Abstract
Purpose - The purpose of this study is to understand what firm characteristics influence the export propensity of Australian seafood firms. Design/methodology/approach - Case study methodology was employed and involved collecting qualitative data from managers of seafood firms. The data was used to explore four propositions relating to the export propensity of Australian seafood firms. Findings - The data provides support for the propositions that a firm's management experience and commitment along with relationship and information capability influence export propensity. Indeed the level of export experience of managerial staff had the strongest level of influence on export propensity in the case study data. Research limitations/implications - The exploratory nature of the study means that results cannot be generalised beyond the setting in which the data was collected. Future research should examine export propensity of Australian firms in a broader sample of agricultural industries in other developed and developing countries.
