TLDR

This paper presents a comparative study of the export performance of U.S. and Canadian small and medium-sized exporters. A parsimonious model is developed drawing on the resource-based theory of the firm, with three sets of resources, namely firm size, enterprise, and technological intensity. These key resources are good predictors of the export strategy of a firm. Export strategy is modeled as degree of internationalization, and its effect on the overall firm performance is studied using firm-level performance measures. LISREL's multiple group analysis feature is used in the analysis to test the model. The results confirm the validity of the model across the two data sets.read more

Asset stock accumulation and sustainability of competitive advantage
Ingemar Dierickx,Karel Cool +1 more
TL;DR: Barney as mentioned in this paper showed that the sustainability of a firm's asset position depends on how easily assets can be substituted or imitated, and that imitability is linked to the characteristics of the asset accumulation process: time compression diseconomies, asset mass efficiencies, interconnectedness, asset erosion and causal ambiguity.
