“…Finally, Filipescu et al (2013) propose a study which concerns the reciprocity between export and innovation in the Spanish context. Export is measured according to two categories: the scope of the export activity and its intensity.…”

“…On the other hand, certain studies put forward a bidirectional relation through which there seems to be a mutual strengthening of export and innovation, but this strengthening takes a different form according to the direction of the causality considered. The impact of innovation on export is not an exact mirror of the impact of export on innovation (Filipescu et al, 2013). So, the link between innovation and export does not seem to limit itself to a simple cause-and-effect relationship.…”

Numerous publications try to identify and test empirically the link between innovation and export to explain firms' competitiveness. But it seems that several ways of thinking coexist, without a real consensus. This article proposes a different approach, by considering innovation and export not in terms of impact of the one on the other, but rather as two complementary activities mobilizing common capabilities (resources, skills, knowledge). These common capabilities represent the capabilities that a company needs to mobilize as a priority to improve its performance regarding innovation as well as export. This article aims to identify the common spaces between innovation and export in terms of current practices within SMEs. Initially, the innovation and export practices were identified in the literature and through a set of interviews with business managers. Then an analysis of similarity put forward the common practices between the innovation and export processes. A data spatialization shows that the common practices concern at least: (1) network management, (2) consideration of the customer, (3) the acquisition of information, (4) skills management, (5) the capitalization of knowledge, (6) the global strategy, (7) the follow-up of the projects, (8) the intellectual property, and finally (9) the corporate culture.

“…On the other hand, central hypotheses are based on solid literature and it makes researchers presume a bidirectional relation. Future research could be validated through the use of panel data to predict if the innovative capability increases the probability to accede foreign markets (e.g., Cassiman and Golovko, 2011;Filipescu, et. al., 2013;Monreal-Pérez, et.…”

Latin America and the Caribbean is recognized as a region of entrepreneurs, as evidenced by the high amount of ventures per capita; however, just a few number of companies export and most of them show a weak growth and little innovation. Using information from the GEM database -Colombia 2010 and 2011, this study investigates the mutual effects between the owner-manager's commitment to innovation and the export behavior of companies. Logistic and Ordinal regression models are used to test the proposed hypotheses in this study.The main findings of this study suggest that the owner-manager's commitment to innovation is an important booster for exports, as well as for increasing sales abroad. Furthermore, the results suggest that the export propensity, in turn, increases the likelihood of involvement of owner-managers to innovate in Colombia.

“…An attempt to explain the different performance of nations in international markets may be in the relationship between innovation and exporting performance (FILIPESCU et al, 2013;ROPER;LOVE, 2002). In this sense, Zou and Stan (1998) identified several indicators, both quantitative and qualitative, for exporting performance such as Export Intensity and Innovation.…”

Abstract:The Brazilian companies have crossed geographic borders, commercially and also culturally in search of longevity for their products and services. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the strategic factors and the product innovation on the exporting performance in a candy confectionary company. In this regard, it has been analyzed the internationalization strategies used by the company, through quantitative and qualitative methods by application of a survey and interviews which, together, enabled to compare the importance and the performance of various attributes considered decisive to the exporting performance. Among the achieved results, this work showed there is a gap between the degrees of performance versus the degrees of importance of the studied attributes. This means that, by top management perspective, the company is below market expectation. It evidences the necessity for reevaluation the strategic planning, in order to strength other important dimensions explored, aiming to achieve success in the international market. This study confirmed the existence of a strong relationship between innovation product, strategy and exporting performance.
