Evaluation of the Growth Services Range

The Growth Services Range (GSR), which consists of the Growth Services Fund (GSF), Market Development Services (MkDS) and Client Management Services (CMS), was evaluated in 2005. That evaluation provided evidence on outcomes arising from the scheme and the reach and quality of the service provided by NZTE. It used information drawn primarily from surveys of firms that had received GSR grants and/or services. The overall conclusion of the 2005 evaluation was that the GSR seemed effective in improving firm capability in areas that were considered to be important contributors to firm growth.
