Abstract:
The main purpose of this study is to develop a model explaining the path toward competitiveness development for entrepreneurial food exporting firms. In this study, the competitiveness development model is based on dynamic capabilities perspective. Few studies have been provided a model for competitiveness development of manufacturing firms from the dynamic capabilities perspective. For this purpose, the method of this study is grounded theory. Thus, 20 food-industries managers and experts in food sector were interviewed. The systematic approach presented by Strauss and Corbin (1990) was used to analyse the interviews. The competitiveness development model consists of the causal conditions, the intervening conditions, the contextual conditions, the export strategies of food exporting SMEs and the consequences. For analysis the interviews, MaxQDA software was used. The model identifies dynamic capabilities that lead to competitiveness and suggest the path to building such capabilities. Implications of findings are discussed at organisational-level and institutional-level.
