Third, further characterizing the two most successful exporting
clusters—centralized and decentralized experienced exporters—would
be desirable. What are other correlates of these
two firm typologies? Gan additional explanations be provided
of their export market success? It seems that export profitability
is within reach for both centralized and decentralized companies. What are the dynamics of success for these two types
of firms? Is the centralized model more appropriate for certain
types of industries, export markets, or firms serving fewer export
markets? Is the decentralized model hest for markets
where the manufacturer can tap exceptionally well-qualified
distrihutor partners or country personnel?
