UK Export Performance Research

Previous research on export performance has been criticized for being a mosaic of autonomous endeavours and for a lack of theoretical development. Building upon extant models of export performance, and a review and analysis of research on export performance in the UK for the period 1990—2005, an integrated model of export performance is developed and theoretical explanations of export performance are put forward. It is suggested that a multi-theory approach to explaining export performance is viable. Management and policy implications for the UK emerging from the review and synthesis of the literature and the integrated model are discussed. Étude des résultats des exportations Examen et répercussions Colin Wheeler Université de Portsmouth, R.-U. Kevin Ibeh Université de Strathclyde, R.-U. Pavlos Dimitratos Université d'Économie et de Commerce d'Athènes, Grèce Une étude précédente sur les résultats des exportations ont fait l'objet de critiques pour être une mosaïque de démarches autonomes et en raison d'un manque de développement théorique. S'appuyant sur des modèles existants des résultats des exportations ainsi que sur l'examen et sur l'analyse d'une étude de résultats des exportations au Royaume-Uni couvrant la période de 1990 à 2005, un modèle intégré des résultats des exportations a été mis au point et des explications théoriques desdits résultats ont été présentées. Il est ainsi suggéré qu'expliquer les résultats des exportations par une démarche multithéorique est une vue viable. Les conséquences pour le R.-U. - en termes de gestion et de politique - qui ressortent de l'examen et de la synthèse de la documentation et du modèle intégré, sont aussi analysées. Investigación de los resultados de las exportaciones en el Reino Unido Examen y consecuencias Colin Wheeler Universidad de Portsmouth, RU Kevin Ibeh Universidad de Strathclyde, RU Pavlos Dimitratos Escuela de Economía y Negocios de la Universidad de Atenas, Grecia Las investigaciones anteriores sobre los resultados de las exportaciones han sido criticadas por ser un mosaico de empeños autónomos y por una falta de desarrollo teórico. Basándose en los modelos existentes de los resultados de las exportaciones en el Reino Unido para el período de 1990 a 2005, se ha desarrollado un modelo integrado de los resultados de las exportaciones y se presentan explicaciones teóricas sobre dichos resultados. Se sugiere que un planteamiento multiteórico es viable para explicar los resultados de las exportaciones. Se discuten las consecuencias en cuanto a gestión y política para el Reino Unido que surgen del examen y síntesis de la documentación y del modelo integrado. Untersuchung: Britische Exportleistung Kritische Betrachtung und Schlussfolgerungen Colin Wheeler Universität Portsmouth, Großbritannien Kevin Ibeh Universität Strathclyde, Großbritannien Pavlos Dimitratos University of Economics and Business, Athen, Griechenland Vorangegangene Untersuchungen von Exportleistungen wurden kritisiert, nur ein Mosaik aus Einzeluntersuchungen zu sein, die darüber hinaus keine theoretische Entwicklung aufweisen. Diese Studie entwickelt ein integriertes Modell der Exportleistung, das auf existierende Modelle, sowie eine kritische Betrachtung und Analyse der Exportleistung Großbritanniens für die Zeit von 1990 bis 2005 aufbaut. Darüber hinaus werden theoretische Erläuterungen der Exportleistung dargelegt. Die Studie deutet an, dass eine Mehrfachtheorie für die Erklärung von Exportleistungen entwicklungsfähig ist. Implikationen für Management und Strategien für Großbritannien, die sich aus der Untersuchung und der Synthese der Literatur sowie dem integrierten Modell ergeben, werden diskutiert.
