Abstract: (5 Views) |
The aim of this study is to design a public policy formulation model for preparing the business environment to achieve a production surge, using a grounded theory approach. In terms of purpose, the research is fundamental, and in terms of approach, it is qualitative. The model is developed based on grounded theory. The research data were collected through open-ended interviews with managers actively involved in the Cabinet, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted through a coding process consisting of three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding.
In the first stage (open coding), components were extracted based on the data obtained from in-depth interviews, followed by their processing and categorization. In the second stage (axial coding), axial coding was carried out according to the paradigm model in order to design and institutionalize a public policy formulation model aimed at preparing the business environment. The relevant indicators and influencing factors were categorized as follows: higher-level concepts were considered as categories, while lower-level concepts were treated as subcategories. The manner in which subcategories are described forms the categories.
The open codes identified through the interviews included 57 indicators, which, based on semantic proximity and conceptual affinity, were classified into 86 axial codes and 16 selective codes. The identified causal conditions included preparation of the business environment, licensing procedures, labor productivity, access to facilities, and the establishment and dissolution of business activities. Contextual conditions included labor market regulations and unbalanced economic development. Intervening conditions comprised support for small - and large - scale investors and ease of tax payment. The strategies identified included labor hiring and firing indices, reduction of economic fragility, access to credit and facilities, and enforceability of contracts. The outcomes identified were sustained economic growth, government effectiveness, and cross-border trade.
