dc.description.abstractThe choice of the appropriate sales mode belongs to the firm?s most important strategicdecisions after entering into a foreign market. Thus, it is important that the selected foreign salesmode best suits a firm?s available resources and capabilities. However, these resources and capabilitieschange over time. Therefore, it might be necessary for a firm to adjust its foreign salesmode to these changing firm-specific conditions. Using a longitudinal data set of newly foundedtechnology-based firms in Germany and the UK, this paper applies logistic regressions and analysesempirically the probabilities of changing between the two sales modes most frequently used bythe sampled exporters: direct exports and exporting via an intermediary. The estimation resultsconfirm the importance of the firm?s physical and intangible resources as well as the influence oftransaction-specific assets on a sales mode change. However, the effects of the latter factors mightbe dominated by strategic considerations that are not covered by our data. For example, a younghigh-tech firm will resort to an intermediary regardless of its resources and transaction-specificassets if this is the only way of coming into contact with foreign customers.en
