The Effect of the Environment on Export Performance among Telecommunications New Ventures
研究美国121家电信新创企业发现，国内环境的动态性、敌对性和异质性与更高的出口绩效显著相关，而企业年龄、正式出口规划和技术成熟度也有促进作用。
The importance of exports for achieving business growth and superior financial performance is widely recognized in the literature. Consequently, researchers have sought to identify the variables that influence a company's export performance. Accumulated research findings highlight a need to document the effect of the domestic competitive environment on a firm's export performance. Adopting a multidimensional view of export performance, this study of 121 U.S. telecommunication new ventures concludes that dynamism, hostility, and heterogeneity in a firm's domestic environment are significantly associated with higher export performance. Further, while a venture's age, formal export planning, and technological sophistication are conducive to high export performance, the impact of the venture's size and past financial performance on export performance are insignificant.
