This report provides a basic set aggregate descriptive data at the country-level collected through the World Management Survey waves, including management practices, work-life balance practices, human capital, decentralization and available infrastructure in medium- and large-sized firms in Africa, Asia, and Latin American developing countries. It also describes the data collection process in great detail. As the database becomes increasingly used by researchers, we hope this report can serve as an “expanded methodology and data manual” for the WMS, where we not only detail the data collection process but also include an Appendix on the construction of the sampling frames. This is particularly important for countries and sectors where we could not find a publicly available list, so we note the challenges of data collection in these countries and how we approached the solutions to these challenges.

In this article, we set out to explore the dependencies between levels of structured management practices and productivity at the enterprise level. Our results confirm that management practice scores are most closely associated with the size of a business in terms of employment. Management practice scores tend to increase as employment increases and this association is stronger among smaller enterprises. We also find a positive correlation between management practice scores and productivity when we analyse this relationship across industry groups. Consequently, multinationals, large businesses (employment of 250 and over) and non-family-owned businesses have higher management scores and outperform domestic, smaller and family-owned businesses in terms of productivity. Our analysis shows that on a scale of 0 to 1, a 0.10 increase in management practice score is associated with a 6.7% rise in productivity5. This controls for business size, industry grouping, family ownership status, multinational status and business age. The distribution of management scores shows a 0.13 difference between the median and the 75th percentile, which translates into a difference in productivity of 8.7%.
