Resumen

The main objective of this work is to find out to what extent the fact that a company is an exporter has consequences on its performance. The case study, developed from ARDAN database, is focused on the Spanish region of Galicia. The temporary period covers from 2002 to 2013. The sample includes only SMEs. The empirical analysis starts from a set of business variables linked to management, fixed factors such as location and to the economic situation. The results obtained with the analytical techniques applied are not conclusive and the way is open to new investigations.
