Contribution to the Study of the Relationship between Organizational Capital and Export Performance: The Case of Agri-Food SME Managers in Morocco

Abstract

In the current context of global markets and growing exports, companies are forced to compete in many different environments. Some of them, including large companies and multinationals, are able to develop the necessary reflexes to detect changes in the environment and adapt their competitive strategies. Others, such as SMEs and micro-enterprises, do not always have the opportunity to internationalize easily because of many obstacles due to the lack of resources. This empirical study is based on conceptual and theoretical foundations that are the basis of our conceptual model of the research. Indeed, after having treated the theoretical and conceptual framework related to the problem, we developed a conceptual model of the research that was the subject of the empirical test through the administration of a questionnaire whose data were the subject of a treatment and an analysis of the results.
