Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firm export performance (FEP) has been a subject of research since 1960s. This is because favourable firm performance as a business activity is important not only to the export company but also the national economy. At firm level, good performance brings about company growth through profit re-investment and development of company's facilities and resources. At industry and national economy level, it results in innovation and quality development, government revenue through taxes, employment, and infrastructural developments among others. All these consequently improve livelihood, standard of living of the citizen and economic development in a country. For these reasons, practitioners and academics remain interested in issues of acceptable level of FEP. Practitioners strive to achieve firm export objectives especially objectives of profitability and growth; and academics want to explain the factors and other issues underlying FEP. The available literature indicates that it is not clear what determines acceptable level of FEP. The literature further indicates that knowledge on FEP is fragmented, contradictory, and full of controversies, lacking consensus and the theory on FEP is still at infancy stage of development. Export corporations are reportedly facing challenges in operationalising their export objectives, leading to continued poor performance. Therefore the objective of this study is to examine the literature to identify the determinants of FEP in the context of Uganda, and then to propose a model to gain insight into the dynamics in order to generate new understanding and explanation of FEP. Examination of literature identified export market orientation, export market environment, and organisational learning as independent variables. In addition, export market information system, export market strategy, and organisational innovations capability were also identified as mediators. Quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 250 firms in some industries in the export sector. Psychometric analyses covering reliability, exploratory, confirmatory, and validities analyses were performed. Finally, structural equation modelling was used to validate and analyse the hypothesised relationships in the study. The results indicate that the independent variables indirectly relate to FEP. This implies that an export development or promotion corporation needs to invest in implementation and practice of these variables. The key variable that have been empirically identified as determining FEP include export market orientation, export market environment and organisational learning as independent variables; and export market information system, export market strategy and organisational innovations capability as mediating variables. Appropriate implementation and practice of these variables would create competitive edge hence in export firms, hence, improving FEP. This would consequently enable the firms to realise their export objectives, and other economic benefits due to good export performance. In conclusion, from the perspective of Uganda, good FEP is determined by export market orientation, export market environment and organisational learning. These determinants yield better influence through export market information system, export market strategy and organisational innovations capability as mediators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the new strand in the new trade theory literature that focuses on firm heterogeneity in this paper we investigate determinants of firm export performance in Ukraine. The study is based on the BEEPS firm level data compiled by EBRD and the World Bank. The study covers the period starting in 2005 and ending in 2013. We estimate probit regressions for each year of our sample as well as for the pooled dataset that includes all years. Our pooled estimation results indicate that the probability of exporting is related to the level of productivity, the firm size, R&D expenditure, the share of university graduates in productive employment, as well as the internationalization of firms. The estimation results obtained for particular countries reveal some degree of heterogeneity. In particular, the firm age is significant only in the last years of our sample.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vital role of exporting to the world and countless benefits of export for firms and countries cause the increasing attention to the determinants of firm export performance. However, despite numerous published works on determinants of firm export performance, the literatures are characterized by the inaccuracy in measurement of export performance determinants that led to inconsistent and opposing findings. The future research should attention the previous problems in evaluating determinants of firm export performance to facilitate theory development. This paper evaluates many studies concerning measurement of export performance determinants. This study organized into two sections: first, recognition the determinants of export performance that led to confuse and conflicting findings. Second, methods to evaluate export performance determinants are analyzed. In the end, the finding is discussed and direction for future research is mentioned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study is to explore the potential determinants of the post-entry export performance of new firms operating in Greek manufacturing and services industries. We track a large sample of new firms established during the period 2000-2004 and we analyse the drivers of export performance over the period 2010-2012 using data from ICAP directories and Hellastat. Estimations of panel fixed effects show that firm size, age, liquidity and industrial ICT intensity favour post-entry export performance. By contrast, high-leveraged new firms, located in metropolitan areas and operating in knowledge intensive services, tend to be less export-oriented.

This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many countries, a sizable share of international trade is carried out by intermediaries. While large firms tend to export to foreign markets directly, smaller firms typically export via intermediaries (indirect exporting). I document a set of facts that characterize the dynamic nature of indirect exporting using firm-level data from Vietnam and develop a dynamic trade model with both direct and indirect exporting modes and customer accumulation. The model is calibrated to match the dynamic moments of the data. The calibration yields fixed costs of indirect exporting that are less than a third of those of direct exporting, the variable costs of indirect exporting are twice higher, and demand for the indirectly exported products grows more slowly. Decomposing the gains from indirect and direct exporting, I find that 18 percent of the gains from trade in Vietnam are generated by indirect exporters. Finally, I demonstrate that a dynamic model that excludes the indirect exporting channel will overstate the welfare gains associated with trade liberalization by a factor of two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does what economies export matter for development? If so, can industrial policies improve on the export basket generated by the market? This book approaches these questions from a variety of conceptual and policy viewpoints. Reviewing the theoretical arguments in favor of industrial policies, the authors first ask whether existing indicators allow policy makers to identify growth-promoting sectors with confidence. To this end, they assess, and ultimately cast doubt upon, the reliability of many popular indicators advocated by proponents of industrial policy. Second, and central to their critique, the authors document extraordinary differences in the performance of countries exporting seemingly identical products, be they natural resources or 'high-tech' goods. Further, they argue that globalization has so fragmented the production process that even talking about exported goods as opposed to tasks may be misleading. Reviewing evidence from history and from around the world, the authors conclude that policy makers should focus less on what is produced, and more on how it is produced. They analyze alternative approaches to picking winners but conclude by favoring 'horizontal-ish' policies--for instance, those that build human capital or foment innovation in existing and future products—that only incidentally favor some sectors over others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and social progress requires a diverse ecosystem of firms that play complementary roles. Making It Big: Why Developing Countries Need More Large Firms constitutes one of the most up-to-date assessments of how large firms are created in low- and middle-income countries and their role in development. It argues that large firms advance a range of development objectives in ways that other firms do not: large firms are more likely to innovate, export, and offer training and are more likely to adopt international standards of quality, among other contributions. Their particularities are closely associated with productivity advantages and translate into improved outcomes not only for their owners but also for their workers and for smaller enterprises in their value chains. The challenge for economic development, however, is that production does not reach economic scale in low- and middle-income countries. Why are large firms scarcer in developing countries? Drawing on a rare set of data from public and private sources, as well as proprietary data from the International Finance Corporation and case studies, this book shows that large firms are often born large—or with the attributes of largeness. In other words, what is distinct about them is often in place from day one of their operations. To fill the “missing top†? of the firm-size distribution with additional large firms, governments should support the creation of such firms by opening markets to greater competition. In low-income countries, this objective can be achieved through simple policy reorientation, such as breaking oligopolies, removing unnecessary restrictions to international trade and investment, and establishing strong rules to prevent the abuse of market power. Governments should also strive to ensure that private actors have the skills, technology, intelligence, infrastructure, and finance they need to create large ventures. Additionally, they should actively work to spread the benefits from production at scale across the largest possible number of market participants. This book seeks to bring frontier thinking and evidence on the role and origins of large firms to a wide range of readers, including academics, development practitioners and policy makers.
