Note(s):

By employees. For the ECS MR 2019 sample firm ages vary; 13% ≤ 10 years, 22% between 11 and 20 years, 25% between 21 and 30 years, and 39% => 30 years or more. For the ECS MR 2013 sample firm ages vary similarly; 16% < 10 years, 67% between 10–49 years, and 17% > 50 years

NACE industry code based. Industry representation for the ECS MR 2013 sample was similarly distributed (primary (<1%), secondary (manufacturing) (42.3%) and tertiary (services) (57.6%) sectors)

ECS 2019 employee and ECS 2013 management respondent descriptives condensed for brevity purposes. ECS MR 2019 roles of respondents centered around either hierarchical general- and owning managers (31.7%) and supportive human resource-, finance, operations, etc. managers (68.3%). This is similar to the ECS MR 2013: 33.7% = of hierarchical general- and owning managers, 66.3% = supportive human resource-, finance, operations, etc. managers

ECS MR 2013 also included 9.5% responses from Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland (the results in Table 4 with- and without this group are consistent)
