The study has three main contributions. First, this study defines EE according to speed, degree, and scope. Second, following RBV, findings show that internal factors, both personal—managerial export commitment-and those of firm—experience and structure—affect EE level. Using contingency approach, findings reveal that factors of the exporting firm's external environment also affect EE. Thus, competitive intensity and, surprisingly, market distances between countries where exporters operate increase exporting firm's entrepreneurship level. Third, this paper demonstrates that EE positively affects export performance (EP), both quantitatively (sales growth) and qualitatively (manager satisfaction).
