Originální abstrakt

This article focuses on a justification of the meaning of the process of internationalisation of small and middle sized companies in the Czech Republic. We briefly outline the contemporary recognition of the growing role of SMEs in world economics before discussing the distinctive environment faced by Czech SMEs, mostly the result of the short history of SMEs in the Czech Republic. At the beginning of the economic transformation the SMEs sector did not exist at all and the number of foreign companies in the economics of the Czech Republic was insignificant. Since 1989 major changes in this sector have taken place. SMEs are considered to be the main driving power of the country s economic growth ad structural changes. The research project focuses mainly on three aspects that influence the position of Czech SMEs in the process of internationalisation and their competitiveness. The article briefly outlines the starting points on which we base our research and it focuses on a pre-research exercise carried out in 2002. In order to achieve the complexity of the process of internationalisation of SMEs it is necessary to take into consideration a longitudinal aspect and the results of this will be reported later. The results of the pilot stage of the project are reported for scientific discussion and critical response.
