Conclusion:

This paper has contributed to research on entrepreneurship and internationalization by conducting a study of the impact of a firm’s entrepreneurial posture on its international activities. The findings suggest that a firm’s entrepreneurial posture may have positive effects on its international activities, but also indicate that international activities are not as entrepreneurial as it used to be as markets have become increasingly integrated and global.

Research and literature on internationalization predict an acceleration of international business activities in the 21st century as firms increasingly seem to pursue more active strategies that involve international activities (McDougall and Oviatt, 2000; OECD, 1997; Reynolds, 1997). The near future consequently provides rich opportunities for continued studies in the intersection between entrepreneurship and a firm’s international activities.
