Social Capital Theory and the internationalisation process of Czech SMEs
by David Pollard, Maria Jemicz
International Journal of Economics and Business Research (IJEBR), Vol. 2, No. 3/4, 2010

Abstract: The process and rate of internationalisation of Czech SMEs has recently been affected through the country's accession to the EU. It seems appropriate, therefore, to re-assess the internationalisation processes of Czech SMEs and potential barriers to their entering foreign markets. The aims of this conceptual paper are two-fold; the first is to critically examine the relevant literature regarding the internationalisation process of SMEs in transformation economies in general and the Czech Republic in particular. Secondly, this paper contributes to the SME internationalisation debate by arguing for the inclusion of a Social Capital Theory (SCT) perspective.
