We conduct a systematic review of the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and international performance (IP), considering articles published between 2001 and 2022. Intuitively, one would expect that EO would have a positive impact on IP, and previous empirical studies support this notion. However, there is also evidence that EO is not always associated with successful IP. To further understand the complexity of the relationship between EO and IP, we develop three integrative frameworks that synthesize its mechanism. More importantly, two emerging findings from the retrieved papers are worth discussing. One of the key findings of our review is that there is an indirect relationship between EO and IP, independent of the direct relationship between these two constructs. Additionally, we find that different combinations of EO dimensionality and IP measurement can result in a diverse and complex relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and international performance. Finally, contributions, limitations, and directions for future research are provided.

我们根据 2001 年至 2022 年发表的文章，对创业导向 (EO) 与国际绩效 (IP) 之间的关系进行了系统回顾。直觉上，人们会预期 EO 会对 IP 产生积极影响，之前的实证研究也支持这一点。概念。然而，也有证据表明，EO 并不总是与成功的知识产权相关。为了进一步理解EO和IP之间关系的复杂性，我们开发了三个综合框架来综合其机制。更重要的是，检索到的论文中的两个新发现值得讨论。我们审查的主要发现之一是，EO 和 IP 之间存在间接关系，独立于这两个结构之间的直接关系。此外，我们发现，EO维度和IP衡量的不同组合可以导致创业导向和国际绩效之间多样化且复杂的关系。最后，提供了贡献、局限性和未来研究的方向。
