Abstract

This study examines the impact of differential export marketing strategies on export performance in an idustrial setting. Out of ten export marketing variables investigated, only three variables—export pricing, direct buyer, and channel strategies— were found to impact on export performance. Implications for export managers and public policy makers are also presented in the paper.

    Citation Excerpt :

    As the unit of analysis, we use the export performance of the company as a whole. Early studies tended to measure export performance in foreign markets as a whole (e.g., Koh & Robicheaux, 1988; Axinn & Thach, 1990). In these studies, managers were asked to assess the “average” or “aggregated” performance for all serviced export markets.
