Effect of Firm Characteristics on Sources of Supply and Demand Risks: An Empirical Investigation on Moroccan Industrial Firms

Abstract:

Because of the differences between industries and firms, the following work aims to perform an empirical analysis to investigate the relationship between firm characteristics and the sources of demand and supply risks. The survey is conducted among 32 factories in Moroccan industry from different sectors. In order to distinguish companies with a high level of risk, factories are grouped according to their characteristics, namely the business sector, the number of suppliers, the level of performance and the number of employees. To ensure the objective of our study, we performed a factorial correspondence analysis of the data using SPSS software.
