The third study explores the relationship between management practices, productivity, and export performance in Dutch manufacturing firms. The findings show that better-managed firms tend to have higher productivity and export revenues, indicating a link between management practices and the heterogeneity of firms' export performances. This dissertation provides valuable insights for both academics and practitioners on the impact of management on firm outcomes, with implications for how firms can optimize their management strategies to achieve better performance at both the national and international levels.
