Description of the research topic:

In nowadays’ world economy, SMEs increasingly internationalise through exporting, foreign direct investments and other ways. We carry out the analysis of their motivations, entry modes, timing, success, enabling factors, geographical scope of internationalisation etc. mainly through company case studies or surveys of companies. We can address topics such as: can we explain the internationalisation of SMEs based on theoretical approaches in the international literature? What can be the most important internal to the firm and external factors, which promote internationalisation, and what are the most important external and internal barriers? How can these be addressed by economic policies?
The expected outcome of the research is: detailed company case studies or comparative company case studies or analysis of company surveys, which can give us deeper insights in the internationalisation processes of companies; the interaction of these internationalisation processes with the capabilities and resources of the companies in question; with the industry specificities and with the institutional environment in the home and host economies. Through that, we can enrich the theories and the empirics dealing with company internationalisation.
