Abstract

The Future of Business Survey is a new source of information on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Launched in February 2016, the monthly survey - a partnership between Facebook, OECD, and The World Bank - provides a timely pulse on the economic environment in which businesses operate and who those businesses are to help inform decision-making at all levels and to deliver insights that can help businesses grow. The Future of Business Survey provides a perspective from newer and long-standing digitalized businesses and provides a unique window into a new mobilized economy.

Policymakers, researchers and businesses share a common interest in the environment in which SMEs operate, as well their outlook on the future, not least because young and innovative SMEs in particular are often an important source of considerable economic and employment growth. Better insights and timely information about SMEs improve our understanding of economic trends, and can provide new insights that can further stimulate and help these businesses grow.

To help provide these insights, Facebook, OECD and The World Bank have collaborated to develop a monthly survey that attempts to improve our understanding of SMEs in a timely and forward-looking manner. The three organizations share a desire to create new ways to hear from businesses and help them succeed in the emerging digitally-connected economy. The shared goal is to help policymakers, researchers, and businesses better understand business sentiment, and to leverage a digital platform to provide a unique source of information to complement existing indicators.

With more businesses leveraging online tools each day, the survey provides a lens into a new mobilized, digital economy and, in particular, insights on the actors: a relatively unmeasured community worthy of deeper consideration and considerable policy interest.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

Twice a year in over 97 countries, the Facebook Survey Team sends the Future of Business to admins and owners of Facebook-designated small business pages. When we share data from this survey, we anonymize responses to all survey questions and only share country-level data publicly. To achieve better representation of the broader small business population, we also weight our results based on known characteristics of the Facebook Page admin population.

A random sample of firms, representing the target population in each country, is selected to respond to the Future of Business Survey each month.

Mode of data collection

Internet [int]

Research instrument

The survey includes questions about perceptions of current and future economic activity, challenges, business characteristics and strategy. Custom modules include questions related to regulation, access to finance, digital payments, and digital skills. The full questionnaire is available for download.

Response rate

Response rates to online surveys vary widely depending on a number of factors including survey length, region, strength of the relationship with invitees, incentive mechanisms, invite copy, interest of respondents in the topic and survey design.

Note: Response rates are calculated as the number of respondents who completed the survey divided by the total number of SMEs invited.

Sampling error estimates

Any survey data is prone to several forms of error and biases that need to be considered to understand how closely the results reflect the intended population. In particular, the following components of the total survey error are noteworthy:

Sampling error is a natural characteristic of every survey based on samples and reflects the uncertainty in any survey result that is attributable to the fact that not the whole population is surveyed.

Other factors beyond sampling error that contribute to such potential differences are frame or coverage error (sampling frame of page owners does not include all relevant businesses but also may include individuals that don't represent businesses), and nonresponse error.

Note that the sample is meant to reflect the population of businesses on Facebook, not the population of small businesses in general. This group of digitized SMEs is itself a community worthy of deeper consideration and of considerable policy interest. However, care should be taken when extrapolating to the population of SMEs in general. Moreover, future work should evaluate the external validity of the sample. Particularly, respondents should be compared to the broader population of SMEs on Facebook, and the economy as a whole.

The questionnaire was pretested by the target audience, as well as experts from the area of research interest. Additionally, steps were taken to translate the survey in order to reduce sensitivities to cultural response bias: - Respondents were given the option to respond to the survey in any of fifteen languages native to the countries in which it was conducted. - Translations were done only by native speakers, with two rounds of additional online checks in the context of the survey environment. - Translators were provided with context material for this survey (e.g., the Facebook for Business website) in order to understand the context of the survey. They were also instructed to take the English survey at least two times before starting with the translations. - Translations were discussed in a group in order to ensure a common understanding of questions and items. - The tone (formal vs. informal) of the survey was based on cultural conventions, e.g., Facebook usually uses an informal tone, while in cultures such as the Japanese this is very uncommon and thus a formal tone was used there.

The Future of Business survey is a collaboration between Facebook, the OECD and the World Bank to provide timely insights on the perceptions, challenges, and outlook of online Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The Future of Business survey was first launched as a monthly survey in 17 countries in February 2016 and expanded to 42 countries in 2018. In 2019, the Future of Business survey increased coverage to 97 countries and moved to a bi-annual cadence. Now the survey covers 101 countries and includes additional fields related to gender for example.

The target population consists of SMEs that have an active Facebook business Page and include both newer and longer-standing businesses, spanning across a variety of sectors. To date, more than 90 million SMEs have created a Facebook Page, and more than 700,000 of these Facebook Page owners have taken the survey. With more businesses leveraging online tools each day, the survey provides a lens into a new mobilized, digital economy and, in particular, insights on the actors: a relatively unmeasured community worthy of deeper consideration and considerable policy interest.

The survey includes questions about perceptions of current and future economic activity, challenges, business characteristics and strategy. Custom modules include questions related to regulation, access to finance, digital payments, and digital skills. The full questionnaire is available for download.

The English Business Survey (EBS) is commissioned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to provide a monthly assessment of business perceptions of current, past and expected economic and business conditions in each English region. A detailed understanding of businesses' perceptions and plans across England will inform the Government's economic growth and rebalancing agenda.

The sample for the EBS is drawn from the Inter-departmental Business Register (IDBR). The primary objective is to achieve a sample that is as close as possible to being proportionate to the employment distribution within England. The EBS is conducted at the level of the workplace (i.e. individual sites within an enterprise, such as a factory, shop or office) rather than at the level of the business or enterprise. The sample is therefore selected at this level as well. The sample of workplaces is selected from across all industry sectors, including public sector and not-for-profit organisations.

Further information on the EBS and monthly statistical releases derived from the survey can be found on the BIS English Business Survey website.

Linking to other business studies These data contain IDBR reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.

The majority of observations only contain IDBR plant identifiers (LUref). Therefore, it may not be possible to ascertain plants that belong to the same enterprise. Therefore, we recommend that users also apply for access to the Business Structure Database (SN 6697), which will allow users to link observations to their parent enterprises. The survey provides information on current business conditions compared with three months ago and expectations for three months ahead. The survey includes variables relating to:business characteristicsoutput, including domestic outputexportsstocksemployment and labour costscapitalinput and output pricescredit conditionsinvestment, including capital investmentbusiness performanceLocal Enterprise Partnerships (private sector only)

The Decision Maker Panel is a monthly online survey of business run by the Bank of England. It focusses on businesses’ expectations, uncertainty and topical policy issues. The survey receives around 2500 responses a month. Only firms with over 10 employees are included in the DMP sample frame. he Business Insights and Conditions Survey (BICS) collects information on the impact of challenges facing the economy and other events on approx. BICS is a voluntary fortnightly survey, where each wave of data covers a period of two weeks capturing business’ views on impact on turnover, workforce prices, trade and business resilience. Around 10,000 firms respond to each wave. BICS includes business of all sizes. The DMP and BICS surveys are both timely high frequency business surveys. They both cover similar topics, asking about business conditions and the impact of economic events such as the UK’s decision to leave the EU and the Covid-19 pandemic. But the precise questions tend not to be exactly the same. The DMP survey tends to ask more quantitative questions, but is a relatively short survey. The BICS questionnaire is longer and typically asks questions in a qualitative way. The matched dataset will allow users to combine information from both surveys to help better understand the conditions facing businesses and how they make decisions. The questions for both surveys can change from wave to wave, so comparison and routing of the questions needs to be monitored closely.

Abstract

Digitalization plays a vital role in the firms' performance. In order to assess the effect of digitalization on enterprises, reliable data is imperative, and the need to resort to a dynamic data collection tool at a time when countries in the region are in a state of flux cannot be overstated. The Economic Research Forum (ERF) led The Survey of Enterprises' Digitization to provide data for researchers and policy makers on the impact of digitalization on enterprises' performance. The Survey of Enterprises' Digitization is conducted over two phases in each of the following countries: Jordan, Morocco, and Egypt. The survey covers access to, usage of, and affordability of internet, and/or mobile services, online payments, access to e-commerce platform, measures of transport infrastructure (e.g. road density, logistic performance), measures of human capital (e.g. share of skilled labor or education level of workers), and other key regional characteristics (e.g. population density, income level, urbanization rate...). The main questions to be answered through this survey are: What are the effects of the affordability of high-speed internet and online payment on firm-level productivity and employment? How does the impact of digitalization vary across characterized firms and across the counties of study? The Survey of Enterprises' Digitization is a wide-ranging, nationally representative cross-sectional survey for each country. The collection of this dataset began in April 2022 and phase two was completed in August 2022, and was harmonized by the Economic Research Forum (ERF). The harmonization was designed to create comparable data that can facilitate cross-country and comparative research between three Arab countries (Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan). All The Survey of Enterprises' Digitization in MENA region surveys incorporate similar survey designs, with data on enterprises within Arab countries (Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco).

Sampling procedure

Samples were designed to represent E-firms and non-E-firms. E-firms were defined as businesses that used the internet during the last month before the interview date to conduct transactions, such as buying and/or selling of goods or services. Samples were designed to complete 250 interviews with E-firms and 500 interviews with non-E-firms. Since no data were available about the proportion of E-firms in any of the study countries, a two-phase sampling design were used. Data from the first phase was used to guide the sampling procedures in the second phase to achieve the target sample size, especially for E-firms.

For Egypt: a systematic sample of 9,087 businesses were selected in Phase 1. To align the sample distribution across business sectors with the distribution in the frame distribution, the selection was done after sorting the frame according to the business sectors. The sample of Phase 1 composed of two samples: main sample of 5,066 businesses and a supplement sample of 4,021 businesses. Businesses with website available on Yellow Pages (YP) were oversampled to increase the chance of finding E-firms. This has been accounted for during the weight calculation to retrieve the actual distribution in YP frame. In Phase 2, a systematic sample of 18,901 businesses were selected from businesses with website available on Yellow Pages.

For Jordan: a stratified sample of 3,134 businesses were selected in Phase 1. The sample was stratified according to 17 business sectors. The sample was selected in two stages; in the first stage, 316 pages were selected from the Kinz website, where the selected pages were proportionally distributed to the distribution of all pages by business sector. In the second stage, all businesses in selected pages were contacted. In average, there are 10 businesses per page. In Phase 2, a stratified sample of 3,160 businesses were selected using the same approach used in Phase 1.

For Morocco: a stratified sample of 9,099 businesses were selected in Phase 1. The sample was stratified according to three main geographic regions of Morocco, Casa-Rabat, North, and South. The sample of Phase 1 composed of two samples: main sample of 4,388 businesses and a supplement sample of 4,711 businesses. In the two samples, 158 pages were selected for each sample, and 28-30 businesses were contacted from each page. In Phase 2, a stratified sample of 25,120 businesses were selected in two stages, where 314 pages were selected in the first stage, and about 80 businesses were contacted per each selected page.

During a 2024 survey among marketers worldwide, around 86 percent reported using Facebook for marketing purposes. Instagram and LinkedIn followed, respectively mentioned by 79 and 65 percent of the respondents.

              The global social media marketing segment

              According to the same study, 59 percent of responding marketers intended to increase their organic use of YouTube for marketing purposes throughout that year. LinkedIn and Instagram followed with similar shares, rounding up the top three social media platforms attracting a planned growth in organic use among global marketers in 2024. Their main driver is increasing brand exposure and traffic, which led the ranking of benefits of social media marketing worldwide.

              Social media for B2B marketing

              Social media platform adoption rates among business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) marketers vary according to each subsegment's focus. While B2C professionals prioritize Facebook and Instagram – both run by Meta, Inc. – due to their popularity among online audiences, B2B marketers concentrate their endeavors on Microsoft-owned LinkedIn due to its goal to connect people and companies in a corporate context.

As of January 2024, Instagram was slightly more popular with men than women, with men accounting for 50.6 percent of the platform’s global users. Additionally, the social media app was most popular amongst younger audiences, with almost 32 percent of users aged between 18 and 24 years.

              Instagram’s Global Audience

              As of January 2024, Instagram was the fourth most popular social media platform globally, reaching two billion monthly active users (MAU). This number is projected to keep growing with no signs of slowing down, which is not a surprise as the global online social penetration rate across all regions is constantly increasing.
              As of January 2024, the country with the largest Instagram audience was India with 362.9 million users, followed by the United States with 169.7 million users.

              Who is winning over the generations?

              Even though Instagram’s audience is almost twice the size of TikTok’s on a global scale, TikTok has shown itself to be a fierce competitor, particularly amongst younger audiences. TikTok was the most downloaded mobile app globally in 2022, generating 672 million downloads. As of 2022, Generation Z in the United States spent more time on TikTok than on Instagram monthly.
