Abstract: | The main purpose of this research note was to use the multiple-case study method to validate the content and identify the management process in Olson and Wiedersheim-Paul's (1978) pre-export behaviour model. It confirms the crucial role played by the decision-maker in the pre-export decision-making process. In terms of model content, five additional variables have been added to the model and causal links have been identified as two-way processes rather than one-way processes as indicated in olson et al (1978) model. |
