The objective of the dissertation thesis is both to identify characteristics of strategic management carried out in Czech smaller technological companies and to find strategic aspects and behaviours that determine performance and developmental trend of these firms meaningfully. The thesis is a study in the field of strategic management with broadly understood concept of strategy and strategic management. It makes possible to research the phenomenon of strategy both under circumstances of conceptual pluralism and fragmented findings in the field and supposed specialities in strategic management pursued in SME sector. The thesis follows an abductive approach which means that there are no hypotheses explicitly defined but searching for crucial and fundamental answering up to specified research problem. The thesis exploits empirical data obtained by the mail survey of smaller technological firms around the whole Czech Republic. Using a specially designed fuzzy inference system and performance parameters derived from empirical data the sample of the companies is categorized according to their developmental trend. Consequently, as the most effective multimethod approach, several quantitative and qualitative analyses are made and their results are synthesized in final findings and resolution of the research problem to reach the objectives of the thesis. Also the benefits for theory and practice based on the thesis are evaluated at the end. The results of the thesis validates both the fact that there are patterns of strategic management typical for the population of Czech smaller technological companies and the fact that there is also a casual relationship between the strategic management and the trends of their development.
