THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE COMPONENTS OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE FIRM: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISES IN TUNISIA

Abstract

This research work aims to study the management of the firm by a systemic approach. The conceptual part was dedicated to the analysis of the mutual influences between the components of the management system selected: the ethics, the mode of functioning and the procedure of regulation (Azib and Frioui, 2012). The empirical results have validated the existence of interactions between these components and revealed the importance of procedure of regulation in determining the ethics and the mode of functioning in the private sector in Tunisia; while ethics is the component that exerts the most important influence on the mode of functioning and the procedure of regulation in Tunisian public organizations

Keywords

• Management system, Ethics, Mode of functioning, Procedure of regulation, Public sector, Private sector
