“…A change of one point led to a change of 0.281 Likert points. This confirms Matanda and Freeman (2009) and Sousa and Novello's (2014) works who identified a positive relation. However, Cadogan et al (2012), Lee and Griffith (2004), and Navarro-García et al (2015) found a negative relation in their research.…”

“…Subjective self-reporting was employed because of the expectation (and experience) that firms are unwilling to disclose full data (Leonidou et al 2002;Singh and Mahmood 2014) and because of a proven correlation between subjective and objective measures (Akyol and Akehurst 2003;Dess and Robinson 1984;Matanda and Freeman 2009;Stoian et al 2011).…”

“…Yet, compared with the previous literature, increasing attention was paid to emerging markets, with 44 out of the 124 reviewed studies being focused on the developing economies. However, among the developing countries, only five studies consider African countries (i.e., Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe) (e.g., Matanda andFreeman, 2009, Boso et al, 2013). China receives particular emphasis (19 studies), because it has become one of the largest economies and the biggest exporter in the world (He et al, 2013).…”

“…Although a considerable number of studies use marketing strategies as mediators in their conceptual models, they do not directly acknowledge or test mediating effects in their studies (e.g., Matanda and Freeman, 2009). This omission leads to incomplete theorization and empirical bias in the results of the hypotheses testing.…”

Design/methodology/approach -Using a vote-counting technique this paper reviews 124 papers published between 2006 and 2014 to assess the determinants of export performance. Findings -The results indicate that significant progress has been made during these nine years and that: (1) numerous new determinants are identified, (2) data quality and statistical biases have received considerable attention, and (3) interaction and indirect relationships are considered. However, at the same time, the research of export performance is still limited by (1) a lack of synthetic theoretical basis, (2) inconsistent empirical test results, and (3) insufficiency in the research framework and statistical methodologies.Originality/value -Export performance has received increasing attention over recent decades, but the area is still characterized by fragmentation and diversity hindering theoretical and practical development. This paper integrates the findings of recent studies on export performance and provides further discussion from both theoretical and methodological aspects, and points out the directions for future research.

“…This is not because context is more important in IB as opposed to generic business research (arguably, it is important in both disciplines). Rather, due to environmental heterogeneity (Matanda and Freeman, 2009), institutional variation (Vachani, Doh and Teegen, 2009), cultural plurality in markets (Johnson, Lenartowicz and Apud, 2006) or workplaces (Freeman and Lindsay, in press) and, overall, the resulting uncertainty (Lee and Makhija, 2009) integral in international markets along with the IB researcher's unfamiliarity with foreign market contexts (Malhotra, Agarwal and Peterson, 1996), all these context-related terms are inherently more complex and multi-dimensional in an international or cross-cultural setting (Cantwell, Dunning and Lundan, 2010;Johanson and Vahlne, 2009;Czinkota and Ronkainen, 2009). This complexity is implicitly reflected in various definitions of contextualisation, too (Rousseau and Fried, 2001;Zahra, 2007;Rousseau and Fried, 2001).…”

The extant methodological literature has challenged case selection in qualitative case study research for being arbitrary or relying too much on convenience logic. This paper aims to address parts of such criticism on the rigour of case selection through the presentation of a sampling framework that promotes contextualisation and thoroughness of sampling decisions in the study of international phenomena. This framework emerged from an inductive process following an actual case study project in international marketing and promotes the idea that context matters for sampling purposes, too. The proposed framework integrates methodological tools that complement the overarching principle of purposeful sampling and considers respective contextual challenges that the researchers encountered before and during fieldwork. It serves to highlight in an iterative fashion the role that context plays in the case selection process and the importance of contextualised sampling processes for qualitative case study research in international business.
