“…Dasan (2013) identified Czech bornglobals, compared them with Russian companies and found that their performance has improved thanks to internationalisation, the main motives of export being the access to markets and long-term business growth. Zapletalova (2013) surveyed 203 internationalising Czech enterprises and found only a few among them conforming to the born global model.…”

A B S T R A C T Objective:The study goal was the investigation of relationships between accelerated internationalisation descriptors and antecedent firm-and entrepreneur-related factors in Polish and Czech SMEs. Research Design & Methods:In order to compare Polish and Czech companies, the data collected in two independent studies were used. The study of 233 Polish companies was conducted with the use of CATI method in 2014; 108 Czech companies were surveyed in 2013/2014 with the use of CAWI method. In both samples half of the surveyed SME-exporters were conforming to the accelerated internationalisation criteria. Findings: In both samples the "global vision" elements and company internationalisation scale and speed were interrelated. In the Polish companies this relationship was moderated by company size. There was the lack of strong positive relationships between innovativeness and internationalisation speed and scale in both samples. Implications & Recommendations:The managerial mindset has a decisive role for accelerated internationalisation in both Czech and Polish SMEs. The innovativeness of offering is not indispensable for fast foreign expansion. Larger companies may expand abroad faster if they have internationally oriented managers.

“…His findings clearly support the idea that internationally active SMEs perform significantly better than those who serve only the national market. The survey also revealed the importance of international activities for Czech SMEs -73% of the surveyed Czech SMEs were active outside their home country (Dasan, 2013).…”

“…The study concluded that the main factor which influenced the decision to use the global approach to internationalization was the level of knowledge of foreign markets. Dasan (2013) did not analyze Born Global companies specifically, but took a more general approach and investigated the internationalized SMEs in the Czech Republic and Russia. His findings clearly support the idea that internationally active SMEs perform significantly better than those who serve only the national market.…”

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are seen as a vehicle for employment generation, wealth creation, economic growth and development in countries that have a sound investment climate. SMEs, account for approximately one-third of GDP, over 50% of the value added, 99% of the share of total registered enterprises, and represent 60% of total employment in the Czech Republic. In the light of this background, the paper explores the infl uence of some macroeconomic variables on SMEs growth in the Czech Republic for the period 1995-2013. In order to assess the impacts of these critical macroeconomic variables (e.g., rate of unemployment, economic growth, credit provided by the fi nancial sector) on SMEs growth, we employed an econometric technique. Our fi ndings suggest a concave relationship between unemployment and SMEs growth in the Czech Republic. More precisely, it signifi es that beyond a turning point, unemployment is likely to slow down SMEs growth in the country. Our results further hint at a positive relationship between economic growth and SMEs growth. However, our empirical estimates showed an insignifi cant relationship between domestic credit provided by the fi nancial sector and SMEs growth in the country. The government of the Czech Republic should continue to provide an enabling investment climate and support for bolstering a sustainable SMEs development within the country. Similar to the extant literature, we have also implored the Czech government to do more with regard to the provision of easier access and aff ordable credits/loans to SMEs. We have also called for the reduction of bureaucratic bottlenecks that might have to do with SMEs legislations in the country.
