Abstract
ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to analyze the export entrepreneurship determinants and performance achieved by 70 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the engineering industry of Bangalore in India. The results reveal that export entrepreneurship is influenced by CEOs who are young, have high entrepreneurial orientation, and possess export market knowledge. The study also shows that export entrepreneurship positively affects the performance of SMEs. These results extend the existing knowledge of how SMEs can strategize their international activities and performance by utilizing the CEO’s specific attributes.
