Abstract
This paper contains case studies documenting the process of export emergence in four sectors
producing differentiated goods in Argentina: wines, television programs, motorboats, and
wooden furniture. Each case describes the development of Argentine exports, provides a basic
history of the sector and shows the types of practices adopted by firms that were able to export
to the developed world on a consistent basis. Since in all of the cases except wooden furniture
export emergence in the sector is closely tied to the leading role of an export pioneer, the case
studies also explain how the background of this export pioneer enabled him to gain the
knowledge needed to export consistently. Finally, the cases characterize how the business
practices first adopted by the pioneer diffused to other firms in the industry leading to export
growth in the sector.
