Share this page:

The Management, Organisation and Innovation (MOI) Survey assesses management practices in 1,800 manufacturing establishments with between 50 and 5000 employees in 10 transition countries (Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) as well as Germany and India. The survey was implemented in partnership with the World Bank from October 2008 to November 2009, in conjunction with BEEPS IV. It is based on the work of Nick Bloom and John Van Reenen.

The MOI survey dataset

Background

The EBRD implemented the Management, Organisation and Innovation (MOI) Survey in partnership with the World Bank from October 2008 to November 2009, in conjunction with BEEPS IV. The MOI survey is based on the work of Nick Bloom and John Van Reenen. The objective of this survey is to measure and compare management practices across countries, to assess the constraints to private sector growth and enterprise performance resulting from management practices and to stimulate policy dialogue on the management practices and innovation.

Almost 1,800 manufacturing establishments with between 50 and 5000 employees were interviewed in 10 transition countries (Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan), Germany and India. The sampling frame was based on Bureau Van Dijk’s Orbis database when available.

Even though the MOI survey was run in conjunction with BEEPS IV, selected establishments participated in only one of these two surveys, that is, either BEEPS IV or MOI survey, but not both.

The survey was targeted at factory, production or operations managers, who are close to day-to-day operations of the firm, but are at the same time senior enough to have an overview of management practices. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in the manager’s native language by interviewers employed by the market research companies hired to implement the MOI survey.

The sampling frame was based on Bureau Van Dijk’s Orbis database when available. Even though the MOI survey was run in conjunction with BEEPS IV, selected establishments participated in only one of these two surveys, that is, either BEEPS IV or MOI survey, but not both.
