Abstract

This article focuses on the importance and influence of the internal resources of companies operating regionally and nationally (hereinafter regional and national companies) in relation to ongoing globalization and internationalization processes. The results of the research presented are based on a sample set of 131 companies from across different industrial sectors in the Czech Republic - 71 regional and 60 national companies. A two-choice test and Fisher’s exact test were used for the analysis. The analysis revealed that for regional companies, input logistics, production processes, output logistics, marketing and sales were the most important internal resources with regards to their influence on profitability, whereas for national companies this was scientific-technological development and the management of human resources. Within this context, it can be concluded that the level of importance attached to individual internal resources by regional and national companies differs considerably. In fact, it could even be argued that there appears to be an increasing disparity in their development. Against this backdrop however, we must take into consideration that the time for the formation of regional and national centres designed to improve and strengthen the competitiveness of Czech companies and generate added value is fast approaching.
