| Tiivistelmä: | The exporting successes of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in industrialized countries have led to the increasing recognition of the potentially critical role of SMEs in export- and private-sector-led economic growth in many developing countries. Policies to assist more SMEs to export must be informed by any systematic differences between current exporters and non-exporters. This study employs the logit model to ascertain the explicability of why some SMEs are exporters and some are not (export propensity) in Swaziland, a small, landlocked African country. The often-used firm-specific and manager-related variables are utilized and a good fit is obtained. |
