Abstract

Entrepreneurs evaluate the feasibility of future export opportunities according to individual-level factors and perceived environmental conditions. However, because individual entrepreneurs are heterogeneous in their characteristics, previous experiences, and perceptions of environment, entrepreneurs will differ in their evaluations of internationalization feasibility. In this paper, we investigate whether and how one relevant source of entrepreneur heterogeneity, i.e., migrant condition, impacts the perceived feasibility of exporting opportunities. Drawing on rich primary data collected from a matched-pair sample of 71 immigrant and 69 native entrepreneurs active in non-internationalized new technology-based firms in Italy, we find that the migrant condition positively moderates the relationship between perceived financial public support and perceived feasibility of exporting, whereas it negatively moderates the relationship between international business skills and perceived export feasibility. We discuss the implications of these findings for research and policy in the area of international entrepreneurship.

NTBFs are defined with reference to the OECD definition of “technology intensive” industries according to their average R&D intensity. NTBFs can belong to “High-Tech” (R&D intensity above 8.5%) or “Medium-Tech” (R&D intensity between 3.5 and 8.5%) industries (Almus and Nerlinger 1999).

We considered the possibility that our scale for perceived regulatory support could average out perceptions about home country regulations and foreign country regulations. In fact, the two items could have different effects on the perceived feasibility of exporting. Therefore, in additional analyses, we tested the effects of these two items by entering them separately into the regression equation. However, we did not find any significant result.
