Abstract: Despite increasing attention devoted to international entrepreneurship, little is known about firm‐level entrepreneurship carried out by established small and medium‐sized enterprises (s) in international markets. We apply the opportunity‐based conceptualization of “Entrepreneurial Management” by oward tevenson to international corporate entrepreneurship activities of s. We hypothesize that the different dimensions of tevenson's theory have a positive impact on s' international corporate entrepreneurship. We test the hypotheses on a longitudinal sample of international s. Our results show the expected positive effects of some, but not all, aspects of tevenson's theory. Thereby, the paper suggests more precise boundary conditions of the theory and contributes to the literature on international corporate entrepreneurship by s.
