Internationalization, competitiveness enhancement and export performance of emerging market firms

Evidence from Vietnam

Pham, Ha Thi Van (Frederiksberg, 2009)

[More information]

Abstract:

The thesis revolves around the internationalization of Vietnamese firms - that is, how the international competitiveness of these firms is enhanced in terms of both upstream and downstream value chain activities and the export performance implications hereof. For Vietnamese firms, as well as for other firms from emerging markets, internationalization trajectories may differ considerably from the internationalization patterns portrayed in classical theories (such as the Uppsala Model) based on observations of the internationalization of firms from Western, developed market economies. Classical theories have primarily focused on firms’ marketing & sales and networking capabilities as levers of internationalization – and less on upstream capabilities, such as manufacturing and auxiliary service competencies. Likewise the situation in other emerging markets many Vietnamese firms are inserted in global value chains (GVCs) governed by multinational buyers. For these firms, manufacturing skills may be of equal - or greater - importance to export performance than the mastering of marketing & sales and networking in foreign markets. The thesis presents various theoretical perspectives on firms’ internationalization – perspectives that vary in terms of their focus on either upstream or downstream activities (or, the interrelationship of these two types of activities). The thesis tries to fill out the knowledge gap as to which of these theoretical perspectives fit best the trajectories of Vietnamese manufacturing firms involved in exports. In doing so, the thesis also draws on GVC models, entrepreneurial literature, and studies of economic as well as strategic export performance. Unique survey data covering 226 Vietnamese manufacturers involved in exporting was collected through face-to-face interviews conducted in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. On the basis of these data a set of hypotheses is tested using structural equation modelling as a statistical tool. The empirical study suggests that Vietnamese firms create international competitiveness in relation to both upstream and downstream activities. Furthermore, the study suggests that upstream competitiveness of the sample firms is significantly more attractive in terms of economic export performance (export sales, profitability and growth) than downstream competitiveness. However, when export performance is measured in more far-sighted, strategic terms, there are no significant differences between the two dimensions of competitiveness. The study also reveals some interesting industry differences: for firms in the “low-tech” textiles & garments industry, upstream competitiveness has greater impact on economic export performance than downstream competitiveness. Conversely, downstream competitiveness results in a higher economic return than upstream competitiveness for firms from the “high-tech” industries of electronics and mechanical manufactures In the last part of the thesis, theoretical, empirical, and managerial implications are discussed along with conclusions and suggestions for future research.

Interne evalueringer

Redskab til kontrol eller udvikling af offentlige organisationer?

Hansson, Finn (København, 2005)

[More information]

Abstract:

Det er en gennemgående tese i denne undersøgelse af interne evalueringer, at en af de vigtigste kendetegn ved den New Public Management -dominerede udvikling af den offentlige sektors reguleringspolitik, som Danmark såvel som en række andre OECD lande har gennemlevet, er en omfattende brug af alle mulige former for evalueringer og tilsvarende vurderings- og kontrolsystemer til styring og regulering af offentlige institutioner og aktiviteter. Den overordnede samfundsmæssige baggrund for denne udvikling består af en sammenkædning af grundlæggende ændringer i forholdet mellem videnskab og samfund, udvikling af mere og mere komplekse reguleringssystemer og måske vigtigst, hastige ændringer i samfundenes værdigrundlag (individualisering, se Beck 1999) – alt sammenholdt med voksende økonomiske problemer for den offentlige sektor i en globaliseret økonomi. Et af de mest karakteristiske træk ved NPM i forhold til tidligere politiske strategier for udvikling af den offentlige sektor er den meget omfattende og i nogle sammen¬hænge systemati¬ske anvendelse af evalueringsmetoder, af refleksive kontrol og reguleringssystemer, det som Power (1997) sammenfattende betegner som ’the audit society’. Overgangen fra styring af offentlige institutioner og organisa¬tioner via generelle politiske målsætninger og økonomisk rammestyring til en moderniseringsproces, hvor udviklingen er styret af et quasi-marked i form af brugerefterspørgsel og resultaterne skal dokumen¬teres i form af produktbeskrivelser, kon¬trakter (con¬tract management) og opfyldelse af kvalitetsmål, har krævet ibrugtagning af en række metoder og teknikker til organisationsudvikling og styring af produkterne kvalitet, som tidligere kun yderst sjældent har været anvendt af offentlige institutioner og organisationer. Mens NPM strategien med privatisering og deregulering viste sig at have begrænset rækkevidde, så efterlod den en omfattende brug af evalueringer og dermed en arv, som i første omgang blot fremtrådte som et teknisk hjælperedskab i udvikling og omlægning af offentlige institutioner, den systematiske brug af evalueringer som kontrol og styringsredskab. Efter en periode viste det sig imidlertid at blive til noget, der er mere end et teknisk hjælpemiddel. Evalueringer er kommet for at blive og har i denne proces fået en langt mere og mere selvstændig rolle og funktion – de er ikke længere blot et redskab til justering og feedback – men fremstår mere og mere som den nye centrale metode for organisationsudvikling i store såvel som små offentlige organisationer.
