The article summarizes major firm-level internationalization theories. 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.

This article studies corruption as a rational choice phenomenon. 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.

The ability to deal with cross-cultural differences has grown in importance due to the increasing number of Sino-foreign cooperation and the fact that more and more Chinese companies are investing abroad. The present study examines cultural awareness and cognitive cultural intelligence (cognitive CQ) of Chinese undergraduate students. The results show that Chinese undergraduate business students are moderately well culturally aware and they display average cognitive CQ.

This exploratory paper focuses its discussion on the 21 st century leadership skills graduates of university business schools need to have to be successful in the digital age. Common themes from the leadership literature are first identified. These are then compared with the requirements from: 1. accrediting agencies for university business schools, 2. national committees and councils, and 3. sponsoring foundation’s. Several common themes about the 21st century leadership skills for the digital age have emerged which have implications for curriculum review and development at universities. Last, questions are raised and suggestions are made for implementation of these common leadership themes in university curriculum content design.
