Uluslararası Girişimcilik ile İhracat Pazar Performansı Arasındaki İlişki: Türkiye deki İhracatçı İşletmeler Örneği

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between international entrepreneurship of exporters in Turkey and their export market performance. In respect, the research inquires two general questions; “Is there a link between firms’ entrepreneurial behaviors and their success in export markets?” and “Does the level of internationalization make any difference in export market performance?”. The study, which considers international entrepreneurship within the resource - based perspective, is assumed original in terms of research design, since the observations are independent of any industry or geographical region in Turkey. The findings reveal that firms’ entrepreneurial orientation and behaviors in international markets have positive effects on their export performance and there is a significant difference in export market success between internationalized firms and others.
