摘要

本文旨在研究管理实践对埃及制造企业的粗放型和集约型出口利润率的影响。研究依赖于 2020/2021 年埃及工业企业行为调查(EIFBS),该调查包括 2383 家制造企业,分别代表埃及不同地区的小型、中型和大型企业:该调查包括 2383 家制造企业,分别代表埃及不同地区的小型、中型和大型企业:城市省、下埃及省和上埃及省。研究为每家企业构建了一个总体管理 z 分数,利用普通最小二乘法(OLS)回归估算其对企业出口概率和出口额的影响。研究结果表明,良好的管理与企业较高的出口概率以及出口条件下较高的出口收入相关,与国内销售水平的控制相关。这些影响并不因企业所有权或行业类型而异,而是因企业规模而异,管理能力提高了大型企业出口的概率。此外,良好的管理与更高的企业生产率、创新和工人培训倾向相关,这证明管理既能提高效率,也能提高质量。此外,监督和目标定位实践对两个边际都有显著的积极影响,而激励机制只对广义边际有显著影响。在政策方面,政府应创造一个对国内外企业都开放的竞争性市场环境,以激励企业采用更好的管理方法。 原创性/价值 本文首次探讨了中东和北非国家(埃及)的企业管理方法与出口结果之间的联系。它利用了一项最新调查,即 2020/2021 年埃及工业企业行为调查(EIFBS)。研究结果揭示了不同管理要素(监控、目标定位和激励机制)在推动制造业企业出口绩效方面的重要性。

The impact of management practices on export margins of firms: evidence from a recent Egyptian industrial survey

Purpose

The paper aims at studying the effect of management practices on the extensive and intensive export margins of Egyptian manufacturing firms.

Design/methodology/approach

The study relies on the 2020/2021 Egyptian Industrial Firm Behavior Survey (EIFBS) which comprises 2,383 manufacturing firms representing small, medium, and large sized firms located in different regions of Egypt: Urban Governorates, Lower Egypt, and Upper Egypt. It constructs an overall management z score for each firm to estimate its effect on a firm’s probability of exporting and value of exports using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions.

Findings

Results indicate that good management is associated with a higher probability of firm exporting as well as higher export revenues conditional on exporting, robust to controlling for the level of domestic sales. These effects do not differ by firm ownership or type of sector, but rather by firm size, with managerial competence raising the probability of exporting more for large-sized firms. Additionally, good management is associated with higher firm productivity, innovation and worker training propensities which gives evidence that it is both an efficiency and a quality enhancer. Moreover, monitoring and targeting practices have significant positive effects on both margins, while incentives are only significant for the extensive margin.

Practical implications

Firms that aim at enhancing their export prospects and revenues should devote resources to review and upgrade their management systems to boost their product quality and production efficiency. Policy-wise, the government should create a competitive market environment that is open to both domestic and foreign firms’ entry to stimulate the adoption of better management practices.

Originality/value

The paper is the first to explore the link between firm management practices and export outcomes for a MENA country (Egypt). It makes use of a recent survey, the 2020/2021 Egyptian Industrial Firm Behavior Survey (EIFBS). The findings shed light on the importance of different management components (monitoring, targeting and incentives) in driving a manufacturing firm’s export performance.
