Central European Business Review, 2017, vol. 2017, issue 3, 51-61

Abstract: Realization of international entrepreneurial activities is a significant step influencing the business strategy of each enterprise. The paper raises the question of which internal factors, particularly human resources, influence the decisions on the realization of international entrepreneurial activities in Czech family SMEs. The objective of the paper is to determine the effect of selected internal factors on the decisions on the realization of international entrepreneurial activities by Czech family SMEs. The enterprises included in the study are those Czech family SMEs that have already undertaken internationalization activities and were established in the Czech Republic. The research study includes 246 Czech family SMEs. The method included oral questioning and a questionnaire as the principal instruments applied for researching the relationship between human resources and decision making. The results of the research study show the significant influence of human resources on the decision in Czech family SMEs.
