Limits of the Uppsala model application in the internationalization process of Czech SMEs
Original language description
The paper deals with the limits of the Uppsala model application to conditions of Czech small and medium-sized enterprises. Based on the analysis and processing of primary data collected in 2010-2012 from Czech SMEs operating in various business fields,an incidence of so-called Born Globals was investigated at first, since this phenomenon is not taken into account by the Uppsala model. Furthermore, the Uppsala model assumption that companies first enter markets of lower psychic distance was verified; i.e. the markets which are geographically and culturally close. It was investigated whether this fact is valid for Czech small and medium-sized enterprises and researched if risk perception intensity of Czech SMEs'internationalization process depends on the number of years spent on the international market. On the basis of the obtained data, it is not possible to unambiguously prove that the basic principles forming a key stone ofthe Uppsala model are functional in case of the Czech SMEs.
