Chapter 6 in Export Consortia in Developing Countries, 2011, pp 119-123 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this book we have shed light on the role of export consortia and the key factors affecting successful cooperation among SMEs. The empirical analysis of nine export consortia promoted by UNIDO in Morocco, Tunisia, Peru and Uruguay between 2004 and 2007 shows that export consortia can be effective vehicles in assisting SMEs to overcome major barriers to international expansion. Although the consortia covered by our analysis are still in the initial stages of their life-cycle, empirical evidence confirms that they can play an important role in fostering the success of SMEs in developing countries and, as a result, the international competitiveness of these countries.
