The purpose of this paper is to examine the theoretical relationships between corporate entrepreneurship dimensions and international performance. To achieve our purpose, we will address specifically two main research questions: How different dimensions of Corporative Entrepreneurship (CE) influence International Performance (IP)? And In which extent institutional context of the host country affects the relationships between CE and IP? Our study contributes to the literature in several ways. First, although corporative entrepreneurship generally has been found to have a positive impact on organizational performance, no research to date has explicitly focused on the impact of the different components of corporative entrepreneurship on international performance. Thus, this study complements and adds to earlier studies on entrepreneurial orientation and international performance. Second, we look specifically at how different contexts shape the strategic orientation of firms, where research on corporate entrepreneurship and international performance is to a large extent lacking. Finally, the link between CE and IP represents a theoretical opportunity to handle the differences and hierarchies among the variables in the way how they affect strategies and performance of multinational subsidiaries operating in different national contexts.
