With the emergence of international entrepreneurship, there is a need for research which shifts from the case study method or the country-specific focus to examine the antecedents of international entrepreneurship across different countries. Using secondary data from GEM, this study examined the roles of perceived opportunities in the domestic market and the growth expectation of the business owner on the decisions to engage in international entrepreneurship. We hypothesized a negative relationship between international entrepreneurship and perceived opportunities and a positive relationship with growth expectations. Using regression analysis, we found support for both hypotheses. The implications of the findings are discussed.
