    Regional disaggregation of industrial investment: The case of Czech Regions
    (Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Zdražil, Pavel; Kraftová, Ivana
    Properly structuring of industrial investment can increase the competitiveness and innovation potential of each region markedly; and results in welfare increasing. 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.

    Alternatives for evaluating a country’s economic development
    (Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Volejníková, Jolana; Řezníček, Jan
    Although 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.

    (Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Školudová, Jana
    Meetings 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.

    Collective risk model in heterogeneous portfolios of policies
    (Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Pacáková, Viera; Gogola, Ján; Zapletal, David
    The 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.

    Regional motivation differences of service sector employees in urban and rural areas in Slovakia
    (Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Myšková, Renáta; Hitka, Miloš; Lorincová, Silvia; Balážová, Žaneta
    Effective 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.

    The impact of corruption on economic growth on OECD countries
    (Univerzita Pardubice, 2016) Linhartová, Veronika; Židová, Eva
    The question if and how corruption can influence economic growth of countries is not answered by literature without controversies. 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.
