The study of the logistics processes for a selected object were based on the layout of the administration building, namely that of the Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice. The evacuation model, PathFinder, was utilized for the calculation and preparation of the logistics processes for the evacuation of people

Rural and Forest Roads – Logistics Platform for Rural Transport Services

This paper focuses on the historical development of rural and forest roads as part of the process of making rural areas serviceable. On the basis of a selected location of interest, the development of the rural transport, supply and service system (logistics service system – LSS) is illustrated within the context of the relevant production, economic and social potential of the area

Model to Predict Survival of Transportation and Shipping Companies

The article focuses on the issue of evaluation of economic sustainability of transportation and shipping companies. The economic crisis, which is currently abating in many world’s countries, has affected all industries, including transportation and shipping. This important sector of national economy with a multifunctional character has been influenced by the economic recession very significantly and its consequences are visible even now. For this reason there is a growing demand for methods allowing comprehensive evaluation of businesses. This article contributes to the topic by describing a procedure for development of a model for comprehensive evaluation of transportation and shipping companies. The model makes it possible to monitor, to evaluate and to signal financial health and performance of such companies. Finally, the model is validated and its predictive power is assessed. The proposed model is an output from research conducted by the Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice, Czech Republic

Foreign Direct Investment and Transport Serviceability – a Prerequisite for the Development and Stability of National and Regional Economies

This article focuses on the development and impact of foreign direct investment (hereinafter referred to as “FDI“) in the V4 countries and in particular Slovakia, with a primary focus on the automotive and electronics industries. A detailed analysis is carried out in the Žilina Region, where the positive impact of FDI on the economic growth of the region and its stability is documented through regression analysis. In the following part, the influence of both foreign and domestic investment on transport serviceability and transport infrastructure development is analysed on the basis of the example of the Region of South Bohemia

The Value Chain as the Basis of Business Model Design

The article presents a new approach to the generation of business models based on value streams. The originality of the study lies in the assumption that in every business model the generator of added value is the value chain which, if original enough, will maximize potential while minimizing costs. This approach will provide the respective enterprise with a high level competitiveness in the long term. The tested group of enterprises consisted of 354 SMEs, one hundred eighty-seven of which were from the manufacturing and industry sector, with 167 from the services sector. The novelty of this approach also consists of the integrated approach to the business environment in which the value streams were analyzed. The results suggest that the analysis of value streams is suitable for the projection of business models. In addition, the methods of dimensional reduction and logit regression have been identified as appropriate analytical tools, with representative results found valid and utilizable in business practice. The authors of the article are aware that this is only the first step in addressing this issue, one which will play a critical role in the gradual process of the upcoming digital transformation of all business models, not only those of SMEs in the Czech Republic

Parametrization of the enterprise capabilities of its multifunction, stabilisation and growth by means of the non-capital measures.

The work is focused on the issue of parameterization of the enterprise capabilities of its multifunction, stabilisation and growth by means of the non-capital measures. The basic terms and categories of this issue are characterized in the search section such as the agrarian sector and its position in the national economy of the Czech Republic, the common agricultural policy, rural development programme, the marginality, the LFA, the sustainability of agriculture, business multifunctional potential and its diversification, the financial health of the company, creditworthy and bankruptcy models. Doctoral dissertation tasks were solved on the file of legal entities in the South Bohemia region (229 farms - i.e. 1,504 statistical units) in the years 2005-2010, after the correction then on 214 agricultural holdings with the initial year 2010 and a scientific experiment was performed on 5 model enterprises with the initial year 2012. The main outputs of the dissertation are as follows: definition of zoning formulas, new theoretical defining business multifunctional potential including the methodology for determining business potential and its parameterization. Investigation was carried out on the test set of agricultural enterprises through models of non-investment measures, including subsidies; consideration was given to progressive increases and size degression. Variants of optimization (profit maximization and advantages of livestock production) were tested at scientific experiment on five chosen enterprises. The result of multifunctional potential parameterization process is also expressed in differentiation of the test set on creditworthy businesses and non-performing businesses and businesses falling into, so-called, a gray area. Solving the dissertation was connected to the state task of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Information (IAEI, Prague) in preparation for the new programming period, the Rural Development Programme for the years 2014-2020 and the government document Strategy of Agriculture and Food Industry of the Czech Republic

Use of the Value Chain in the Process of Generating a Sustainable Business Strategy on the Example of Manufacturing and Industrial Enterprises in the Czech Republic

This paper presents a method of generating a business strategy using value chain analysis. There were 186 manufacturing and industrial enterprises from the Czech Republic. The analysis was carried out using mathematical–statistical methods (dimensional reduction, logit regression and its transformation in order to objectify the opinion level of the managers) and with a neural network in terms of validation of the results of the mathematical–statistical methods. The aim was to determine the significance of different parts of the value chain in terms of their impact on the profitability of an enterprise and to demonstrate its important role in the process of generating business strategy. The significance for the profitability of the enterprises was statistically proven in the area of scientific and technological development, input logistics and human resource management. These parts were identified by the authors as the golden triangle of manufacturing and industry. Purchasing and output logistics were identified as the parts with a negative impact to the profitability of the enterprises. Strong underestimation of scientific and technological development by the top managers of the manufacturing and industrial enterprises is seen as a very negative finding. Neural networks showed higher statistical sensitivity compared to the mathematical–statistical methods (dimensional reduction and logit regression). They defined the value sector chain with the following structure (ranked from the highest degree of positive impact on the profitability of the enterprise): human resource management, scientific and technological development, production, input logistics, purchasing, material management, output logistics, enterprise infrastructure, marketing and sales, service and other supporting services. In conclusion, it is stated that the sector value chain of manufacturing and industrial enterprises will be further decomposed into value chain models of specific industries of the production and industry, such as engineering and construction, intended for direct use in different business entities to generate their unique value chains and corporate strategies
