摘要本研究的目的是补充资源为基础的观点与集群的方法，以确定哪些要素，无论是内部的公司和当地可用的，提高企业的出口业绩。从基于资源的观点看，出口公司取决于无形资源的开发，而从集群办法看，出口商利用当地的外部因素，主要是当地信息、知识和资源外溢。我们目前的经验证据从伊比利亚火腿集群在西班牙，这证实了相关的无形资产，如研发和营销推广，但也集群与当地机构的联系-技术中心，大学和使用原产地指定-在提高出口业绩。与预期相反，员工教育，组织经验，信息和知识为基础的溢出效应，从最近的出口商没有显着的影响。这些研究结果表明，一个增强的框架可能会提高集群出口业绩的预测要素。
Abstract This research aims to complement resource-based view with a cluster approach in identifying which elements, both internal to the firm and locally available, improve firms’ export performance. While in the resource-based view exporting firms are contingent upon the development of intangible resources, from a cluster approach exporters exploit local externalities, mainly related to local information, knowledge and resource spillovers. We present empirical evidence from the Iberian ham cluster in Spain, which confirms the relevance of intangibles such as R&D and marketing promotion, but also of cluster linkages with local institutions – technological centres, universities and use of Designation of Origins – in improving export performance. Contrary to expectations, employee education, organizational experience, and information and knowledge-based spillovers from proximate exporters have no significant effect. These findings suggest that an augmented framework may improve the predictive elements of export performance in clusters.
