“…The existence of a high ID between the local country and the destination country generates uncertainty for companies that seek to enter them or for those that are already present but are affected by the dynamism of these markets (Hilmersson and Jansson, 2012; Antunes et al , 2019). The institutional framework of the destination market encompasses issues that generate political risks, such as expropriation, tax discrimination and competition with the public sector, which the company must anticipate and face (Bass et al , 1977; Fitzpatrick, 1983; Green and Cunningham, 1975; Alam et al , 2020). These risks can be directed to all foreign companies or only to certain fields of the company or to foreign companies with certain characteristics (Robock, 1971).…”

Purpose This study aims to analyse the joint impact of institutional distance (ID) and the generation of commercial intelligence (GCI) on export proactivity and coordination capacity, as well as the effect of these last ones on the export performance. Design/methodology/approach This analysis was carried out by using structural equation modelling for 89 Peruvian agro-exporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Findings This study demonstrates the positive impact of relational norms on intelligence generation, and that of the latter on coordination capacity and export proactivity. Likewise, ID has a negative impact on coordination capacity, revealing its inverse effect on this relationship. Research limitations/implications The paper has limitations due to its cross-sectional nature. In addition, future studies could increase the sample size and studies in other sectors for comparison purposes. Also, studies on ID in emerging countries should be deepened. Practical implications Managerial implications are reported and show the influence of the institutional context on the coordination capacity and export proactivity of the firm. Originality/value In the literature review on exporting SMEs in emerging countries, it has been little studied the impact of activities such as relationship management and ID from markets as antecedents to the GCI, export proactivity and coordination capacity as well as their effect on their export performance. Therefore, the originality relies on the insights provided by Peru, because this country bases its exports on its comparative advantages and the reactive behaviour of most of its small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

“…First, endowments which mainly comprise raw materials, most kinds of labour, and proximity to markets. Second, there exists a range of environmental variables that serve as a function of political, economic, legal, and infrastructure factors of a host country, for example, favourable host government policies and incentives (Bass et al, 1977;Root and Ahmed, 1978). An important location variable is the level of competition in a host market.…”

This article examines aspects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Bulgaria. The article considers propositions relating to the location and own-company motives for engaging in FDI in Bulgaria, the performance of the foreign ventures, and challenges in the management of the ventures. The article also reviews the lessons for potential investors in Bulgaria. The article is based on the analysis of in-depth interviews with senior expatriate managers of nine foreign ventures in Bulgaria. This analysis serves to better understand the nature of FDI in Bulgaria and highlights the issues facing potential investors. Relatively few studies have been conducted on FDI in Bulgaria which is one of the least researched transition economies. This article therefore sheds new light on some important issues concerning FDI in Bulgaria and serves as a case study of a transition economy that is little reported on and little known in the West.

“…En la revisión, se ha intentado cubrir una mayor parte de las tendencias y enfoques de la decisión de localización industrial. Esto incluye fundamentalmente los trabajos realizados por autores clásicos tales como Thunen (1875), Laundhart (1885), Weber (1929), Hotelling (1929), Lösch (1954, Hoover (1937Hoover ( , 1948, Greenhut (1959), Isard (1959 así como las aportaciones últimas desarrolladas por McGregor y Walters (1977), Horst (1972) y Belli (1970) entre otros. Se obtienen de aquí los llamados "factores clásicos de localización".…”
