Abstract

Abstract Identifying factors that inform export activities has received attention in the literature, but there are fewer studies examining the resources and capabilities required by SMEs operating in regional areas. Small businesses face a number of challenges including resource constraints and lack of access to financial capital. For SMEs operating in regional, rural and remote areas, these challenges are amplified. Using the lens of Resource-Based theory, this study aims to identify specific resources and capabilities that enable small premium food producers to undertake export into foreign markets. This exploratory study utilized semi-structured interviews with (N = 7) SMEs operating in Tasmania, Australia. This research extends the usefulness of the Uppsala model by offering a coherent understanding of some of the specific requirements for exporting activity and illustrates how small firms can harness exporting resources and capabilities.

确定成功出口的企业资源和能力：以区域中小企业优质食品生产商为例

摘要识别为出口活动提供信息的因素在文献中受到了关注，但对在地区经营的中小企业所需资源和能力的研究较少。小企业面临许多挑战，包括资源限制和缺乏获得金融资本的途径。对于在区域、农村和偏远地区经营的中小企业来说，这些挑战被放大了。利用基于资源的理论，本研究旨在确定使小型优质食品生产商能够向国外市场出口的特定资源和能力。这项探索性研究采用了半结构化访谈，其中（N = 7）在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚经营的中小企业。这项研究通过对出口活动的一些具体要求提供连贯的理解，扩展了乌普萨拉模型的有用性，并说明了小公司如何利用出口资源和能力。
