The Impact of Public Procurement Systems on the Growth of Emerging Businesses - A Study of Companies Operating in M'sila Area

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the Algerian public procurement system and the growth of Emerging Businesses activities in some companies operating in the M'Sila region. To achieve this objective, the descriptive approach was adopted, in addition to using a validated questionnaire to survey the opinions of a sample of 51 founding owners and managers responsible for emerging businesses in these companies under study. Ultimately, the research results showed that there are practical interactions with the public procurement system by the studied companies, particularly within their sales and service contracts. The transactions appeared in obtaining administrative facilitations, benefiting from competitive favouritisation, activating participation mechanisms, and quota margins. These transactions had a proven impact on the growth of turnover, increased added value, expansion of commercial activity, and development of production factors in these companies included in the study in M'Sila.
