Abstract
This study examined the effect of entrepreneurial internationalization on the survival of
selected micro enterprises in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design
to gather data from business operators engaged in international activities. The population
comprised over 41 million micro enterprises, from which a sample of 400 was drawn using
the Taro Yamane formula. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires
and analyzed using linear regression to test the stated hypothesis. The finding revealed that
entrepreneurial internationalization positively influences firm survival (β = 0.746; p =
0.000). In conclusion, survival in the modern business domain is tied to the ability of
entrepreneurs to look outward, embrace global opportunities, and integrate international
strategies into their core business models, making internationalization an essential driver of
continuity in an interconnected world. The study recommended that entrepreneurs and
business owners of SMEs should actively pursue opportunities to expand their operations
into foreign markets through exports, strategic alliances, or digital platforms that allow
cross-border trade.
