Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An empirical study was conducted in the aerospace sector in order to analyse the relationship between strategic analysis and export behaviour of SMEs. CEOs' perceptions of the environment were measured using the four traditional SWOT model dimensions: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Results from 132 Canadian and 141 American SMEs show interesting differences between the two countries. It appears that Canadian managers are more prone to react to external opportunities whereas their American counterparts adopt a more defensive behaviour and primarily adjust their export behaviour in view of perceived weaknesses and threats. Globally, strategic analysis has a greater impact on export behaviour in Canada than in the USA.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
