Export Management Companies and E-Business: Impact on Export Services, Product Portfolio, and Global Market Coverage

Pages 61-71 | Published online: 30 Nov 2015
 

Abstract

The impact of e-business on export management companies (EMCs) has been a subject of serious debate for some time and several reasons for their survival have been forwarded. Based upon the resource-based perspective of the firm, this study suggests that the primary reason for the survival of the well-established EMCs would be their market-based assets. By intertwining these assets with e-business, EMCs would not only reinintermediate, but would also become more efficient and effective. This study advances the literature by analyzing the impact of e-business proliferation on the exporting services, product portfolio, and international market coverage of EMCs.
