Abstract

This chapter is about the ‘making of’ official statistics. The processes, structures and actors that are crucial for the high quality are to be presented. Official statistics are understood as industry that produces information. Consequently, in the presentation, the terms and concepts of modern management are used throughout. The first section starts with the business model of statistics with its dimensions of the processes (‘how’), the products (‘what’) and the producers (‘who’). It then deals with important overarching topics, such as quality management, national and international statistics and statistical confidentiality. With a look at the recent modernisation of the business model, the current status of Statistics 3.0 is summarised.
