The impact of size on small and medium-sized enterprise public sector tendering
研究了企业规模（以员工数衡量）如何影响中小企业的投标资源、行为及成功率，发现微型企业资源不足、投标频率和成功率均低于中小型企业。
This article examines the relationship between firm size and public sector tendering. The findings show that size, measured by employee number, significantly influences small and medium sized enterprises’ (SMEs) tendering resources, behaviour and success; as such, micro-enterprises are resource-disadvantaged, tender less often and have lower success rates compared to small and medium-sized firms. These findings indicate that SMEs are heterogeneous tenderers, and point to the need for more focused research on how SME characteristics influence ability and willingness to tender.
