Building on a transaction cost economics (TCE) approach this study aims to study the relationship between global market scope and export performance in family SMEs. Using a sample of European firms our empirical analysis supports that family SMEs carry an inverted U-shaped relationship between geographic scope and export performance. Moreover, we find that external managers and outside ownership influence this relationship.

Abstract
Building on a transaction cost economics (TCE) approach this study aims to study the relationship between global market scope and export performance in family SMEs. Using a sample of European firms our empirical analysis supports that family SMEs carry an inverted U-shaped relationship between geographic scope and export performance. Moreover, we find that external managers and outside ownership influence this relationship.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
