“…In developed and developing countries, there are massive empirical studies that explore the causal link between international trade and economic growth (Baliamoune-Lutz, 2011;Bhagwati & Srinivasan, 1975;Dervis, 1979;Keesing, 1967;Marjit & Ray, 2017;Ncube & Cheteni, 2015;Hulst et al, 1991). Some studies examine the relationship through the neoclassical growth framework and reveal that the export of goods and services is an essential determinant of economic growth (Heitger, 1987;Lussier, 1993).…”

“…Regarding this, the theory of Marjit and Ray (2017) argues that exports are amplified with the rise in competition in the presence of advanced technology, thus cause economic development. Contrarily, the new growth theory identifies six major sources of growth, namely, (a) growth of capital goods, (b) productivity growth from lowtech-to high-tech sectors, (c) developments in the skilled labour force, (d) technological changes (Durlauf, Helliwell, & Raj, 1996), (e) Technology may increase export; resulting economic growth, and (f) export and technology might additionally generate the competitive advantages of an economy.…”

Recent studies regarding the impacts of technology spillover and international trade have gained momentum in the emerging economies. Empirical evidences show that some countries gain and other loss to grasp the opportunities of international trade and technological innovation to compete in the global market. This paper examines the effect of export and technology on the economic performance of emerging Asian countries, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model between the periods 2000-2016. Following the Solow economic growth model, the result identifies a positive and significant effect of export and technology on the economic growth of the emerging Asian economies. Similarly, the long-run estimation ascertains the significant and positive impacts of trade and technology on the economic growth of the countries. The results are robust using alternative dynamic panel models, representing the pivotal role of export and technology to the economic growth of the countries. Thus, we recommend policymakers to device attractive policies that can enhance the advancement of technology and trade to maintain sustained economic growth. This would also fasten the internationalisation process and enable to compete efficiently in the global markets in terms of quality of exports and standardisation.

How do Gender and Immigrant Background Affect a Company Owner's Decision to Engage in Direct or Indirect Exporting?

This research focuses on understanding the effects of gender and immigrant ownership on the export behavior of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Prior studies indicate that female and male entrepreneurs have different qualities or experiences that might result in different export strategies. In addition, there is evidence that business owners with an immigrant background have export-enabling characteristics. Drawing on insights from social capital theory, I investigate the separate and joint effects of gender and immigrant background on the likelihood of SMEs to engage in direct exporting—i.e., selling goods or services directly to foreign customers—as opposed to indirect exporting—i.e., using an intermediary to sell goods or services to foreign customers—or not exporting at all. I analyzed a sample of 78 SMEs. The results show that female-majority-owned SMEs are less likely to export directly compared to male-majority-owned SMEs. Immigrant-owned SMEs are more likely to export directly, and particularly when they have male owners. Female-majority-owned SMEs’ propensity to export directly is not affected when their owners have an immigrant background. I will discuss the theoretical implications of these findings and show how they may serve as a guide to improve the design and implementation of policies targeted at immigrant export businesses.

“…Marjit and Ray (2017) have exhibited that current years have been undergoing a growth in the literature of industrial heterogeneity and export decision-making in the ambience of productivity and relevant costs of exports in manufacturing firms. Meil and Salzman (2017) have proclaimed that quick rise of the Indian economy, specifically in software development and services for the past ten years, has provoked a broad range of investigation toward its success.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine critical barriers in transitions between technology push (TP) and demand pull (DP) strategies in Indian manufacturing industries for accomplishing sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach The factors that affect the transitions have been extracted and analyzed using factor analysis technique. For the purpose, various critical barriers are grouped together based on their relevance to TP-DP strategies. The responses to critical barriers have been collected from different Indian manufacturing organizations practicing TP-DP strategies, using a well-framed TP-DP questionnaire. Further, the responses are analyzed using factor analysis which improved the data interpretation. Findings Four latent factors were extracted from critical barriers and revealed that the manufacturing organizations face these barriers in transitions between TP-DP strategies. The recognition of the outcomes of critical barriers has been perceived to be substantial in the present context. Originality/value The research concludes that TP-DP strategies in Indian manufacturing industries encounter relevant critical barriers for accomplishing sustainable development. The outcomes of the study will help TP-DP practitioners, HR executives and organizational managers in manufacturing companies to develop clear understanding about the significant TP-DP strategies to be followed comprehensively for realization of sustainable development. The manufacturing organizations will be able to formulate and express their policies and issues in a more pertinent manner. Hence, the knowledge obtained from the empirical examination of critical barriers in transitions between TP and DP strategies will be helpful in improving the overall performance of manufacturing industries involved in the present study.
