Chapter II :
Analyze secondary data
In this chapter, we are interested in the checking of the
validity of our assumptions of research which we will test on our already
selected population.
To achieve our goal one will use three methods ; analysis
of the frequencies, factorial analysis and analysis of Khi two.
Section 1 :
Analyze frequencies
The analysis will relate to the list provided by the API one,
we carry out an analysis of the frequencies of the variables : rate of
participation, nationality, capital of the company, numbers employees and years
of presence.
1-rate of foreign participation

One notices according to this graph that 27.5% of the total of
the companies with foreign participation and partially exporters exert a level
of very high control, 23.7% of the companies have a level of more or less
raised control, 23% exert a level of control realizing low whereas 25.8% of the
companies have a level of very low control (less than 25%) (see appendix
n°3).
2-nationality

Our population is made up of five categories of group of
country according to their frequencies ;
One can notice that France at the highest frequency with
39.9%. This strong presence on our territory can be explained by the very old
bonds between the two countries and the bringing together in term of culture
and geographical distance.
In second plan, one finds Italy with 25.1% whose majority of
these companies are in the sector of textile and of leather, Switzerland and
the category «others» which includes/understands Spain, the USA,
Germany, Belgium... hold almost the same share on the Tunisian market with
respectively 8.6% and 8.2%. Finally the Arab countries occupy a good place in
the investments in Tunisia with 18.2% (see appendix n°3).
3-capital of the company

The variable « capital of the company » is
divided into five intervals, the majority of the companies have a capital
higher than 700000DT what shows the presence of the companies of big sizes in
Tunisia (54.3%), the companies which have a capital between 50000 and 150000DT
and 150000 and 400000DT account for 15.8% and 16.2% respectively, and finally
those of which the capital lower than 50000 DT (6.5%) and between 400000 and
700000DT (7.2%) represent the least significant part (see appendix
n°3).
4-number of employees

One can notice dice the beginning that the companies belonging
to our population were used to create a very significant number of stations as
employment considering the number of these companies and the share of those of
big sizes among them.
It should be noted that 35.1% of the companies engage more
than 80 employees what returns to the size of the company and in second
position 28.5% of the companies employ only less than 20 employees what does
not neglect the importance of small and medium-sized companies in Tunisia. The
third place is reserved for those which offer between 20 and 40 working
stations (18.9%), then 12.7% engaging between 40 and 60 employment and in last
position a small share of the companies is those which between 60 and 80 paid
(4.8%) (see appendix n°3).
5-years of presence

The variable « Years of presence »
reflects the experiment of the company in the field of the investments. The
companies of our study are in all the intervals in a way nonproportional.
The companies having least experience (less than 5 years of
presence on the Tunisian market) occupy the great place with 30.9%, then those
pertaining to the second interval (between 5 and 10 years) with 23.4%. 21.3% of
the companies have a long experiment since they have existed on the market for
more than 20 years.
In the last positions companies having experience between 10
and 15 years (16.5%) and those between 15 and 20 years (7.9%) (see appendix
n°3).
