There are companies with high demand products and with little competitive pressure that can afford to give up exporting with relatively moderate levels of risk. The opposite will happen with companies that have little differentiated products and that move in highly competitive environments. Companies with strong growth objectives and “risky” owners assume more risks than companies that are satisfied with their market position.
