Abstract

In small firms, reasons for findings as about deciding to internationalize or not to internationalize the business are inconsistent. The explanation of the inconsistency findings possibly resides in the manager as the only decision maker in the business. The paper examines the role of small firm managers' characteristics in internationalization decision, i.e. whether decision to internationalize or not to internationalize the business is impacted by the manager's characteristics. Comparing characteristics of the managers whose firms were engaged in the international business activities results in conclusion that the characteristics studied did not play role in making an internationalization decision. Other characteristics that were not covered in this study thus need to be identified in further study.
