“…In the case of R&D, the results show that exit probability for innovative firms reduces by 57 per cent. These results, as the authors point out, are in line with the works by Audretsch (1995) and by Kimura and Fujii (2003).…”

“…In Table 4 we investigate the determinants of plant closure using a probit regression. In so doing we build on prior evidence for Japanese manufacturing found in Kimura and Fujii (2003) and Kimura and Kiyota (2006), which we extend to consider the role of firm and industry import penetration, the multinational status of the firm and industry sunk costs. We group the dependent variables into plant, firm and industry level determinants of exit.…”

“…They argue that during the 1996/7 financial crisis this link broke down such that firms with relatively low productivity survived at the expense of those with higher productivity. Kimura and Fujii (2003) argue instead that excess plant closure during the 1990s reflected the reversal of the rapid expansion into new products and markets by Japanese firms during the 1980s.…”

Myriad hypotheses have been advanced to explain the dismal performance of the post-1990 Japanese economy. In this paper we use plant and firm data to investigate the issue. The low rate of productivity growth in Japan is also often seen as a product of Japanese MNEs offshoring production and shutting plants that are relative to others in their industry, high productivity. We find that this is true, plants shut by MNEs are relatively more productive than the industry average, but they are generally weaker elements of the MNE more generally. This behaviour is also not distinct to MNEs. Our analysis suggests that the rate of productivity growth within firms is also partly a consequence of low entry and exit rates. Generally we find that the determinants of productivity change are similar to those found for other countries, but that productivity improvement is lower in industries in which globalisation is higher. The low rate of entry and exit in Japan therefore means that this affects more firms than would otherwise have been the case.

“…They show that companies investing in R&D department increase the probability of staying on the market. Kimura and Fujii (2003) present research carried out in Japanese companies that have shown a positive influence of investing in advertising on business survivability and its success on the market. These results were also confirmed by Esteve-Pérez and Mañez-Castillejo (2008) who found a relationship between survival and activity in the area of promotion, as well as research and development.…”

Purpose-The goal of this article was to define the concept of business survivability on the basis of a review of subject literature, as well as to identify the main determinants influencing the survivability of micro and small businesses based on an analysis of empirical studies that most often included a five-year observation of an enterprise-from the moment of its establishment, until it was deregistered, or the observation period was over. Design/Methodology/Approach-The author utilises a review of Polish and foreign subject literature, as well as secondary research regarding the survivability of micro and small businesses in the 20 th and 21 st centuries. Findings-The results suggest significant differences in business survivability depending on the country of origin of a given enterprise. The factors determining business survivability were divided into micro and macroeconomic, and their presence is vital for the company to persevere in turbulent market conditions. Originality/Value-This article is a compilation of definitions of business survivability across foreign and Polish studies of micro and small businesses after 2000. The paper compares the results of business survivability in Poland and western countries.
