Association between age of the MSMEs and various activities undertaken by them –An Analytical study of sports goods industry of Punjab

Since the definition of MSME underwent so many revisions, there must be difference in the experiences of different MSMEs, operating in different eras. That is why there is a need to study the effects of age of the MSMEs (time period since the MSMEs are into business) on other activities of the same. In this paper, the relationship or association of age of the MSMEs is studied with three variables i.e social initiatives taken by the enterprise, percentage of exports done by them or their export performance and subsidies availed by them.
