Abstract
There is a lacuna of empirical research in the international marketing literature pertaining to problems and issues encountered by exporting firms, particularly in relation to the Western European context. In addressing this gap, reports the findings of an ethnocentric study, which focused on the problems confronting the ongoing export activities of indigenous Greek manufacturing firms within the trading sphere of the European Community. Examines specifically the extent to which there are significant differences in perceptions of exporting problems based on the organizational characteristics of firm size and export market experience. Tests two hypotheses, and identifies a number of such differences. Provides conclusions and implications, which furnish both managers and public policy makers with an awareness of scenarios where exporting problems may arise. Considers the research limitations, and also appends suggestions for avenues of future research on which these have some influence.
