Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the paper was to identify correlations between internationalization of companies and management staff’s skills related to achievement of a competitive advantage at international markets on one hand vs. financial results and knowledge-based economy on the other. The paper is based on a quantitative-qualitative study with a questionnaire filled in by 412 representatives of management staff divided into the following groups: management staff of the best companies listed in ratings vs. management staff of non-listed companies, and management staff of knowledge-based companies (which make part of the knowledge-based economy) vs. non-knowledge-based companies (outside the knowledge-based economy). The obtained results were analyzed statistically with the IBM SPSS Statistics package version 21.0. Differences between responses provided by two paired groups as shown above were calculated with a binomial test. Strength of the correlation between the studied variables was analyzed according to the concept of tetrachoric correlation. Meanwhile, trends in contingency table were analyzed with Cochran-Armitage test.
