Design/methodology/approach: Hierarchical cluster analysis is used to identify these profiles on a sample of 5,181 firms. Differences between profiles are tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA) extended by the Bonferroni test. Robustness is checked with two-stage clustering and a multinomial logit model, which validates the results. Findings: There are four profiles of Colombian export firms that exhibit different behaviours depending on their structural characteristics, export intensity and export destinations: Globalised Industrial Leaders (Group 1), Agile Global Exporters (Group 2), Committed Regional Industrialists (Group 3) and Emerging Regional Service Firms (Group 4). Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature on export behaviour and its explanatory factors in the context of Colombian firms and, more broadly, firms from emerging countries. Identifying the profiles of exporting firms is helpful for entrepreneurs and public managers. 000170438 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S52-23R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-123154NB-I00 000170438 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000170438 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000170438 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9758-0149$$aRamírez-Alesón, Marisa$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000170438 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
