1332 Words6 Pages

Studying the determinants of exports performance has been one of the major priorities in the field since the 1970s. However, despite of the tremendous attention devoted by researchers, a comprehensive theory that explains export performance is yet to be developed. Some consider that knowledge on this field is fragmented, diverse and sometimes even inconsistent, which makes export performance one of the most contentious fields in international marketing (Katsikeas, Leonidou, & Morgan, 2000). Export performance research at the firm level in emerging economies in Africa is sparse as studies have largely focused on the country level. Rankin et al.

Export performance can be described in objective terms such as sales, profits, or marketing measures or by subjective measures such as distributor or customer satisfaction.

An organization is a combination of resources and competencies and competitiveness is the ability of a company to …show more content…

    Substitutive performance as it used to be Traditionally, where there has been a breach of trust arising from a misapplication of the trust property, the breach had to be remedied by having the trust falsified. This subjected the trustee to a strict liability to restore the trust property in specie. Where this was not possible, the trustee had to compensate the beneficiary by paying him or her a monetary sum equivalent to the value of the trust property. This is known as substitutive performance. As stated by Elliott, ‘a beneficiary seeking substitutive performance relief in respect of a misapplication of trust property does not complain of a breach of trust causing loss’ .
