The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of total quality management (TQM) between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and SME export performance in the manufacturing sector of Pakistan. This study was originated from the fact that only a few studies have examined on how the firm's intangible resources and capabilities such as EO and TQM drive SMEs' export performance. Some questionnaires in Likert scale were used to collect the data and 364 usable responses were received from the owner/managers of exporting SMEs. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for the data analysis. The findings reveal significant relationship between EO and TQM with SME export performance. Furthermore, this study found the complementary mediating role of TQM between EO and SME export performance of manufacturing sector of Pakistan. This study has implications for owner/managers of SMEs. The results offer a better understanding regarding EO and TQM implementation to SMEs owner / managers. Thus, owner/managers of SMEs can take better decisions for the implementation of TQM practices. Furthermore, to the best of researcher's knowledge, this study is the first work, which examines Pakistan`s SMEs export performance in association with the TQM as the mediating factor between EO and SME export performance.

“…Os primeiros passos na internacionalização são considerados uma inovação na empresa (REID, 1981), mas tal esforço implica riscos (OVIATT; MCDOUGALL, 2005;FELZENSZTEIN et al, 2015). Como tal, o nível de propensão ao risco dos decisores em uma PME tende a afetar o caminho e a intensidade de progresso de exportação.…”

“…Vários estudos apontam que o processo de internacionalização de PME recebe a influência de diversos fatores internos e externos, sendo que o decisor é o principal responsável pela elaboração das estratégias a serem adotadas pela PME (FELZENSZTEIN et al, 2015;JAVALGI;TODD, 2011;OMRI;BECUWE, 2014). Entretanto, é possível que o decisor possua algumas características gerenciais, tais como o capital humano, o capital social, propensão ao risco e percepção de risco, que variam de níveis, podendo influenciar a tomada de decisão no sentido de internacionalizar a PME.…”

Research Summary This paper examines the effect of key cultural and economic factors on the emergence of born‐global (BG) companies. Such factors include the intentions and the growth aspirations of the entrepreneur, as well as the country's characteristics in terms of its income per capita and the complexity of its economic system. The analysis also highlights how the environment affects the importance of the aspirations to be BG. Our work expands the literature on BGs in Latin America by analyzing macroeconomic aspects and specific features of the entrepreneur and the environment as possible determinants of BG character. The results reveal that the entrepreneur's intentions and aspirations, along with environmental factors and the economic growth in Latin America, contribute to a firm's probability of becoming a BG company. Managerial Summary Firms that internationalize at an early stage of their life are known as born‐global (BG) companies. We analyze the influence that the key cultural factors of a company have on the creation of BG companies. Such factors include the entrepreneur's intentions and growth aspirations, in addition to various economic and environmental factors. The findings show that individual factors, in combination with economic growth, play a more important role than those factors related to the entrepreneur's innovativeness and the level of knowledge intensity associated with a country's export basket.
