Main Article Content
Abstract
Managerial efficiency has become a decisive factor in the growth and sustainability of both industries and entrepreneurial ventures. It encompasses the ability of managers to optimize resources, streamline processes, foster innovation, and make strategic decisions under uncertainty. This article explores managerial efficiency in the context of industry and entrepreneurship, supported by both conceptual review and statistical evidence. The study uses synthetic firm-level data (n = 60) to examine the relationship between managerial efficiency, productivity, and return on investment (ROI). Results indicate that managerial efficiency significantly enhances productivity and ROI, with notable differences between start-ups and established industries. The findings highlight managerial efficiency as a critical determinant of competitiveness, innovation, and sustainable economic growth.
