| dc.description.abstract | The report provides an initial test of various explanations of the economic performance of domestic suppliers to the Norwegian offshore industry in the years 1993-1996. In general, the economic performance of the offshore suppliers is found to have improved continuously since 1994.
Against the backdrop of the NORSOK restructuring process, a new data set on these features for 392 suppliers to the Norwegian offshore industry 1993-1996 was collected. The importance of determinants endogenous to the suppliers that figures so prominently in recent resourcebased perspectives in strategic management could not be clearly established.
Controlling for offshore investment levels and supplier competitiveness, product/market factors and upstream/downstream orientation are found to be statistically significant determinants of the economic performance by two of three measures of economic performance applied. Firm size and corporate affiliation are the most significant overall features for explaining economic performance, followed by product- and customer specialisation. | en_US |
