Nowadays, export marketing connoisseurs believe that one of the most important
and critical matters for companies in competitive market is "identification of
export function's determinative factors" in order to increase this action and
getting the desirable level. Also, as the universal business and selling activity in
international markets develops, people's attention to the effective factors on
companies' export operation increases, too. (Moghaddam et al, 2011). The
present research focuses on identification and evaluation of export function's
determinative factors in automobile industry. The accomplished studies in this
research about export function and some skills of its models were analyzed. The
model used for identifying the determinative factors is combined with
"Haghighi" and his colleagues' research model in 2008. This integrated model
states that export's stimuli and problems, its competitive advantages and
commitment and strategic characteristics of export marketing and government's
support are the determinative parameters for export function. Iran khodro diesel
company's employees form the statistic group of this research. The hypotheses
were tested and analyzed by spss18 software and using one-sample T-test's
illative statistics after data were collected by questionnaire. Then, the binomial
test was applied for confirming the results. Finally, the priority of each variable
was assessed by using the "Friedman" ranking test. The results and findings of
this research show that the above-mentioned parameters are effective in export
operation of automobile industry and they are known as determinative
parameters.

INTRODUCTION
Export has always been concentrated in oil since a long
time ago because of profuse petroleum products and its
resulted income. Existence of this petroleum income

(Kamali, Bahrami, 2010). On the other hand, the proper
policy-making must be performed about increasing the
non-oil export in future by the complete attention to
energy and natural resources. More simply, as nonpetroleum export increases, the country's dependence on
one-production economy decreases. Our experiences show
the vulnerability of some countries to economical and
political international conflicts because of their
dependence on one-production economy. Therefore, they
often have numerous problems. Concentration in export

percentage of the country's active population are indirectly
or directly working in this industry because of its
development. Since the automobile industry has
communicated with more than sixty industries, it's known
as "industries manufacture" or "industries' locomotive".
Thus, automobile can be exported into other countries, if
the production perpetuates and automobile industry
develops, whether qualitatively or quantitatively. As a
result, as more people are employed in this industry, the
rate of unemployment will be reduced in the society.
Moreover, according to this industry's development
strategy, automakers must attempt to export one-million
automobiles in every kind to universal markets annually
until 2024.
Research aims are as follows
1) Identifying and determining the affective factors on
export development and improvement of automobile
industry's function.

Data analysis (hypotheses test)
The hypotheses 2-6 have been studied and tested based on
There are four basic stages for evaluating the research
hypotheses as follows:
1) codifying the statistic assumptions: As the Likert fivechoice spectrum has been applied for testing the hypotheses,
it can be noted that if the score's mean for given replies to
each question is more than three (3) in this research, so the
studied variable will influence on the question and vice versa.
As a result, we can formulate the statistics assumptions for all
of hypotheses as follows:
H0: μ≤ 3
H1: μ > 3
2) Calculation of test statistic: The group's standard deviation
in this research is indefinite. However, because the sample's
content is more than 30 based on the "central limit" theorem,
it can be noted that it has a normal estimation. (Azar,
Moemeni, 2004). The statistic formula is as follows:
t= x-μ / s/√n
3) Determining the critical amount: As the present research
has a test with one rightmost sequence, the critical amount
will be extractable by using the related tables.
4) Comparison and decision-making: Decision is made by
comparing the critical amount with the test's statistic. So, if
the statistic of test is set in H0 range, the "H0" hypothesis will
be confirmed. Likewise, the H1 hypothesis will be accepted if
this statistic is set in H1 range. The results to be drawn in
statistic test of the research hypotheses are represented in

Each of effective factors has been studied by using the
binomial test in order to certify and confirm the accuracy
of T-test results that the statistic hypothesis in binomial
test is as follows:
H0: p ≤ 0.6
H1: p > 0.6
The cause of comparison is its proportion with 0.6 that the
ratio of three-choice to five-choice equals 0.6 (3/5). As
this ratio increases and gets more than 0.6, the
effectiveness of the causes increases, too. (Javanmard ,
Soltanzadeh, 2009). The results obtained from binomial

As we describe these results based on the above Table, we
find that the standard of decision equals Sig.(2-tailed)= 0.000
and it's less than α= 0.05 (Sig ˂α). Therefore, H0 is rejected in
all hypotheses and it indicates the effect of above-mentioned
causes on export performance.
Conclusion and suggestions
The presented suggestions in this section are as follows
regarding the results obtained from hypotheses test.
Section 1: export stimuli:
It's recommended that we can improve the export
performance regarding the export stimuli such as surplus
production, economic profit acquired by goods' export to
abroad and also by considering the export interesting
incentives and solving the limited barrier in the target
country.
Section 2: competitive advantage:
As the Table shows, the results obtained from "binomial test"
exactly confirm the results in "one-sample T-test".
The foreign marketing information system is planed and
performed in order to create the competitive advantage
and increase the needed information. Moreover, the
available technologies are updated in materials' production
and some methods are outlined for new production and
distinct goods by using raw materials with high quality.

Section 3: Export commitment:
Variables' ranking
According to the results and findings, it's suggested that
we not only must create an independent export unit but
also we have to codify the appropriate marketing for
providing the target market's needs and planning its own
export activities. That way, company's export performance
will be improved towards increasing export and
establishing export commitment in all levels of
organization.
Friedman test has been applied for this research variables'
ranking.
H0 : the priority of effective causes on company's export
performance is equal.
H1 : At least, the relationship between two variables of
effective causes on export performance is different.
The output of SPSS software will be described in Tables 7
and 8 for Friedman test.

Section 4: Export Marketing Strategic capobilites:
This research shows that the high export performance can
be acquired by commitment to performing the adaptive
marketing strategies. Export marketing strategies'
adaptation is similar to the conformity of export
productions with foreign customers' preferences and it
allows the exporter not only to meet the foreign customers'
needs, but allows him to create the competitive situation in
the market.
Section 5: barrier to export:
According to the results in Friedman test, export issues
and problems have the highest effect on company's export
performance and because these problems can be official,
processing, communicational, legal or informative
problems, so it's necessary to solve them by studying and
assaying their basic identification.
Section 6: Government support:
This research highlights the government's vital role for
simplifying the companies' performance in export
markets. Thus, government can increase the power of this
