- Authors
Kazem, Amira; van der Heijden, Beatrice
- Abstract
The article considers an organizational behavior paradigm which states that strategies adopted by entrepreneurs influence the growth of a firm. Drawing upon international literature, it is assumed that attributes related to exporters are closer to those of the so-called best practice. The efforts of the government in improving the business environment and making it more investment-friendly are also acknowledged. Furthermore, it investigates the difference between exporters and non-exporters in terms of entrepreneurial orientation, decision-making style, and strategies.
