International entrepreneurship in established firms: does it matter?

This chapter examines the influence of firms’ entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on both internationalization decision and dimensions (speed, scope) in established companies. Specifically, this chapter highlights the existence of a positive relationship between an entrepreneurial orientation and internationalization decision; between EO and internationalization speed; and EO and international scope in established firms. Thus, our research allows us to develop the International Entrepreneurship (IE) field because the chapter analyses the internationalization of established firms from an entrepreneurial perspective.
