Abstract

[fre] Dans l'industrie, beaucoup d'entreprises exportent, mais pour de faibles montants. Dans le commerce ou les services marchands, à l'inverse, les exportateurs sont peu nombreux, mais pour des montants élevés : le fait d'exporter ne préjuge pas des performances à l'exportation. . Ainsi, si les entreprises de grande taille et qui disposent d'une assise financière suffisante sont souvent des exportatrices, elles n'exportent pas nécessairement une part importante de leur chiffre d'affaires. Celles qui exportent le plus ont aussi un personnel très qualifié et une productivité élevée. [spa] Exportar: un asunto de importancia - En la industria, muchas empresas exportan pero por importes poco considerables. En el comercio o en el sector de servicios mercantiles, por el contrario, los exportadores son poco numerosos pero las transacciones corresponden a montos elevados. El hecho de exportar no permite juzgar de antemano acerca de los resultados a nivel de exportación. . Así, si las empresas de gran magnitud, que disponen de un respaldo financiero suficiente, son frecuentemente exportadoras, no exportan necesariamente una cuota importante de su volumen de ventas. Las que exportan más cuentan también con un personal muy calificado y tienen una productividad elevada. [eng] Exporting: a Matter of Size - In industry, many firms export, but only for small amounts. In trade or marketable services, on the contrary, exporters are few and far between, but for large amounts: the fact of exporting does not imply a high performance as an exporter. . Thus, large-sized firms which have a sufficient financial basis at their disposal are often exporters, but they do not necessarily export a large share of their turnover. The firms which export the most also have a very skilled staff and high productivity.
