Management, Organization and Innovation Survey 2009 - Ukraine

Abstract
---------------------------

The study was conducted in Ukraine between October 2008 and January 2009 as part of the first round of The Management, Organization and Innovation Survey. Data from 147 manufacturing companies with 50 to 5,000 full-time employees was analyzed.

The survey topics include detailed information about a company and its management practices - production performance indicators, production target, ways employees are promoted/dealt with when underperforming. The study also focuses on organizational matters, innovation, spending on research and development, production outsourcing to other countries, competition, and workforce composition.

Geographic coverage

National

Analysis unit
---------------------------

The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment is defined as a separate production unit, regardless of whether or not it has its own financial statements separate from those of the firm, and whether it has it own management and control over payroll. So the bottling plant of a brewery would be counted as an establishment.

Universe
---------------------------

The survey universe was defined as manufacturing establishments with at least fifty, but less than 5,000, full-time employees.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

Random sampling was used in the study. For all MOI countries, except Russia, there was a requirement that all regions must be covered and that the percentage of the sample in each region was required to be equal to at least one half of the percentage of the sample frame population in each region.

In most countries the sample frame used was an extract from the Orbis database of Bureau van Dijk, which was provided to the Consultant by the EBRD. The sample frame contained details of company names, location, company size (number of employees), company performance measures and contact details. The sample frame downloaded from Orbis was cleaned by the EBRD through the addition of regional variables, updating addresses and phone numbers of companies.

Examination of the Orbis sample frames showed their geographic distributions to be wide with many locations, a large number of which had only a small number of records. Each establishment was selected with two substitutes that can be used if it proves impossible to conduct an interview at the first establishment. In practice selection was confined to locations with the most records in the sample frame, so the sample frame was filtered to just the cities with the most establishments.

The quality of the frame was assessed at the onset of the project. The frame proved to be useful though it showed positive rates of non-eligibility, repetition, non-existent units, etc. These problems are typical of establishment surveys. For Ukraine, the percentage of confirmed non-eligible units as a proportion of the total number of contacts to complete the survey was 18.5% (98 out of 530 establishments).

Mode of data collection
---------------------------

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument
---------------------------

Two different versions of the questionnaire were used. Questionnaire A was used when interviewing establishments that are part of multiestablishment firms, while Questionnaire B was used when interviewing single-establishment firms. Questionnaire A incorporates all questions from Questionnaire B, the only difference is in the reference point, which is the so-called national firm in the first part of Questionnaire A and firm in Questionnaire B. Second part of the questionnaire refers to the interviewed establishment only in both Questionnaire A and Questionnaire B. Each variation of the questionnaire is identified by the index variable, a0.

Response rate
---------------------------

Item non-response was addressed by two strategies:
- For sensitive questions that may generate negative reactions from the respondent, such as ownership information, enumerators were instructed to collect the refusal to respond as (-8).
- Establishments with incomplete information were re-contacted in order to complete this information, whenever necessary. However, there were clear cases of low response.

Survey non-response was addressed by maximising efforts to contact establishments that were initially selected for interviews. Up to 15 attempts (but at least 4 attempts) were made to contact an establishment for interview at different times/days of the week before a replacement establishment (with similar characteristics) was suggested for interview. Survey non-response did occur, but substitutions were made in order to potentially achieve the goals.

摘要
---------------------------
本研究于2008年10月至2009年1月在乌克兰进行，作为《管理、组织与创新调查》首轮调查的一部分。对拥有50至5,000名全职员工的147家制造企业的数据进行分析。
调查主题包括关于公司及其管理实践的详细信息——生产绩效指标、生产目标、员工在表现不佳时的晋升或处理方式。研究还关注组织事项、创新、研发支出、向其他国家外包生产、竞争和劳动力构成。
地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
全国
分析单元
---------------------------
本研究的主要抽样单元为实体。实体是指开展商业活动和工业运营或提供服务的地方。一家公司可能由一个或多个实体组成。例如，啤酒厂可能拥有多个灌装厂和多个分销实体。在本调查中，实体被定义为独立的生产单元，无论其是否拥有与公司财务报表分开的财务报表，以及是否拥有对工资单的管理和控制权。因此，啤酒厂的灌装厂将被计为一个实体。
总体
---------------------------
调查总体被定义为拥有至少五十名、但少于5,000名全职员工的制造实体。
数据类型
---------------------------
样本调查数据 [ssd]
抽样程序
---------------------------
本研究采用了随机抽样。对于除俄罗斯以外的所有MOI国家，必须要求覆盖所有地区，并且每个地区的样本比例必须至少等于每个地区样本框人口比例的一半。
在大多数国家，使用的样本框是从Bureau van Dijk的Orbis数据库中提取的记录，由EBRD提供给顾问。样本框包含了公司名称、位置、公司规模（员工人数）、公司绩效指标和联系详情。从Orbis下载的样本框由EBRD通过添加区域变量、更新公司地址和电话号码进行清洗。
对Orbis样本框的审查显示，其地理分布广泛，有许多地点，其中许多地点的记录数量很少。每个实体都选择了两个替代品，在无法在第一个实体进行访谈时可以使用。实际上，选择仅限于样本框中记录最多的地点，因此样本框被过滤为仅包含拥有最多实体的城市。
在项目开始时对框架的质量进行了评估。虽然框架显示存在非合格单位的比例较高，但证明其是有用的。这些问题是实体调查的典型问题。对于乌克兰，已确认的非合格单位比例占总联系数量的18.5%（530家实体中的98家）。
数据收集方式
---------------------------
面对面 [f2f]
研究工具
---------------------------
使用了两种不同的问卷版本。问卷A用于访谈属于多实体公司的实体，而问卷B用于访谈单一实体公司。问卷A包含了问卷B的所有问题，唯一的区别在于参考点，即问卷A的第一部分所提到的所谓国家公司，而问卷B中提到的则是公司。问卷的第二部分在问卷A和问卷B中都仅指被访谈的实体。每种问卷变体的标识由索引变量a0确定。
响应率
---------------------------
针对项目非响应采取了两种策略：
- 对于可能引起受访者负面反应的敏感问题，例如所有权信息，指导调查员将拒绝回答记录为(-8)。
- 在必要时，与信息不完整的实体重新联系以完成这些信息。然而，存在明显的低响应案例。
针对调查非响应，通过最大限度地接触最初选定的访谈实体来解决。在建议替换实体（具有相似特征）进行访谈之前，对实体进行了最多15次（但至少4次）的尝试，在周的不同时间/日期进行联系。尽管存在调查非响应，但进行了替换，以可能实现目标。
