4. Business practices in small firms in developing countries

Subjects

Abstract

Management has a large effect on the productivity of medium and large firms. But does management matter in micro and small firms, where the majority of the labor force in developing countries works? We develop 26 questions that measure business practices in marketing, stock-keeping, record-keeping, and financial planning. These questions have been administered in surveys in Bangladesh, Chile, Ghana, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka. We show that variation in business practices explains as much of the variation in outcomes--sales, profits, and labor productivity and total factor productivity--in microenterprises as in larger enterprises. Panel data from three countries indicate that better business practices predict higher survival rates and faster sales growth. The association of business practices with firm outcomes is robust to including numerous measures of the owner's human capital. We find that owners with higher human capital, children of entrepreneurs, and firms with employees employ better business practices. History: Accepted by Toby Stuart, entrepreneurship and innovation. Funding: The authors gratefully acknowledge funding from the Knowledge for Change Trust fund, as well as the funders and authors of the underlying surveys that are used. Supplemental Material: Data and the online appendix are available at https://doi.org.10.1287/ mnsc.2016.2492. Keywords: business practices * small enterprises * productivity * management, 1. Introduction Management has long been recognized to be an important determinant of firm productivity in large firms. There has been a recent surge in quantitative measures of management, with [...]

7. Key considerations in organizing and structuring university research

Author

Nguyen, T.L. Huong and Meek, Vincent Lynn

Subjects
Management techniques -- Evaluation, Management -- Evaluation, Universities and colleges -- Research, Organizational research -- Analysis, Company business management, Business, general, Business
Abstract

University research capacity building has now become an increasingly important task in both developed and less developed countries. In this capacity building endeavour, research late-developer universities in particular need to develop a sound research organizational structure. However, what elements are needed in organizing and structuring university research has rarely been discussed systematically. Applying Mintzberg's (1979) theory on the structuring of organizations, this study sheds light on the generic parameters of organizing and structuring research. Five of the more visible parameters consist of: (1) create research positions; (2) create research management positions; (3) decide primary organizational units for research delivery; (4) create a research office; and (5) create research oversight committees. The five less visible parameters are: (1) develop rules for research integrity; (2) develop rules and procedures for managing the lifecycle of a research project; (3) develop a mechanism for evaluating the quality of research outcomes; (4) prepare researchers and research managers for the necessary skills and knowledge; and (5) decide vertical and horizontal decentralization. We argue that institutions that pay close attention to these ten management and organisational tasks for creating an environment in which research can flourish are more likely to be successful in building and/or enhancing their overall research capacity than other institutions. Keywords: Organizing research; structuring research; research management; research administration; research leadership; research organizational structure, Introduction Once concentrated in the more developed countries, university research capacity building has now become an increasingly important task in both developed and less developed countries (Nguyen, 2013a). In particular, [...]
