Abstract

This paper reports empirical results from a research project investigating selected characteristics and perceptions of technologically oriented firms. Specifically, it examines data from a survey of winners of the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement, and from a sample of technologically oriented firms that did not apply for the award. This paper is especially concerned with firms' perceptions of factors contributing to their international competitiveness. Findings from a postal survey and subsequent interviews indicate that there are a number of differences between the two groups of firms. Implications are that some of the characteristics and practices that set winners of the Queen's Award apart from other technology-based firms in their domestic market contribute to their performance overseas. While the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement is not specifically awarded to firms for their internationalisation capabilities, these firms provide valuable advice to technology-based firms entering international markets.
