Abstract

The competitiveness of Catalan agri-food cooperatives is studied from a new point of view, their internationalization and specifically the effects on internationalization due to the adoption of quality certifications. Most of the previous research focuses on organizational, economic and commercial aspects, and there are few works linking both fields. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyse the behaviour of the relationship between internationalization and certification. For this purpose, the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test for two independent samples and boxplot analysis were used. The results of this research show a positive relationship between different certification systems and internationalization. Empirical evidence was found: Exporting cooperatives that adopt ISO 9001 or a production system certification have a higher export intensity and geographical diversification than those that do not adopt it.

加泰罗尼亚农业食品合作社的竞争力:国际化-认证关系
从一个新的角度研究加泰罗尼亚农业食品合作社的竞争力,他们的国际化,特别是由于采用质量认证对国际化的影响。以往的研究大多集中在组织、经济和商业方面,很少有将这两个领域联系起来的作品。因此,本研究的目的是分析国际化与认证之间关系的行为。为此,使用了两个独立样本的非参数Mann-Whitney U检验和箱线图分析。研究结果表明,不同的认证制度与国际化之间存在正相关关系。经验证据表明:采用ISO 9001或生产体系认证的出口合作社的出口强度和地域多样性高于未采用该认证的出口合作社。
