摘要：We aim to identify internationalization profiles of SMEs for the period immediately following the global economic crisis (years 2010-2013) and characterise them with reference to the firms' competitive potential during the crisis (year 2009),and their competitive position at the end of the analysed period.The study is based on a complementary data set derived from secondary (AMADEUS database) and primary sources of information (computer assisted telephone interviews with top managers) for 553 micro,small and medium firms located in Poland.We conduct a cluster analysis to identify different internationalization profiles of SMEs for the years 2010-2013.In the year of the global economic crisis ambitious investors on average had at their disposal substantially better competitive potential than the remaining two groups.Ambitious exporters were better equipped than cautious internationalizers only in terms of human resources,intangible resources and quality control.
