J. for Global Business Advancement (JGBA), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2007

Abstract: This article reports empirical results of a study on the impact of government export promotion programmes (EPPs) on internationalisation of Developing Country firms. Drawing on the internationalisation process theory and resource-based view, a conceptual model was developed to test the positive effect of EPPs on a firm's export knowledge, which influences firm's export commitment and export strategy that determine firm export performance. Primary data set from a sample of 203 exporters in Bangladesh was used to test the path model using AMOS programme. SEM results significantly support the hypothesised positive effect of EPPs on export performance as well as export knowledge and other relationships in the model.
