“…A joint venture with a foreign partner (or 100% foreign equity) facilitates participation in production networks, as it enables SMEs to reap the ownership advantages of parent companies (Wilmore 1992;Nguyen 2010;Srinivasan and Archana 2011). First, access to the superior marketing connections and know-how of parents enables direct and indirect exporting.…”

“…The neo-Hecksher-Ohlin model and Vernon's concept of the product cycle provided the early rationale for studies highlighting the importance of firm-specific advantages (i.e., differences in skills, technologies, and tastes) in the operation of industry-level determinants of comparative advantage (e.g., Lall 1986;Wilmore 1992;and Wakelin 1998).…”

“…Los pequeños y medianos empresarios de la ciudad no creen que sea importante tener un departamento de mercadeo en sus empresas (Orozco, Bateman y Torres, 2015, p. 22). En esta dirección se concluye que: Como reflexión final queda plantada la siguiente tesis: la pequeña empresa en Santa Marta no realiza innovaciones, explicado por los bajos niveles de inversión en tecnología, generando efectos negativos sobre los niveles de productividad, en este sentido los factores de i+d en este tipo de empresas son variables relacionadas con la tecnología, de manera que se espera que influyan positivamente en los resultados de una empresa (Willmore, 1992). Sin embargo, los resultados del análisis permiten aproximarnos a concluir que el emprendimiento vía innovación aún es incipiente en la pequeña empresa en esta economía.…”

AbstractThis paper explores the "black box" of innovation in the electronics production network in East Asia through a mapping exercise of technological capabilities and an econometric analysis of exporting in the People's Republic of China (PRC), Thailand, and the Philippines. Technologybased approaches to trade offer a plausible explanation for firm-level exporting behavior and complement the literature on production networks. The econometric results confirm the importance of foreign ownership and innovation in increasing the probability of exporting in electronics. Higher levels of skills, managers' education, and capital also matter in the PRC as well as accumulated experience in Thailand. Furthermore, a technology index composed of technical functions performed by firms (to represent technological capabilities) emerges as a more robust indicator of innovation than the research and development (R&D) to sales ratio. Accordingly, technological effort in electronics in these countries mostly focuses on assimilating and using imported technologies rather than formal R&D by specialized engineers.
