Abstract：Based on upper echelons theory and subjective time perspective, this study takes Chinese A-share listed companies in manufacturing industry from 2006 to 2021 as research samples to explore the impact mechanism of different dimensions of the manager’s temporal focus on the international expansion of the enterprise and analyze the moderating effect of customer concentration and firm age on the above relationship. We find that：The present focus of the manager negatively affects the international expansion of the enterprise, whereas the future focus of the manager positively affects the international expansion of the enterprise; The customer concentration strengthens the relationship of the present focus and the international expansion, and weakens the relationship of the future focus and the international expansion; The firm age weakens the relationship of the present focus and the international expansion, and strengthens the relationship of the future focus and the international expansion.
