Strategic Importance of Location for Export Competitiveness

Abstract

In order to provide a nuanced understanding of
how geographic location affects firms' ability to
compete in export competitiveness, the review
synthesizes key findings and insights from a
thorough analysis of 71 scholarly articles from
reliable databases, including Scopus, Web of
Science, JSTOR, Science Direct, PubMed, DOAJ,
and IEEE Xplore. Important factors that affect
export competitiveness include the innovation
environment, industry clusters, the agglomeration
effect, the availability of skilled workers, and
proximity in terms of language and culture. This
review provides a comprehensive understanding
of the strategic significance of geography in
influencing enterprises' export plans and
performance in the global marketplace by
combining empirical data with theoretical
frameworks. The review's conclusions broaden
our theoretical and practical understanding of
how firms' location decisions are influenced by
location, which helps managers run their
businesses profitably
