Pyper, Keith (Principal Investigator) Baker, Michael (Co-investigator)
The need for more effective exporting has become a growing concern in the UK and a regular topic for debate by policy makers, industry figures, the media and academics alike. The authors of this report from the University of Å·ÃÀ¸ßÇå Business School, in partnership with the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise and with the support of the Marketing Trust, conducted a survey of recent winners of the Queen’s Award for International Trade, recognised worldwide as the UK’s highest official accolade for international business success.

In the current climate of uncertainty surrounding Brexit and Trump’s protectionism policies, Britain’s future trading relationships are not clear and within this setting the Queen’s Award winner’s successful practices offer insights to lead the way in raising the UK’s future exporting efforts. Who better to ask what makes an effective exporter than those firms awarded the highest accolade for their International trade through exporting?

The research also serves as a replication of a study of Queen’s Awards winners undertaken by the Department of Marketing at Å·ÃÀ¸ßÇå University in the early 1980s titled 'Successful Exporting' and therefore provides the opportunity for unique longitudinal insights.
