Abstract

This paper analyses the role that individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) plays in the success of international entrepreneurship moves. Additionally, we argue that entrepreneurial experience constitutes one of the primary sources of IEO. The hypotheses are empirically analysed using a 22-year panel of family SMEs. Our results confirm the hypotheses and provide a better understanding of the role of IEO in the success of corporate strategies such as internationalisation. Specifically, IEO indirectly improves firm performance by increasing internationalisation speed.
