Does anyone know of an instrument to measure SMEs productivity? It should be answered by uneducated and educated managers, and must provide comparable data along different economic sectors.

So probably not helpful problems rather than solutions..... however, Having worked as a business profession within an SME, not just studying them, there are many non-tangible aspects that employees add to the business or tasks for them to complete to facilitate job completion that will be missed as part of most metrics. So although you maybe get a tangible figure for productivity that may tell a story (output/resource input), that snapshot will be insufficient on its own. I think productivity as a term is to broad to measure with any accuracy. I think you need to draw down further in my opinion. A firm can mass produce and look effective, but at what quality, how many returns? etc.
