The determinants of export performance: a review of the empirical literature between 1987 and 1997

Article Abstract:

An examination of export performance literature between 1987 to 1997 showed that many of the research suffered from the poor structure of the conceptualization that led to the poor measurement of the determinant of the phenomena. This poor conceptualization and measurement has lead researchers to test a variety of determining factors, none of which proved conclusive enough to qualify as a significant determinant of export performance.
