Includes bibliographical references. "Export performance of the individual firm is the focus of this research. Performance (export growth and export level) is thought to be a function of export strategies and firm and managerial determinants. Export strategies are defined à priori and relevant firm determinants selected through a literature survey. Primary data was collected from 142 firms of the electronics industry in Canada. The findings are: (1) export growth and export level are virtually independent gauges of export performance; (2) the sets of determinants for the two gauges of export performance are different; (3) export performance is fairly well explained by the selected determinants; (4) export performance is strategy specific: world oriented marketers perform best, U.S. oriented sellers perform worst; (5) characteristics of the firms that adopt each specific strategy differ. The results yield important implications for research applications, government export policies and management"--Abstract, page ii. Issued also in print format.
