Export Information Use: A Five-Country Investigation of Key Determinants
基于五个国家出口企业的调查数据，研究了信息、出口和情境因素对不同类型出口信息使用的影响，发现这些因素的作用取决于信息使用类型和获取方式。
Although information use is crucial for effective export decision making and ultimately export performance, most of the extant literature focuses on information acquisition rather than information use. Using data from a five-country survey of exporting firms, this study examines the impact of information-, export-, and context-specific variables on different types of export information use. The results show that the effects of these factors depend on the type of information use considered and the mode of information acquisition involved. The authors discuss implications of the findings and identify further research directions.
