Microcredit and multidimensional poverty in algeria does gender matter? case study: national agency for management of credit department of boumerdes
(Management and Entrepreneurship: Trends of Development, 2022-06-20) Hadefi, Abdelkrim Zoheir; Bouchetara, Mehdi (ENSM); Zerouti, Messaoud (ENSM)
This article attempts to assess the impact of microcredit on the economic well-being and implicitly the degree of multidimensional poverty of women in Algeria. Based on data from a survey of 228 microcredit recipients in the department of Boumerdes in Algeria. The study showed that participation in microfinance services provided by the national agency for management of microcredit (ANGEM) could be a tool for women to acquire the capacity to make strategic choices concerning their lives. By having access to microfinance services, women can set up their own businesses and consequently improve their status within the household and in their communities. Only 26 women participated in the survey. Using the Mann Whitney U test, the results show a significant difference between the impacts generated by microcredit on both genders based on the asset ownership index where female beneficiaries feel more impacted than male members do. These results call for further questions. ANGEM is not Micro-Finance Institution (MFI) like the others. It is a public agency.
Internal determinants of profitability in public Algerian banks
(Journal of Financial Studies, 2023-06) Ameur, Imane; Zerouti, Messaoud (ENSM); Bouchetara, Mehdi (ENSM)
This research attempts to identify the internal factors that determine public banks’ profitability in Algeria, by investigating the effect of each one of them on profitability over the period 2011 – 2019, using the system-generalized method of moments. The findings indicate that the bank-specific determinants, with the exception of capitalization and leverage, are positively related to bank performance. These results have important implications for banks’ survival and growth. It is expected that this study will guide the policy makers and bank management in the formulation and implementation of better policies and strategies which may lead to better performance of banks in Algeria.
Impact of venture capital financing on startup innovation in algeria. case: Algerian startup fund
(Ekonomika Management Inovace, 2023-07) Morsli, Khadidja; Bouchetara, Mehdi; Belali, Mounir
This paper aims to study the impact of venture capital financing on startup innovation in Algeria, and more specifically the venture capital firm Algerian Startup Fund spa (ASF spa). To do so, we adopted a quantitative research approach, using a sample of 32 startups associated with ASF. We applied Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS software. The results show that there is a strong positive significant relationship between venture capital funding and the profitability of innovative projects. In addition, a positive but weak correlation between increasing venture capital funding and the number of intellectual property filings. We also found an inverse negative relationship between venture capital financing and research and development costs. Therefore, venture capital has a role in innovation promotion for startups in Algeria.
Crowdfunding: study of the viability of a new method of financing small and medium enterprises in Algeria
(Valahian Journal of Economic Studies, 2023) Zouambi, Anaïs Radja; Bouchetara, Mehdi (ENSM) ; Zerouti, Messaoud (ENSM)
Our study aims to understand the current failure of crowdfunding in Algeria, we conducted a two-step study. First, we extracted from the literature the various factors that contribute to the success of this funding process and those that hinder it. We specified the influence of these factors in the Algerian context. In the second step, we surveyed a group of persons that follow a double-skill management degree in entrepreneurship and project management to know their opinion about crowdfunding. The results show that the surveyed were significantly unaware of crowdfunding, ie, 64% of our sample with a p-value> 0.05 (p= 0.151); as for their view of the current failure of crowdfunding, 51.5% feel that it is due to a lack of information. 29.7% think is due to a lack of trust. 8.9% think there are few investors; others put it down to a lack of ideas, ie, 7.9% of those questioned, and 2% think it is for other reasons. 58% of the subjects see themselves as project holders, only 8.9% are ready to be funders, and 3.26% think they could be both. The results clearly show a statistical bias towards being more of a project holder than a funder (with a p-value of 0.48). On that account, Algeria could be a favorable ground for Crowdfunding if more people were more informed about this process and more funders were available.
Enhancing the golden triangle (cost, time, quality) in infrastructure projects through risk management: a case study of the algiers metro project
(Journal of Corporate Governance, Insurance, and Risk Management, 2024-12) Mohammedi, Imene; Belimane, Wissam; Bouchetara, Mehdi
The Golden Triangle consisting of cost, time and quality serves as a fundamental framework for assessing the success of infrastructure projects. Effective risk management is critical for optimising these interconnected dimensions by proactively identifying potential threats implementing risk mitigation strategies and ensuring project control. This study investigates the application of the international standard ISO 31000: 2018 in enhancing the Golden Triangle’s dimensions—time management, cost optimization and quality assurance—within the context of large-scale infrastructure projects. A qualitative research methodology was employed incorporating semi-structured interviews, document analysis and site observations to collect comprehensive data. Analytical techniques such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Bow-Tie analysis and Fishbone diagrams were utilised to prioritise risks, examine preventive measures and identify underlying causes. A total of forty-three (43) critical risks were identified as having significant impacts on the performance of the Algiers Metro project. The findings revealed that the implementation of a structured risk management approach improved adherence to project timelines, optimised cost control and ensured the delivery of quality outcomes. The integration of ISO 31000: 2018 principles in conjunction with tailored analytical tools was found to add considerable value providing practical insights for improving infrastructure project performance. This work underscores the importance of systematic risk management and its role in enhancing the efficiency and success of large infrastructure projects.
