“…Lisboa et al (2011) have claimed that EO drives product development’s explorative and exploitative capabilities to facilitate new product differentiation, leading to firms’ foreign market effectiveness. Similarly, Yoo et al (2019) have found the effect of entrepreneurial factors on product differentiation for leading SMEs’ internationalization in South Korea.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on the export performance of apparel small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the role of multiple differentiation strategy as a mediation effect between their relationships. It has also investigated the moderation impact of export market category between EO and performance relationship. The multiple differentiation strategy comprises the product (PDD), customer (CTD), service (SVD) and brand (BDD) differentiations. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey was carried out by providing a questionnaire to senior managers and owners of the apparel SMEs from the developed and developing markets exporters. The primary data of 550 was treated by the partial least squares-structural equation modelling) technique for final analysis. Findings The study revealed EO’s positive and significant effect on SMEs’ export performance. The study has found the mediation effect of product, customer and brand differentiation strategies between EO and export performance relationships from the mediation analysis. In contrast, service differentiation has found no mediation effect. However, the moderation effect (export market category) has revealed an insignificant effect between EO and performance association. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study are based on one country data analysis. This study has been conducted in the SMEs of the apparel industry in Bangladesh, considering only owners and senior-level managers of the firms. Originality/value This research has drawn the attention of managers/owners to EO and multiple differentiation strategies enhancing export performance from the developing country context, such as Bangladesh. Multiple differentiation as a competitive strategy is the pioneer application of mediating effect between EO and export performance relationships. Moreover, this research has investigated the effect of the export market category as a moderator. Dearth research has applied the export market category to investigate the moderation effect between EO-performance models. Therefore, current research has theoretical and practical contributions to the international entrepreneurship and strategic management literature.

Uluslararası girişimsel yönelim, işletmelerin uluslararasılaşma fırsatlarını belirlemesini ve kullanmasını sağlayan, uluslararası girişimcilik alanında en çok odaklanılan kavramlardan bir tanesidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, uluslararası girişimsel yönelim kavramının incelenmesidir. Bu doğrultuda uluslararası girişimsel yönelim ile ilgili yapılmış olan mevcut akademik araştırmalar eleştirel literatür taraması ile incelenmiş, kavrama genel bir bakış sağlanmış ve ileride yapılacak çalışmalara yol haritası oluşturulmuştur. Bu kapsamda ilk olarak uluslararası girişimsel yönelim kavramsal olarak açıklanmış, ardından uluslararası girişimsel yönelim konusuyla ilgili 51 çalışma literatür taraması aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Çalışmalar öncelikle yayınlandıkları dergiler ve dergi türlerine göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Yıllara göre yayın sayılarının dağılımı gösterildikten sonra, yayınların araştırma yöntemlerine göre sınıflandırması yapılmıştır. Uluslararası girişimsel yönelim ile ilişkilendirilen kavramlar bağımlı değişkenler, mediatör/moderatör değişkenler ve bağımsız değişkenler olarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında incelenen çalışmaların çoğunlukla nicel yöntemlerden yararlandığı görülmüş; nicel çalışmalarda uluslararası girişimsel yönelim ölçümleme türleri ve ampirik çalışmaların örneklemi üzerine bilgiler verilmiştir. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda konuyla ilgili bulgular tartışılmış ve gelecek çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

This study examines how integrating the critical components of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can improve the adaptability of microenterprises by applying the Viable System Model (VSM). Given the crucial role of microenterprises in job creation, entrepreneurship promotion, and social cohesion, the need for approaches that ensure their success in turbulent environments is highlighted. We applied Social Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze a co-occurrence network to identify critical EO factors relevant to microenterprises and to understand how authors relate them to the structure of the VSM using a Californian microenterprise as a conceptual model. These factors include innovation, autonomy, control implementation, market orientation, and change management, organized into the five functions of the VSM. The results suggest that this conceptual framework strengthens organizational responsiveness in disruptive environments, promoting internal cohesion and more informed decision-making. Although the specific characteristics of each microenterprise require adjusting the VSM to their particular needs, this study provides a solid basis for applying the key elements of EO in the VSM, underscoring the need for further research to adapt this approach to different contexts to improve organizational agility in the face of exogenous shocks.
