dc.description.abstractWhile there are many requirements for making successful decisions, the raw material is information. Nowhere is this more evident than in the international arena. As Czinkota (1991:86) wrote: 'Information is even more important in the international setting, where entirely new parameters and environments are encountered.' Unfortunately, in spite of the growing importance of international trade, little knowledge exists about how firms gather information outside of their home country. The recognition of this lack of research has lead to a special call for papers by International Marketing Review in 2001, looking at this issue. There are a plethora of studies that look at how domestic firms gather information (e.g. Prescott and Bhardwaj, 1995, looked at the type of information collected by American firms). However, with the exception of a handful of studies (e.g. Bodur and Cavusgal 1985; Calof 1997; Hart, Webb and Jones 1994; Souchon and Diamantopoulos 1999; Mohamad, Zafar and Honeycutt 2001) it is not known whether these findings apply in an international context. More important for this study, research to date has focused on developed countries (Canada, United States and the United Kingdom) and not on an emerging or an economy in transition, such as the South African oneen_US
