Among the aspects concerning the sphere of international business, the phenomenon of cooperative exporters is one of the most recent and enticing. The activity that presupposes “a large range of arrangements from simple ones without strong commitment” (654), as Tuusjarvi, E. (2005b) defined it, the issue involves selling both the products of the given company and the ones of the other entrepreneurships.
Since the phenomenon has been introduced into the world market comparatively recently and deals with the issues concerning business rivalry, its effect on the economics can be considered questionable, which means that the given issue demands thorough exploration. Hence, it is required that the results of the cooperative export on the world economics should be considered. Out of the most important concepts concerning the sphere of cooperative export, one must mark several essential issues concerning the given phenomenon.
It is necessary to remember that cooperative exporter owns an export organization, sharing it with the other exporters, and introduces the goods created by the manufacturers to the other countries. Because of the specifics of the institution, the question of the exporter cooperation efficiency arises. One of the most detailed and all-embracing studies on the issue of cooperative exporters is the research offered by Tuusjarvi, E. (2005b), who explores the mechanism of the cooperative exporter work.
Offering his own understanding of the role of cooperative export in the world economics and assessing its impact on the economical situation of a certain country, the author clarifies that the partnership between the members of the cooperative enhances the efficiency of the companies, increases the revenues and contributes to the overall economical development of the country in question. Therefore, the necessity to encourage the development of the operative export development is a part and parcel of the present-day economics.
The relation of the article in question to the topic of the research is obvious. With the help of the results provided by Tuusjarvi, E. (2005b), it becomes clear that the cooperative export concept has become a major issue in the modern world and is currently influencing the world economical situation. Hence, the paper by Tuusjarvi, E. (2005b) helps considerably in clarifying that the phenomenon of cooperative exporters may be the turning point of the modern world economics.
It is also necessary to emphasize that the research conducted by Tuusjarvi, E. (2005b) correlates with a number of other researches conducted on cooperative exporters. Borst (1990) offers his predictions concerning the given sphere and further on (Borst 1993) comments on the results.
Tuusjarvi, E. (2005a) provides a specific example of modern application of cooperative exporting, while Spratz (1994) offers the postulates for the efficient cooperation. In addition, IPCRI (2000) provides certain examples of the problems that cooperative exporters might face.
According to the results obtained, the necessity to encourage the world cooperative exporters is absolutely obvious. Helping the world market to prosper and at the same time increasing their own revenues and the revenues of their partners, cooperative exporters are bound to change the world market for the better.
With the help of efficient cooperative exporting, one can reach considerable increase in the company incomes, which means that corporate exporters have to be given credit for their impact on the economical situation in the world in general and in certain countries in particular.
