Innovation in SMEs as a Driver of Sustainable Economic Growth in Algeria: An Econometric Study for the Period 1999-2022
Öz
Purpose – Innovation has become a pivotal concern for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as it plays a fundamental role in ensuring their survival and supporting their sustainable growth. This study aims to examine the impact of promoting and supporting innovation within SMEs on economic growth in Algeria during the period from 1999 to 2022. The overarching goal is to contribute to enhancing the added value of national economic output.
Design/methodology/approach – To achieve the study's objectives, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was employed as the main methodology. This econometric model was selected because it analyzes the dynamic relationship between innovation and SME development over time, utilizing a standard time-series data set covering key economic indicators related to innovation and enterprise growth.
Findings – The empirical findings of the study revealed a statistically significant and positive long-term relationship between the innovation index and the growth of SMEs. The analysis confirmed that supporting innovation positively influences the development of SMEs and enhances their contribution to economic performance.
Originality/value – This study provides original empirical evidence on the strategic importance of innovation for SMEs in a developing economy context. Unlike previous studies, it focuses specifically on Algeria over a substantial time frame and highlights the necessity of adopting innovation as a strategic priority to foster sustainable economic growth and long-term value creation.
