| Summary: | Purpose: This study attempts to contribute to a better understanding of the main constraints/ boosters for MSME growth in selected countries of the MENA region (Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and Jordan).
Design/Methodology/Approach: A multinomial logit model is used to investigate the impact of a three-fold classification of firm growth determinants (company characteristics, manager characteristics and business environment characteristics). The database is provided by the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (MENA ES).
Findings: Results give statistically robust evidence that innovative firms are more likely to grow.
Implications/Originality/Value: Therefore, the implementation of efficient and well-governed systems of innovation is a priority in the MENA region.
