Abstract

This study identified the discriminating factors among continuous and intermittent exporting firms from the South of Minas, regarding variables from the external environment, the internal characteristics and technological innovation. A binary logit model was defined to research the determinants of exporting performance. The results showed that firm's external factors do not discriminate or condition continuation of exporting activities. Some characteristics of the firms discriminate between the two sub samples and have direct impact on continuation of exporting activities (performance measures). Regarding the adoption of technological innovations, the results revealed that continuous exporting firms are more intensive in product, process and organizational innovation. However, not all discriminating items of the sub samples refer to technological capacity; explain positively and with significance the firm's continuation on the exporting market.
