Abstract

Global competition and economic globalization are forcing countries' governments to devise encouragement support programs and formulate exporting policies to help SMEs export, compete, and survive in foreign markets. This study examines the mediating role of national export support and encouragement programs (NESEPs) in clarifying the impact of determinants of market environment information on the SMEs' export financial performance (EXFP) and SMEs' export strategic performance (EXSP) based on a resource-based view, which helps understand novel holistic relationships between them. Data from 106 exporting SME firms working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were collected using an online questionnaire survey. Regression path analysis from structural equation modeling was used to test the study's model relationships. The most important positive findings that emerged from this study are: Determinants of market information acquisition (DMIA) will positively influence SMEs' EXFP and NESEP. Determinants of market information dissemination (DMID) will positively influence SMEs' EXSP. Determinants of market information responsiveness (DMIR) will positively influence NESEP. NESEP will positively mediate the effect of DMIA and DMIR on SMEs' EXSP. The study’s theoretical and social implications and limitations are discussed in the concluding sections. Furthermore, directions for future research are provided.

市场信息对出口绩效的影响:名义出口支持与鼓励的中介作用

全球竞争和经济全球化迫使各国政府制定鼓励支持计划和制定出口政策，帮助中小企业出口、竞争和在国外市场生存。本研究基于资源基础的观点，考察了国家出口支持与鼓励计划(NESEPs)在厘清市场环境信息决定因素对中小企业出口财务绩效(EXFP)和中小企业出口战略绩效(EXSP)的影响中的中介作用，有助于理解它们之间新的整体关系。通过在线问卷调查收集了在沙特阿拉伯王国工作的106家出口中小企业的数据。采用结构方程模型的回归路径分析对模型关系进行检验。本研究最重要的积极发现是:市场信息获取的决定因素(DMIA)将对中小企业的EXFP和NESEP产生积极影响。市场信息传播决定因素(DMID)对中小企业的企业绩效有正向影响。市场信息反应决定因素对NESEP有正向影响。NESEP正向中介DMIA和DMIR对中小企业EXSP的影响。本研究的理论和社会意义及局限性将在结语部分讨论。并对今后的研究方向进行了展望。

期刊介绍： Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
