Election Study' (held under SN:4346). The questionnaire covers mainly political behaviour and attitudes, together with a thorough classification section. A separate module of questions dealing with the new electoral systems was fielded in a self-completion booklet to face-to-face respondents.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey incorporated a methodological experiment to assess the feasibility of conducting election studies on the telephone in Britain. The sample is therefore made up of three sample types:&lt;br&gt; Sample A: a clustered sample, selected from the Postcode Address File (PAF) and interviewed face-to-face using laptop computers.&lt;br&gt; Sample B: selected using Random Digit Dialling (RDD) and interviewed over the telephone.&lt;br&gt; Sample C: a clustered sample selected from PAF and interviewed over the telephone.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Later Welsh election/Assembly election studies were conducted in 2001 and 2003 under the Wales Life and Times survey series programme (see under study numbers 4546 and 5052). An earlier study of the 1979 general election in Wales is held under SN:1591.

title: Learning and Training at Work, 1999-

description: The 'Learning and Training at Work' surveys, which commenced in 1999, are an annual series of employer surveys that investigate the provision of learning and training at work. The surveys also investigate awareness of, and involvement with, a number of existing and new training and development initiatives. Learning and training information had previously been collected, along with information on recruitment difficulties, skill shortages and skill gaps, in the annual 'Skill Needs in Britain' (SNIB) surveys, which were carried out between 1990 and 1998 (these surveys are not currently held at UKDA).&lt;br&gt;
The objectives of the 'Learning and Training at Work' survey series are to collect information about:&lt;br&gt;
key indicators of employers' commitment to training, such as the Investors in People award; &lt;br&gt;
the volume, type and pattern of off-the-job training provided;&lt;br&gt;
learning opportunities offered;&lt;br&gt;
awareness of, and involvement with, a number of initiatives relevant to training;&lt;br&gt;
the costs associated with the provision of training.&lt;br&gt;
The information collected will be used to inform policy decision making.

title: Telling the Future: Individual and Household Plans among Younger Adults, 1999
title: TTF

description: This study is a follow up from earlier survey work conducted in 1997, 'Individual and Household Strategies: A Decade of Change?' (held at the UK Data Archive under SN:4038). The aim of the earlier study was to further develop understanding of individual and household planning behaviour by collecting information on 200 individuals aged 20-29 (and their partners where they have one) living in Kirkcaldy district. As respondents to that study frequently suggested, the most telling changes in the local labour market had the greatest impact on those under the age of thirty. This was confirmed by the existing research literature on younger age groups. This points to rapid changes in their personal behaviour over the 1980s and 1990s such as 'delayed' marriage and childbearing, the growth of cohabitation and living away from home, the expanded numbers in further education, all in the context of an increasingly 'insecure' local labour market. The aim of the present study was therefore to extend understanding of people's planning behaviour by extending the research focus to look at a younger age group of people aged 20-29. This group was, for the reasons stated above, likely to show some marked differences in their planning behaviour from those older age groups involved in earlier work. In addition, there were also likely to be distinct differences in the familial and employment circumstances of young people in this age group, ranging from those completing their course in full-time further education, to others still living at home with parents, and to those in more or less settled relationships with partners or in single adult households with young children.&lt;br&gt; The questions for the present study were intended to find out about young people's plans throughout their lives so far and the kind of financial and human resources needed to carry them through. Of special interest was how they respond to the success or failure of their earlier plans, how the plans and strategies of male and female partners differ and differences between age groups. Do 20 year olds and 29 year olds differ in their tendency to make plans or in the nature of those plans? Do they develop or put plans together differently? Some of the questions were exactly the same as those used in the earlier study, but others were new. Together they would enable a much better picture to be formed of a fascinating and important aspect of the lives of both individuals and couples in a younger age group than before. &lt;br&gt; Further information about the earlier study, itself a follow-up to the 1986-1988 Social Change and Economic Life Initiative (SCELI) study, may be found under SN:4038.
