The export patterns of an economic entity, whether nation-state or enterprise, are composed of three elements: volume, composition and direction. The methodology employed in the analysis of export patterns depends on the scale, locus and aspect of the research focus. A researcher's attention may be on the exports of an individual enterprise, province or nation-state (scale); it may focus on influencing factors from within the importing market or those of the exporting entity (locus); and the researcher may contemplate the problem from different intellectual or ideological perspectives (aspect). From 1975--1995, China's economy grew from an insignificant player in the world's export economy to exporting dynamo. Such dramatic and reasonably stable export growth makes China an ideal country on which to test and evaluate the tools of economic and international trade geography. In this project, the export patterns of selected state-run enterprises in the Bohai Region of northern China were analyzed in terms of processes by which decision makers adapt to the export opportunities made possible by China's restructuring political economy. Based on data acquired through interviews with the heads of export departments in eleven state-run and two township-village enterprises in China, qualitative analysis was used to determine which variables in China's fast evolving political economy most influence the evolution of the export patterns of their individual enterprises. The results reveal that a complex array of spatial and aspatial, political-economic, socio-political and institutional factors influence the changing structure of the export patterns of China's state-run enterprises. For example, when domestic prices exceed foreign prices, enterprises will naturally cut back on exports, but only to a degree that allows them to maintain their direct import/export management status, and earn enough foreign currency to pay for necessary imported materials. Also, contract responsibility systems, designed as incentives to enhance the economic performance and fiscal responsibility of state-run enterprises, counter-intuitively result in operational practices that include a focus on short-term profit to the detriment of long-term development, and a decision to market what the enterprise can produce versus producing what the enterprise can market. The dissertation concludes by inferring the spatial and institutional impacts of each of the discrete but interrelated findings.
