Abstract

Despite of the importance of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in international performance, we have yet to obtain sufficient insights into how and why a firm’s EO strengthens international performance. This article focuses on the underlying mechanism through which EO influences international performance, and develops a model of EO → knowledge creation → international venturing, and new product development decision-making flexibility → international performance linkages. Following a survey of 141 Taiwanese electronics firms, the results provide support for our proposed mediating process behind the EO–international performance link. These findings offer several theoretical and practical implications in the entrepreneurship and international business areas.
