摘要

目的研究性别对企业绩效各个方面的影响已经获得了研究和政策的支持,尽管经验证据仍然不确定。本文旨在关注一种类型的企业,即非正规企业和企业绩效的一个维度,即产品创新,以便更好地了解产品创新如何影响女性和男性拥有的非正规企业的就业。设计/方法/方法本文依赖于位于加纳两个城市中心(阿克拉和特马)的513家非正规企业的独特数据集,涵盖2013年至2015年期间,并使用剂量-反应模型来检查产品创新对加纳城市非正规企业就业的影响。研究结果表明,产品创新对非正规企业的就业创造具有相当大的有益影响。研究结果显示,女性企业与男性企业的产品创新影响因素没有系统性差异。然而,他们认为,尽管女性拥有的企业不太可能引入产品创新,但她们确实销售了更多的创新产品。原创性/价值这些发现支持了创新是“性别化”的观点,因此,需要一个“性别化”的政策视角。

Innovation and the performance of informal enterprises in developing countries: a gender perspective
Purpose Examining the impact of gender on various aspects of business performance has gained research and policy traction, although the empirical evidence remains inconclusive. This paper aims to focus on one type of business, namely, informal enterprises and one dimension of business performance, namely, product innovation, to better understand how product innovations affect employment in both female- and male-owned informal enterprises. Design/methodology/approach This paper relies on a unique data set of 513 informal enterprises located in two urban centres in Ghana (Accra and Tema), covering the period between 2013 and 2015 and the Dose-Response Model to examine the effect of product innovations on employment in informal enterprises in urban Ghana. Findings The findings suggest that product innovation has considerable beneficial impacts on the creation of employment in informal enterprises. The results do not show systematic differences in the factors affecting product innovation in female- and male-owned enterprises. However, they suggest that although female-owned enterprises are less likely to introduce product innovations, they do sell more innovative products. Originality/value These findings support the view that innovation is “gendered”, and therefore, requires a “gendered” policy lens.
