  4. Abstract:
  5. This chapter aims at pointing out that how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as popular strategies which they are based on external growth approach have affected the performance of banks and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in the context of Iranian financial sector. In this regard, it has been tried to investigate in what way EO moderates the relationships between the performance of banks in one hand, and M&As on the other hand. For this goal, 114 participants including the top and middle managers of the Iranian banks were chosen to be closely considered. The research is an applied research and a cross-correlation methodology has been used to spotlight on the probable relationships between EO and M&As. Furthermore, partial least squares was used to analyse the data and test the model. Thus, the main contribution of the research can be claimed as; investigating whether EO performs as a variable moderator between the performance of banks and M&As. The results of the research reveal that, M&As have enhanced the performance of banks directly and indirectly, through promoting EOs. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017
