The Importance of Financing Methods in Economic Enterprises A Case Study of the Skikda Port Enterprise

Résumé

This study aims to highlight the importance of financing methods in economic institutions through a case study of the Skikda Port Authority. The research adopts a descriptive approach combined with a case study methodology. To achieve the study’s objectives, a stratified random sample of 30 employees from the finance and accounting department was selected, and a questionnaire was distributed to them. The collected data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS₂₂), employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings indicate that the Skikda Port Authority relies heavily on internal financing, while leasing and external financing are used at moderate levels. The study recommends enhancing knowledge and expertise in applying internal financing determinants, as the institution primarily depends on this funding method.
