Team Scotland's Export Promotion Support: evaluation
Summary findings of an evaluation of delivery partner support and services offered to businesses with export sales projects in Scotland between April 2018 and April 2021.
4. Summary of approach
4.1 The mixed methods approach includes, as well as a survey of and in-depth interviews with beneficiary firms, a survey of Scottish based exporting firms which had not received support. The intention of this was to provide a control group and to compare the make-up of assisted firms with general exporters. The approach also included econometric analysis of these survey results and analysis of SDI management information.
