Eleven developed and developing countries were selected and their total export performance were assessed and analysed by PCA in two major chemical industries which are: 1) plastics in primary forms and synthetic rubber and 2) pharmaceuticals and medicinal chemicals. The results of PCA show the weak and strong points of each country concerning export performance. This paper presents a unique standard methodology for assessment of chemical industries based export activities which would help managers to have better understanding and improve existing systems with respect to export ...
