Abstract

This article investigates how the export status —incumbent vs. new exporter— affects SMEs’ ability to reap productivity gains. We conduct regression analysis using panel data of Spanish manufacturing SMEs from the PITEC database. Our evidence confirms that the combination of the status of incumbent exporters and of the open search strategy allows SMEs to improve their productivity. This effect is particularly acute when firms are domestically-owned and when they acquire market-oriented information. We contribute to the literature on the relationship between export and productivity by showing that export status matters, and by introducing openness into the discussion.

开放搜索、外资所有权和市场信息对中小企业出口商生产率的影响

本文研究了出口现状——现有出口商与新出口商——如何影响中小企业获得生产力收益的能力。我们使用来自PITEC数据库的西班牙制造业中小企业面板数据进行回归分析。我们的证据证实，现有出口商的地位和开放搜索策略的结合允许中小企业提高他们的生产力。当公司为国内所有并获取市场导向的信息时，这种影响尤其明显。我们通过展示出口地位的重要性，并将开放性引入讨论，为出口与生产率之间关系的文献做出了贡献。

Its target audience consists of scholars in International Business Administration. Management International Review is a double-blind refereed journal that aims at the advancement and dissemination of research in the fields of International Management. The scope of the journal comprises International Business, Cross-Cultural Management, and Comparative Management. The journal publishes research that builds or extends International Management theory so that it can contribute to International Management practice. Management International Review welcomes both theoretical and empirical work. Original papers are invited that are based on a solid theoretical basis and a rigorous methodology. In the area of empirical studies, the journal publishes both quantitative and qualitative research. To be published in Management International Review, a paper must make strong contributions and highlight the significance of those contributions to the field of International Management. The editors are especially interested in manuscripts that break new ground rather than papers that make only incremental contributions. Management International Review publishes articles and research notes. Every year, six issues are published. On average, two of these issues are Focused Issues, which concentrate on a specific subfield of International Management.
