Social science knowledge and skills are essential to business operations and development in a wide range of business sectors in the UK, according to a new report by the Campaign for Social Science and SAGE Publishing. Based on in-depth interviews with business leaders at Cisco, Deloitte, Royal Dutch Shell, Willis-Re, WSP and more, the reports findings reveal that employees with social science training are often the operational enablers keeping businesses afloat - HR, accounting, finance, marketing and legal - and play key roles in facilitating and increasing business growth, product development, risk management and strategic planning. As the need for a post-pandemic economic recovery strategy becomes ever more urgent, and as government considers future and higher education, insights from Vital Business: The Essential Role of Social Sciences in the UK Private Sector are both timely and apt. Above all, the report demonstrates that social science subjects are vital for business and should be both welcomed and supported by government in the education system at school and university, alongside STEM disciplines, as essential to the workforce of today and tomorrow.

VITAL BUSINESS: the essential role of the social sciences in the UK private sector

Introduction

This report shows how social science knowledge and skills are used by, and are essential to, a number of UK private sector businesses. It is drawn from a small number of case studies that cover a range of sectors and types of work, from large multinationals to smaller firms, from manufacturing and retail to digital and other services to extractive industry. It is not a statistical analysis, though we know from many statistical sources (including our Positive Prospects report) that social science graduates are found across all sectors in the UK, and their earnings are virtually as high as (or, for some social disciplines, higher than) graduates from so-called STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines.
