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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S52-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-123154NB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ramírez-Alesón, Marisa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9758-0149 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
