INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WEEKS – FROM CHALLENGE TO OPPORTUNITY

Article aims to analyse impact of project activities called International Business Weeks (IBW) on outgoing student mobilities at the College of Polytechnics Jihlava. The IBW network was established by University Paris 13 in France and Leuven University College in Belgium (now University College Leuven-Limbourg) 17 years ago to encourage finance/business students to apply for international mobility. The network of European business colleges/universities now contains 15 universities or colleges, College of Polytechnics in Jihlava (CPJ) joined it in 2008. The main goal of the paper is to evaluate the effect of IBW on Erasmus mobility at CPJ. Analysis of the data from CPJ information system shows that this impact has weakened gradually. The data also proved that the interest in IBW among CPJ students is stagnating. Partial goal of the article is to suggest solutions for the projects’ revitalization. One of the conclusions is that there is a need for qualitative research among the students about their motivations and obstacles of international mobility, with focus on the psychological profile of the students

Impact of the Regional Labels on Regional Develepment in Vysočina Region

The dissertation thesis is focused on regional food labelling schemes in Vysočina Region and their impact on regional development, from the consumers perspective. Chosen economic and social aspects were analysed: the quality and content of the information on the regional labels in media, preference of regional food among inhabitants of Vysočina Region, their regional food preferences and awareness of regional labels. The research was conducted in two phases. Content analysis of media aimed to analyse media presence and occurance of the characteristics attached to each regional label: VYSOČINA Regional Product and Regional Food Vysočina Region. The other research had quantitative design and aimed to determine level of awareness of the labels among Vysočina inhabitants. To test the ability of respondents from Vysočina Region to recognise and differentiate the labels, the author created non existent label From Our Region Vysočina. Media analysis of the Vysočina regional labels revealed that media may help build awareness about the labels as they have been informing about them continuously, but they emphasise that these labels signal above all quality and origin, diminishing special connection with the region and its tradition. The research of regional labels awareness showed that respondents do not pay attention to the labels as almost 24% of 819 respondents claimed they had already seen non-existent label. This could be a viewed as a sign of the food labels inflation with their rising number and very low differentiation it is impossible for the conumers to differentiate them and also that people do not pay attention to them. Further analysis confirmed that respondents preferences and views on the regional labels from the Vysočina districts differ

Food Labels (Quality, Origin, and Sustainability): The Experience of Czech Producers

Food labels allow producers to promote the unique selling points of their products and help consumers buy products with value-adding qualities. The aim of the present article is hence to explore Czech food producers’ expectations and experience with selected food labels. The selection was narrowed down to enterprises that had succeeded in the certification processes within the food labeling systems of European quality and origin labels (protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG)), as well as schemes that fall under the remit of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic, such as Klasa (Česká potravina/Czech food, Regionální potravina/regional food, and BIO). The research was made using an online questionnaire in January–February 2018, and was focused on determining possible discrepancies in expectations that the companies had before applying for quality/origin labels and their actual experience with the labelling systems, the benefits they had gained, and their overall experience with the labels. To compare the respondents’ expectations and their actual experience, both the non-parametric Wilcoxon test and t-test were used. The results show that the respondents positively evaluated the effects of marketing communication, but their expectations had been higher than what they experienced

Awareness of the Vysočina Regional Food Labels With Context of Their Media Presence

The article presents results of research study that focused on the recognition of the Vysočina regional labels among the consumers in the region in connection with media analysis about the topic. Research among consumers was conducted in each district of Vysočina Region (Jihlava, Žďár nad Sázavou, Třebíč, Havlíčkův Brod and Pelhřimov) by interviewing a sample of 819 respondents, selected by quota sampling methods. The research was aimed at analysing the ability of respondents to recognise and differentiate two existing regional labels VYSOČINA Regional Product®, Regional Food Vysočina Region and also nonexistent brand From Our Region Vysočina, created by authors. Data have been processed with correspondence analysis and showed that respondents connect different characteristics with the labels. Media analysis of the Vysočina regional labels revealed that media may help building awareness about the labels but they do not shape respondents’ views on them. Examining the link between the frequency of different types of information in media and their potential impact on the labels’ pereception by consumers have shown distorted image. Stronger consensus between research and media analysis have been examined only on importance of products’ origin, which can be viewed as a logical inference from the name of the labels
