The intention of this study wasn’t evaluating the allocation of investment but develops the method of gaining the regional disaggregated data of industrial investment. Such data are valuable for further regional development analysis, nevertheless the two dimensional matrix of regional investment in industrial structure for many regions, i.e. Czech NUTS III regions is not available at the moment. The aim of this paper is to present the developed methodology of values estimation within the industrial structure at regional level; to verify this principle on the sample of Slovak regions and to apply the methodology on Czech regions over sixteen years period between 1995 and 2010. Due to many limitations and accuracy requirements of such an approach, the presented method cannot be applied to reliably disaggregation of whole regional industrial investment structure. Still we found an evidence to believe, that the method is applicable on the industries and industrial groups of construction; financial and insurance activities; trade, transportation, accommodation and food services; and public sector services.Článekpeer-reviewedpublished Otevřený přístup Alternatives for evaluating a country’s economic development(Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Volejníková, Jolana; Řezníček, JanAlthough real GDP is considered a key macroeconomic indicator for a nation’s economic development, various criticisms of its method of measurement and interpretation have been appearing increasingly more often. In the previous century, Simon Kuznets already expressed certain doubts. There are a number of alternative methods and proposals (or additions) to GDP for assessing the current level of societal development. This paper deals with comparing these alternatives. Attention is also devoted to analyzing empirical data concerning the development of real GDP and the Human Development Index (HDI). Data will be compared for the Czech Republic and the other countries that jointly entered the EU together with the Czech Republic in 2004 (the EU-10). The reason for this double comparison is to judge the development of this group of countries through the lens of the double comparison method. From the analysis we conducted, it follows that a country’s economic development judged on the basis of real GDP shows different characteristics than economic development perceived as satisfaction with a fuller quality of human life.Článekpeer-reviewedpublished Otevřený přístup Enterprise social networks as a meeting tool in the Czech Republic(Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Školudová, JanaMeetings are an essential prerequisite for successfully communicating and transferring internal information. The question is whether or not businesses in the present day are organizing and leading meetings effectively. The goal of this paper is to conduct a comparison of the requirements for effective meeting leadership with the current state of businesses in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the paper aims to answer a research question relating to the feasibility of using enterprise social networks for conducting company meetings. The goal of the survey research was to map the current state of the investigated problematic and its trends. The paper's methodology is based on managed interviews conducted in 2014. An overall comparison of the data that was acquired shows the current trends and points to a discrepancy between the requirements for conducting meetings and reality. The results indicate the possible use of modern technologies for more effectively conducting meetings within businesses in the form of enterprise social networks. The paper discusses the use of the latest trends and innovations concerning technologies that help managers effectively transfer internal information; it also outlines a concept for further research directions. The paper attempts to emphasize the fact that it is necessary to pay attention to modern technologies and embrace new, sophisticated tools for ensuring effective meeting leadership.Článekpeer-reviewedpublished Otevřený přístup Alternative sources of business development: Mezzanine financing(Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Sazonov, Sergey Petrovich; Ezangina, Irina Alexandrovna; Makarova, Elena Anatolievna; Gorshkova, Natalia Valerievna; Vaysbeyn, Konstantin DmitrievichThe purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the nature of mezzanine financing, its pros and cons, role in the system of investment activity in the world practice, as well as to assess the degree of adoption of the tool at the national capital market in Russia. The study lists multiple options of realization and tools of mezzanine financing with private placement. The characteristic features of this type of financial product are listed. Belonging to the mezzanine area of bridge financing is proved, as well as a new mortgage refinancing tool – "factory of mortgage-backed securities." The significance of the use of the mezzanine product in the state support programs abroad, as well as in Russia in the field of residential mortgage lending and co-financing of international transactions, was emphasized. The admissibility of various structures of the transaction and therefore its universality were determined as the basic advantage of mezzanine financing. The subjects of mezzanine capital were described, acting both as a lender and investor due to its specifics. The conclusion emphasized the limited possibilities of the development of mezzanine financing practice in Russia, mediated by the passivity of credit institutions, as well as the imperfection of the legislation regulating loan subordination and mortgage loan securitization.Článekpeer-reviewedpublished Otevřený přístup Collective risk model in heterogeneous portfolios of policies(Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Pacáková, Viera; Gogola, Ján; Zapletal, DavidThe total amount of claims in a particular time period, in actuarial literature named as collective risk, is a quantity of fundamental importance to the proper management of an insurance company. The article aimed to present the possibility and procedure to approximate the collective risk model in a heterogeneous portfolio of policies. The key assumption in all models for aggregate claim amount is that the occurrence of a claim and the amount of a claim can be studied separately. We will show that mixture distributions are convenient as the probability models for claim numbers and for claim amounts in heterogeneous portfolios of policies. We have derived that the negative binomial distribution can be used as a model for claim frequency and the Pareto distribution as a loss distribution model when the portfolios of policies are not homogeneous. The concept of mixture distributions is an important one in insurance, since insurance companies generally deal with heterogeneous risks. The motor compulsory third party liability insurance is an important branch of non-life insurance in many countries; therefore application of the theoretical results is performed on data from this field.Článekpeer-reviewedpublished Otevřený přístup Regional motivation differences of service sector employees in urban and rural areas in Slovakia(Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Myšková, Renáta; Hitka, Miloš; Lorincová, Silvia; Balážová, ŽanetaEffective motivation programme should be consistent with all facts affecting employee work performance. Well-motivated staff help the organisation fulfil its goals and lead to long-term prosperity. The objective of the research is to determine the level of employee motivation in urban and rural areas in COOP Jednota Slovakia. A questionnaire is used to collect research data. We supposed that differences in people values living in urban and rural areas do not change despite the increased urbanization of Slovakia in the 21st century. Moreover, we supposed that significant differences in desired level of motivation of people working in urban and rural areas still exist. Following the obtained results we determine the order of 10 most important motivation factors of employees in urban and rural areas and we suggest that the organisation focuses on mentioned motivation factors when creating tailored motivation programme. Findings indicate that, regardless of the operation-related issues, the motivation factors associated with interpersonal relationships in the workplace are the most important. Other important motivation factors are associated with finances and stability, but the level of preferences varies.Článekpeer-reviewedpublished Otevřený přístup Scenarios method instrumentation modeling(Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Meskiene, ErikaRapidly changing market conditions are strongly influenced by organizations development mechanism which are caused by economic, technological, social permanent changes.

One may thus encounter the view that corruption is "sand in the wheels" of the economy, which impedes economic transactions, as it reduces the security of property rights and contributes to inefficient allocation of resources. On the other hand, there are authors who believe that corruption is precisely what "greases the wheels" of the economy, because it allows individuals to avoid administrative and bureaucratic delays. Based on the searches results of the theoretical literature and empirical studies, this contribution verificates the validity of hypotheses about the negative impact of corruption on economic growth on a sample member states of the OECD in the period 1999 - 2014. Through information from the professional literature is for this purpose derived econometric model that provides a comprehensive overview of how corruption function in a selected sample of countries on economic growth. Econometric model proved that corruption negatively influences the economic growth, not only directly but also indirectly in selected group of countries. As the transmission channels through which corruption affects economic growth were confirmed household expenditures and net exports.
