“…Pfeffer and Salancik’s (1978) premise states that organizations are dependent on their environments for resources. The second premise is that firms can manage this dependence by developing and implementing appropriate strategies (Lessoua et al ., 2020). In the contingency paradigm, exporting is considered a relationship between internal and external factors (Robertson and Chetty, 2000).…”

PurposeThe wine sector is a growing industry with an important share of the revenue resulting from export markets. Due to its cultural nature, wine exporting requires specific firm and managerial capabilities. As such, traditional approaches to the factors influencing export performance must integrate the specificities of wine as a product.Design/methodology/approachThis study, based on a sample of 93 wine producers, develops and tests, using structural equation modeling, specifically the partial least squares method, a conceptual model of the influence of internal factors, external factors and partner relationship capabilities in export performance.FindingsResults reveal that internal factors and partner relationships have an impact on the firm’s noneconomic performance which influences economic performance. It is also shown by the results that external factors do not affect the noneconomic performance or economic performance. Moreover, the results show the moderation effect of the noneconomic variable. Internal factors and relationship capabilities have an impact on economic performance considering the mediation effect of the noneconomic performance. Overall, firms’ internal factors and relationship capabilities are crucial to achieve better export performance for Portuguese wine companies.Originality/valueThis study combines the theories of SCP, resource-based view and relational or behavior perspective to present a novel approach to export performance by analyzing the external and internal dimensions of the firm in relation to both financial and nonfinancial performances.

“…We control for two additional variables: rm export status and ease of access to nance. Research suggests that rms experience higher growth through international trade and access to foreign markets (Andersson et al, 2008;Atkin et al, 2017;Lessoua et al, 2020). Therefore, we account for a rm's export status as a potential factor in uencing growth.…”

We study the relationship between environmental regulations and firm performance using World Bank Enterprise Surveys data for manufacturing firms in 142 countries covering 2007 to 2017 period. Existing research offers mix findings on the link and does not consider the role of institutional weaknesses, such as corruption, in the effectiveness of these regulations. To address this gap, we analyze the conditional effects of environmental regulations on firm growth across economies with varying perceptions of corruption. Our findings support the ‘strong’ version of the Porter Hypothesis, suggesting that stricter environmental regulations significantly enhance firm growth. However, when combined with high levels of bribery, these regulations have an adverse effect. The robustness of these results is confirmed by employing various statistical techniques (e.g., IV-GMM) and alternative model specifications.

“…A firm cluster, or a firm agglomeration, can be defined as the spatial concentration of firms in a geographic unit (Alc acer & Zhao, 2012;Lessoua et al, 2020;Porter, 1998). Firm cluster can enhance firm performance and thus create more job opportunities, thereby increasing the welfare of local people (Azhar & Adil, 2019;da Silva et al, 2022;Giang et al, 2015Giang et al, , 2016.…”

Firm clusters are considered as a contributing factor to local economic development. However, there are limited studies on the effect of firm clusters on the well‐being of rural communities, particularly in terms of income improvement, poverty reduction, and migration. Our research aims to shed light on these relationships at both the household and commune levels. For empirical analysis, we employ the propensity score matching method to mitigate endogeneity bias. Our results reveal the role of firm clusters in increasing income and reducing poverty. Firm clusters also contribute to decreasing labor emigration and attracting immigrants. However, the magnitude of these impacts is relatively small, with moderate effects on income and modest effects on poverty and migration. In particular, firm clusters reduce the commune poverty rate by around 2.36%–2.51% and enhance household annual income by approximately 16.46–17.08 million VND (725–752 USD). Furthermore, analyses at the household level highlight the significance of larger clusters in improving household income. Our research underscores policy implications for rural development with a specific emphasis on firm clusters.
