“…However, it is significantly correlated only with EBIT-ROA and EBIT-ROE in Chinese firms, whereas it positively correlates with sustained growth rate (GRS) in South Korean firms. It should be noted that it is a commonly accepted business practice for most business firms to operate based on credit sales, which may explain more extended collection periods to promote sales (Guner et al ., 2007) concerning market-based performance. Thus, the marketing promotion strategy is more likely to improve market growth in South Korean firms only.…”

“…However, most empirical studies investigating the impact of R&D and export activity on the company performance have focused mainly on a limited country setting, namely, the US In addition, even when comparative studies across countries have been conducted, most studies have limited their operationalization of firm performance to a single dimension of performance and countries with homogeneous business/economic environments (Jefferson et al, 2006;Johansson and Karlsson, 2007;Pianta and Vaona, 2007;Salam, 2019). Very few studies have empirically explored the strategic importance of R&D and exports in explaining firm performance using multiple performance measures (Aulakh et al, 2000;Calantone et al, 2006;Guner et al, 2007;Kumar and Singh, 2018).…”

“…Debt Leverage may be one of the essential strategic variables in business strategy. It is widely known that debt leverage is much higher in Pacific Rim countries, especially in Japan, compared to other countries like the US and Germany (Guner et al, 2007). It is desirable to introduce leverage into the general model to explain profitability since leverage is correlated with other vital elements of market structure.…”

“…Labor Productivity is essential to healthy operations in every business organization. Productivity indicates how effectively firms can combine inputs to produce outputs and is a major determinant of cost efficiency and firm competitiveness (Thompson and Heron, 2005;Guner et al, 2007). Average Collection Period, which is the ability of a firm to collect its accounts on time, is crucial to maintaining a liquid cash position that contributes to a firm's financial flexibility (Kores and Manikas, 2014;Wasiuzzaman, 2015).…”

PurposeThis study empirically investigates the significance of the core competencies on various economic performance indices by utilizing accounting and market-based performance in Chinese and South Korean leading manufacturing companies.Design/methodology/approachThis research employs a series of hierarchical regression models to test the hypotheses concerning the significance of R&D and export strategy on firms' performance.FindingsThis study finds that R&D intensity and foreign trade activities through export are most likely to be significantly associated with firm performance, particularly market-based performance, across the Chinese and South Korea manufacturing companies. The significance of other core strategic factors such as capital intensity, leverage, inventory turnover, labor productivity, administrative cost efficiency, and collection policy on performance was also contemplated.Originality/valueThe relationship between R&D and firm performance has been an interesting issue concerning the performance measures employed across different country settings. Research issues addressed in this paper relate to how R&D, and foreign trade by export influence firm performance across two diverse economic environments inherent of Chinese and South Korean leading manufacturing firms. Particularly, this study explores the directions and magnitudes of the operational and strategic relationships between key strategic factors, such as R&D intensity, export by foreign trade, and the firm's economic and market-based performance.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the determinants of own-branding strategy and whether branding contributes to higher profitability among industrial firms. Building a strong brand can be a source of competitive advantage. However, brands may not be equally important to all firms, especially in the business-to-business (B2B) context. Design/methodology/approach This study develops and empirically tests a conceptual model by considering the endogenous choice of branding strategy in the relationship between branding and financial performance. A large, nationally representative dataset from Taiwan, consisting of 13,098 manufacturing firms, is used. Findings The present study suggests that larger, younger, more innovative and export-oriented firms have a higher propensity to develop their own brands. E-commerce usage is shown to be the strongest predictor of the decision to brand. The positive effect of branding on profitability is evident for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but not for large firms. Originality/value Research integrating the perspectives of the decision to brand and branding effectiveness is scant. The methodology used in this study makes a theoretical contribution to the link between branding and firm performance. The findings indicate that large firms have more advantages for building their own brands, yet SMEs stand to gain more financially from branding relative to their large counterparts. This provides the important implication that SMEs benefit from building a strong brand in the B2B context.
