Typically, the classical theories are based on internationalization patterns of firms from developed economies - the USA or Western Europe. In the search for potential differences, each major international theory is followed by its potential implications for CEE firms and relevant studies. The research objective of this paper is to study the major theories (current research) in order to test their applicability on the internationalization patterns of the Slovak SMEs (future research) given the nature of the origin of these companies coming from small, former transitional economy with low resources and negative made-in effect.","PeriodicalId":37422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eastern European and Central Asian Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44831948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike the widespread game-theory approach to explaining corrupt behaviour, this article attempts to describe corruption as continuous utility-maximizing problem. It comes up with a demand for corruption function, which shows how the readiness of a rational person to accept corrupt income depends on several factors such as official wage rate, severity of punishment, awareness of those penalties, probability of being detected and probability of being prosecuted.","PeriodicalId":37422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eastern European and Central Asian Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46816753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
