Abstract: This study examined the effect of entry mode strategy and firm-level capability on organisational performance of selected Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) manufacturer in Lagos State, Nigeria; more so, it investigated the moderating effect of environmental turbulence on the interaction between entry mode strategy and firm-level capability, and organisational performance. The cross-sectional survey research design was adopted with a sample of 452 employees of twelve selected FMCGs manufacturers in Lagos State, Nigeria. A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to substantiate the moderation-effect hypotheses formulated. Findings showed that entry mode strategy and firm-level capability have a positive and significant effect on organisational performance. Further analysis showed that the interaction term of environmental turbulence, firm-level capability, and entry mode strategy explained the increase in organisational performance with the introduction of environmental turbulence as a moderator. Beyond the performance-effect of entry mode strategy and firm-level capability, management needs to keep abreast of issues happening in the external environment and proactively position their organisation to take advantage of the environment's opportunities while reducing exposure to negative consequences.
