Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Improving the quality of processes by using knowledge continuity ensuring(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Urbancová, Hana; Kříž, JosefIn the current knowledge economy the workers are the key competitive advantage and their knowledge is the most important asset in the various business processes. If people leave the organization they will take their knowledge with them and it can jeopardize the quality of the processes. This paper focuses on the topic of the ensuring the knowledge continuity as a tool for fluent improvement of processes in organizations. The processes and the areas were identified within the organization by means of induction. The processes are improved by using the knowledge continuity management. The benefits of the processes were measured by quantitative research, by using the questionnaire survey in organizations in the Czech Republic. One of the conclusions of the paper is that with correct knowledge continuity the quality of the processes in the organization can be increased together with the performance.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Information and communication technologies and their benefits for medium and large-sized enterprises(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Tichý, OndřejThe primary research, which is brought by this paper, focuses on medium and large-sized enterprises in sectors of information and communication technologies(ICT). It investigates their attitude to the ICT that they use. Based on these ICT, the article is looking for trends set by the companies. Then, these trends could be considered as an inspiration for companies from other sectors of business. The research results have shown that the specially developed software belongs between the most often implemented ICT tools in the last seven years by the questionnaire companies. The research also showed that this ICT tool of all, which they have implemented, is the most beneficial at a tactical level. Another part of analysis, where the companies should chose benefits that arose from the implementation, pointed out that they are focused on two basic clusters of benefits. The first contains: improved teamwork and increased efficiency and effectiveness. The other cluster contains: reduced costs, improved service quality and improved integration of business functions. The research also showed thatthe surveyed companies consider the ICT only as a tool, which simplifies work.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished The cyclicality of government expenditure and wagner's law - case of Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Szarowská, IrenaThe importance of government expenditure management has increased during the last years. This paper provides empirical evidence on the cyclicality and the relationship between government expenditure and output in five European Union members in a period 1995–2009. We use Johansen cointegration test and the error correction model and analyze annual data on government expenditure in compliance with the COFOG international standard. The results confirm that the government expenditure functions are procyclical in most countries (91% cases in the sample). Output and government expenditure are cointegrated at least for four from ten expenditure functions in every country (four in the Czech Republic and Hungary, five in Bulgaria, seven in Slovakia and eight in Romania) and it implies a long-term relationship between government expenditure and output. Average value of long-run elasticity coefficients is 1.72 for all expenditure functions, 1.16 for total government expenditure. Conclusions about the short-run relationship between expenditure and output are not unambiguous due to a relatively low statistical significance. However, the coefficient values (average is 3.14) confirm the voracity hypothesis, as they suggest that in response to a given shock to real GDP, government expenditure will rise by even more in percentage points.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Temporary employment as an alternative unemployement rate reducing new employment form analysis in Lithuania and Czech Republic(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Svedaite, Erika; Tamosiunas, TeodorasThe paper study identify temporary employment as an alternative unemployment rate reducing new employment form in European Union, Lithuania and Czech Republic.

In the basic documents of the European Union, which form the legal basis of the arrangement of the European Union is not the geographical jurisdiction strictly mentioned to the old continent. This enables further enlargement of the European Union outside the geographic territory of the European continent. In addition, the European Union has the possibility to use different degrees of integration, without the condition the potential states must be forced to be members of the European Union. Outside the European Union is mentioned the African continent and its selected regions, region of North African countries and the region of South African countries in this article. All countries (European and African) have been submitted by indicatory the Failed States Index, and with the help of indicators of World Bank Data Set has been processed in the time series, which are ten-years development in selected indicators.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Selected problems associated with modeling the biggest compensations in non-life insurance(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Poprawska, Ewa; Jędrzychowska, AnnaModelling the highest compensations are very important for insurance companies, as more and more policies now can generate high claims (for example third party liability insurance, property, especially connected to catastrophic events). In modelling extreme values of compensations paid by insurance company it is possible to use different models (exponential, gamma, Pareto distribution are most common) for typical values and different ones for the highest compensations (for example Generalised Pareto distribution). In this case however a problem of choice of the point, in which the change of the way of modelling is taking place appears. The paper is devoted to methods useful in choosing this point, that can be found in literature. Using simple example of the data, these methods can be analysed to find their advantages and disadvantages. All of the presented methods are mainly based on the analysis of graphs of selected parameters, which makes the results obtained are not strict guidelines, however, provide indicative results.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Human resource management under changes at foreign subsidiaries in Slovakia in light of regional comparison(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Poór, József; Vološin, Martin; Engle, Allen; Machová, Renáta; Karoliny, MártonnéA model of human resource management practices in the subsidiaries of multinational corporations in Slovakia was developed by the Central and Eastern European International Research Team (hereafter CEEIRT) – composed of researchers from universities from the Central and Eastern European Region. This model describes the changes of key HR variables in the light of different firm specific factors. Based on this model, an interview and on-line survey of top level HR executives at 22 subsidiaries of large multinational companies in Slovakia and at 267 foreign owned firms in other CEE countries was completed. The paper describes how these practices and roles have developed in response to the sweeping economic changes within the region and points out the expectations of practitioners for the future. Initially our article focuses on the analysis of previous relevant HR results and models. Next way we present an overview of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) development in new member states of the European Union, particularly in Slovakia. Besides the analysis of the FDI origin country the sectoral structure of FDI and employment practices in foreign firms on the Slovak territory is analyzed.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Decision-making on IPO implementation under conditions of uncertainty(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Meluzín, Tomáš; Doubravský, Karel; Dohnal, MirkoThe theory of corporate financing considers the decision-making on the implementation of the IPO as one of the most important decision-making problems in the life-cycle of the undertaking. In addressing this decision-making task, however, are often not known all the necessary information – the likelihood of each condition. In a situation where we know only the fuzzy probabilities of certain states, it is appropriate to use quantitative methods, for example fuzzy linear programming. The aim of the contribution is to show on a case study use of the decision tree for deciding on the implementation of the IPO. Case study is divided into two parts. In the first part are known all the probabilities of each state, in the second part is known the likelihood of only some of the states, moreover, these probabilities are entered quite freely.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Creating a context as the base for entrepreneurial support policy(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Mandysová, IvanaThis study advances knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship policy and lays out a path for policymakers to follow. It highlights some of the major challenges faced by governments in evaluating the impact of policies and measures geared towards producing higher levels of entrepreneurial activity and discuss the potentially conflicting perspectives of entrepreneurs, policymakers and service providers. In this study we present the findings of entrepreneurship support policy stated in author´s monograph including theoretical background of entrepreneurship support policy and its policy foundations and entrepreneurship policy framework. We discuss conceptual issues related to steps identifying entrepreneurship policy measures; the appropriate choice of entrepreneurship support policy options and several issues concerning the improvements of entrepreneurship policies and programs. We introduce the Context model for Entrepreneurial Support that may be useful to government in taking stock of its current policy orientation and to better enable the assessment of entrepreneurship policy across country. We conclude with a discussion of how to approach the development of an integrated entrepreneurship policy approach and the future implications of this for policymakers, researchers, and economic development agents.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Analysis of European Union cohesion(Univerzita Pardubice, 2012) Koťátková Stránská, Pavla; Lelek, TomášThe European Union is formation of 27 states at the present. The similarity of the EU member states with the nature of the integration process contributes to successful action in the diminishing of differences and creating a sense of belonging among together. The aim of the article is to examine similarity of EU member states, which can show the integration process success. The European Union should be a whole that can build its growth on the joint development of welfare in reducing economic disparities. The article examines if EU is not only disorderly group of states whose consistency is maintained artificially by political decisions. Politics has seemed to be the most influential representatives of the States in two last years. This implies the idea associated with the fact that in order to progress in the integration process, the individual member states are gradually forced to give up sovereignty in execution of their own economic policy. In the case of disorderly economic development in member states it can happen that, they cannot use the tools of economic policy in such way that is needed to address their own economic situation.
