Abstract
In this chapter we present the empirical evidence which forms the basis of this book. Our analysis covers nine export consortia supported by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in developing countries between 2004 and 2007: four in Peru, three in Morocco, and one each in Tunisia and Uruguay.
After detailing the objectives and methodology of the empirical investigation, we present a concise version of the nine case histories compiled during the research in order to describe the main features of each of the export consortia analyzed: origins, membership, strategies and goals, governance structures, organization and management systems, and target markets.
