Abstract. Many firms in transition economies are faced with the increasing internationalization processes, which present both opportunities and threats for SMEs. The project on which this paper is based is concerned with the effects of a variety of internationalization processes. Apart from an internationalization of markets, these include the internationalization of production, the internationalization of capital, the internationalization of human capital and the internationalization of regulatory regimes, which govern the conditions in which products are produced and sold. In the paper, we will focus mainly on the effects of an increasing internationalization of markets, highlighting the nature and extent of the competitiveness of SMEs in the surveyed countries in foreign and domestic markets.

INTERNACIONALIZACIJA  TRŽIŠTA PUTEM SME -
NEKI REZULTATI MEĐUNARODNE KOMPARATIVNE STUDIJE
Veliki broj preduzeća u privredama u tranziciji suočen je sa rastućim procesima internacionalizacije, koji predstavljaju istovremeno i mogućnosti ali i opasnosti za primenu SME. Projekat koji je predmet analize ovog rada odnosi se na efekte različitih procesa internacionalizacije. Pored internacionalizacije tržišta, ovi procesi uključuju i internacionalizaciju proizvodnje, internacionalizaciju kapitala, internacionalizaciju ljudskog kapitala i internacionalizaciju regulativnih normi, čime se stvaraju i regulišu uslovi proizvodnje i prodaje proizvoda. U radu ćemo se fokusirati uglavnom na efekte rastuće internacionalizacije tržišta, analizirajući prirodu i širinu konkurentnosti SME na stranim i domaćim tržištima zemalja koje su predmet istraživanja.
