Sažetak
The main aim of this work is to close the research gap that is the
lack of a dominant typology of exporting firms in the area of international entrepreneurship (IE). It combines the principles of gradual
or stage approaches, scale and scope, with those associated with
international entrepreneurial behaviours: time to internationalisation
and speed. Latent class segmentation is achieved using a sample of
136 Spanish exporting firms to uncover the nature and characteristics
of the different exporters. The results enable us to identify four
groups of exporters: true-born global exporters, early international
and market concentration exporters, traditional exporters, and true
born-again globals. The differences between these four groups are
the earliness of their internationalisation, their pace of international
expansion, their development of strategies for diversification or market concentration, and their level of international propensity. The
results produce both academic and managerial contributions to the
field of export activities
