Internationalization of Family-Owned Businesses in The Czech Republic
Original language description
This research used a case-study method, through personal interviews with owners of seven family-owned firms in the Czech Republic in order to determine factors affecting their internationalization. It examined four research questions on factors which have been identified by previous research to influence internationalization of familyowned firms. While owners? background, such as age, education, and knowledge of foreign languages did not contribute to the internalization of their firms, owners? motiveshave an affect on their decision to enter foreign markets or not. We also found that firm characteristics, such as size but not product characteristics, are contributing factors in family-owned businesses decision to enter foreign markets. Furthermore, we examined owners? knowledge of their top international markets. Our results concluded that knowledge of foreign markets is not a necessary condition for internationalization of family-owned firms.
