Abstract
PurposeThe
purpose of this paper is to present several opportunities that can
emerge from using a multilevel approach to study the antecedents of
export venture performance, and provide scholars with the conceptual and
practical tools for developing multilevel models of export venture
success.
Design/methodology/approachEssay.
FindingsThe
paper shows the problems which scholars face if they continue to engage
in using single venture data to test models that are inherently
multilevel in nature.
Research limitations/implicationsThere
may be a need to revisit previous works that utilize samples of single
ventures to assess models of export venture performance that are
implicitly multilevel.
Practical implicationsThis
paper outlines the practical issues that researchers need to consider
when conducting multilevel research in the export venture performance
field.
Originality/valueThis paper is the first to focus on the multilevel nature of the export venture performance construct.
