Purpose: The study aims to bridge entrepreneurial capability, export market orientation and the international performance of international new ventures (INVs). Thus, multi-scale entrepreneurial capabilities have been adopted to provide more profound insights into the early literature on internationalisation. Since little is known about the antecedents of export market orientation, the performance outcome of this is ambiguous. This study aims to enhance knowledge in this pressing research area. Design and Methodology: The sample of this study consists of data (354 firms) from INVs operating in the apparel industry of an emerging economy, namely, Bangladesh. Structural equation modelling has been used to investigate the hypothesised relationships. Findings: For the Deshpande and Farley (1999) scale, the effect of general entrepreneurial capability on intelligence dissemination and responsiveness is positively significant. Similarly, the effects of international entrepreneurial capability on customer orientation, intelligence generation, dissemination, and responsiveness are positively significant. However, general entrepreneurial capability has non-significant effects on customer orientation and intelligence generation. The results also showed that export market orientation positively mediates the relationship between international entrepreneurial capability and firm performance. For Morris and Paul (1987) scale, our hypothesised relationships between capabilities and market orientation are positively significant, and, therefore, support the mediating relationships for both general entrepreneurial capability and international entrepreneurial capability. Originality/value: Merely having capabilities without acknowledging the firm’s strategic orientations is not sufficient to secure superior performance. We urge entrepreneurs to capitalise

重新审视创业能力和出口市场导向：新兴经济体的多尺度调查

目的：该研究旨在将创业能力、出口市场导向和国际新企业 (INV) 的国际表现联系起来。因此，已经采用了多规模的创业能力来提供对早期国际化文献更深刻的见解。由于对出口市场导向的前因知之甚少，因此其绩效结果是模棱两可的。本研究旨在增强这一紧迫研究领域的知识。设计和方法：本研究的样本包括来自在新兴经济体（即孟加拉国）的服装行业运营的 INV 的数据（354 家公司）。结构方程模型已被用于研究假设关系。结果：对于 Deshpande 和 Farley (1999) 量表，一般创业能力对情报传播和反应能力的影响是显着的。同样，国际创业能力对客户导向、情报生成、传播和响应能力的影响是积极的。然而，一般的创业能力对客户导向和情报生成没有显着影响。结果还表明，出口市场导向在国际创业能力与企业绩效之间具有正向中介作用。对于 Morris 和 Paul (1987) 量表，我们假设的能力和市场导向之间的关系是显着的，因此，支持一般创业能力和国际创业能力的中介关系。原创性/价值：仅仅拥有能力而不承认公司的战略方向并不足以确保卓越的绩效。我们敦促企业家资本化
