The Effect of Management Policies on Plant‐Level Productivity: A Longitudinal Study of Three U.S. and Mexican Small Businesses
通过计量经济学估计三家劳动密集型小企业的生产函数，发现工作专业化、资产维护和技术政策以及组织结构变化是影响生产率的关键管理因素，且生产率与企业整体盈利能力显著相关。
To determine the influence of various management policies on productivity, various production functions of three small firms in labor-intensive, production-oriented industries are estimated econometrically and compared. Results from modified Cobb–Douglas functions indicate that the most important management-influenced factors are those related to job specialization, asset maintenance and technology policies, and changes in organizational structure. In addition, the results indicate that productivity is significantly related to a firm's overall profitability.
