Export Assistance: The Way Back and Forward
by Yoshi Takahashi Anisur R. Faroque"Born global" (BG) firms have attracted many researchers throughout the last decade. The emergence of this phenomenon initially posed a serious challenge to the validity and applicability of the traditional "stage" theory of internationalization; however, scholars have more recently been able to reconcile traditional and new theories into a single framework for studying the process of internationalization. This volume applies both network theory and knowledge-based theory to analyze export assistance in the context of internationalization of low-tech BG firms in developing countries (with an in-depth study of the apparel industry in Bangladesh). The findings that non-governmental network partners provide more useful advice than government agencies is one that may resonate through other countries, including developed economies. Government's more useful role is confined to the financial support and incentives that are provided to such firms. It is, however, the commitment to exporting that emerges as critical for performance, more so than export strategy, suggesting that enhanced export performance is to attract, reassure and motivate entrepreneurs in ways that strengthen their commitment to international expansion.
Export Consortia in Developing Countries
by Donatella Depperu Fabio Antoldi Daniele CerratoThe book analyzes export consortia from the strategic management perspective. It builds on an empirical analysis of nine export consortia promoted by UNIDO in developing countries between 2004 and 2007. The book is based heavily on actual export consortium experiences, in order to combine a rigorous research approach with a more pragmatic view of the phenomenon. The material will be of interest to a variety of readers. Scholars in the field of management represent the authors' primary target. The book includes a literature review which combines the topics of SME internationalization, strategic networks, and the issues which relate specifically to SME alliances in the form of export consortia. Entrepreneurs and executives will find useful business models and management tools for the successful design and implementation of export consortia. Insights into the functioning of export consortia may also be of interest to policy-makers and institutions that develop support programs for the growth of SMEs in developing countries.
Export Credit Arrangements in Capital-Scarce Developing Countries (Business - Innovation - High Tech)
by Benedict Oramah Richman DzeneSince the emergence of Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) in and around the 1900s, they have underpinned the trade, industrial and economic expansion of many economies of the world. These institutions were at the heart of the industrial revolutions of advanced economies of the early 1900s and the emergence of many Asian economies, such as China and India. In this book, we highlight the evolution of ECAs globally and in developing countries, outlining the significant changes that have occurred, and present case studies of selected ECAs to elicit differential experiences and lessons, which will constitute the guiding principles for the revival or creation of ECAs in developing countries. These principles are particularly imperative as governments in Africa and elsewhere have either most recently established or are contemplating the establishment of ECAs.

Export Dependence versus the New Protectionism: Constraints on Trade Policy in the Industrial World (Routledge Library Editions: International Trade Policy #11)
by Glenn Randall FongIn an international political economy characterised both by constancy and change, this study, first published in 1996, links together one seemingly incongruous continuity in international trade relations with an increasingly dramatic development in the economies of industrial countries. On the one hand, industrialised countries have become progressively dependent upon one another. On the other hand, the liberal international trade regime has yet to falter. These two points are tied together by seeking to explain the maintenance of liberal trade relations in terms of the mutual economic dependence of industrial countries. In particular, the study examines what may be a fundamental constraint on trade protectionism today: the reliance of industrialised countries on external trade relations, and especially on markets within the industrial world.
Export Diversification and Economic Growth
by Juan Felipe MejíaThe main research problem addressed in the book is the one regarding the role that export diversification could play for enhancing economic growth in Colombia, both in terms of new products and new geographic markets. The underlying motivation for centering the analysis on the European Union's market are manifold, reaching from the evident concentration of exports - both in terms of composition and markets- that Colombia still shows, to the small amount of empirical studies analyzing the current status and potentialities of the commercial relations between Colombia and the European Union.
Export Instability and Economic Development (Routledge Library Editions: Development)
by Alasdair I. MacbeanWhen this work was first published in 1966, there was much interest in various types of commodity agreements and compensatory financing as methods of reducing the effects of export fluctuations on the economies of developing countries. The book concluded that short term fluctuations in export earnings, though perhaps important for some countries, did not appear to be the general problem that had been assumed. If correct, it would suggest that any measures should be carefully designed to fit the situations of countries that were affected and be subjected to cost-benefit analysis. This led to many published and unpublished studies on the issues: some supported, others contradicted the book’s conclusions. The data available now are vastly greater and probably more accurate than pre-1966. However, the work and the issues it raised remain important because most schemes proposed to reduce export instability would be costly and likely to divert resources from uses more obviously aimed at raising economic development in most developing countries.

It also obtained valuable information on the factors affecting the export performance and behaviour of firms.
Export Quality and Income Distribution (Cambridge Elements in International Economics)
by Rajat Acharyya Shrimoyee GangulyGiven the increasing sensitivity of buyers in the richer countries towards quality of goods they consume, low-quality exports largely constrain export-growth of the developing countries. This Element documents the attempts to estimate cross-country quality variations and reviews the demand side and supply side explanations for the low-quality phenomenon. It examines how trade policies can incentivize export-quality upgrading, and discusses the underlying channels through which a reverse causality from export-quality upon within-country income or wage inequality may develop.
Export Strategy: Markets And Competition (Routledge Library Editions: Marketing)
by Nigel PiercyThis book offers management students and managers new insights by approaching exporting from the perspective of marketing planning, rather than the mechanics of export practice. The author evaluates the widely recommended strategy of key market concentration, showing its weaknesses and the flaws in the supporting evidence. The book provides the reader with a framework for making an explicit and informed choice between the real market options faced in practical export situations, which takes into account the many company and market factors shaping such strategies. Closely related to market strategy is the competitive base for a company’s exporting, particularly in balancing price and non-price forms of competition, and this is assessed in the second part of the book.

by International Monetary FundA joint production by five international organizations, this manual explores the conceptual and theoretical issues that national statistical offices should consider in the daily compilation of export-import price indices.
