Analysis of perceived barriers to exporting by the Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) method: case of Algerian companies

Abstract

The literature on international trade and the internationalization of companies explains that the perception of export barriers is one of the factors that illustrate why some companies start earlier and develop their export activity more than others. This article aims at presenting the results of an exploratory study that we conducted in the context of a developing country. Indeed, a survey of Algerian companies allowed us to identify and prioritize the obstacles perceived in the context of their internationalization through the mode of export. The results show the need to improve the national environment by making it more conducive and facilitating their penetration of foreign markets
