Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Economic activities of the Slovak co-operatives in the years 2010 to 2014(Univerzita Pardubice, 2015) Šúbertová, ElenaOn 9th February 2015, 170 years passed since the first co-operative enterprise had been established in Slovakia. Co-operatives were developing through many stages and their importance at present is different than it used to be in the past. However, the mission of co-operatives has not changed: it is a long- term everyday care of both their members and employees. Currently, over a quarter of million of the Slovak population are either members or workers in one or more co-operatives. The housing and consumers' co-operatives have the most numerous memberships while various small producer co-operatives have the fewest members. For a successful future of Slovak co-operatives, it is inevitable to propose such solutions in the economic and social areas, that will meet needs of their members while taking into consideration customers' requirements. In the current fierce competition, the international collaboration is even more important than it has been before, because local markets are too small for profitable co-operatives. This contribution pays attention to the assessment of economic activities of the Slovak co-operatives in years 2010 to 2014.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished The possibilities of determining environmental impacts of economic activities in a region(Univerzita Pardubice, 2015) Šatera, Karel; Obršálová, IlonaThe paper deals with the increasing demand for high-quality information for management decisions about the consequences of economic activities in the territory.

Investing in artifacts, compared to traditional forms of capital allocation, is an alternative form of investment.

It was created in cooperation with the owners of small businesses. Based on brainwriting the competencies required for a crisis manager were generated. Decision-making method AHP was used for competencies decomposition into two levels. On the first level three groups were placed. The are called managerial competence, interpersonal and technical. At the second level, these groups were further decomposed, e.g. on competencies like leadership, strategic thinking, time management, financial management, resilience, independence in solving problems, team work etc. The respondents performed quantitative pairwise comparisons by Saaty's method.

This data represents a potential resource that businesses and citizens can use to enhance their own datasets or which can be used to develop new products and public services. Open data support the emergence and realization of the big data potential. While it enhances the volume and velocity of available data, its main impact is on the variety of data sources. This paper deals with the deployment of the Virtual Hadoop for the processing of the open big data idea in the public sector. The first part of this paper is based on the literature review of the cloud computing, the distributed processing of data, big / open / linked data and theirs sources on the web. The primary aim of the Virtual Hadoop deployment is to test the performance efficiency using open big data in order to obtain the direction of the future research.

The analysis of the factors determining Polish bilateral intra-industry trade employed an econometric model for panel data. This paper is focused on one of the most important factors in the development of this type of exchange, namely on economic integration. The survey results confirm that in the case of Poland, integration with the European Union turned out to be a factor influencing favourably the development of intra-industry turnover. The development of intra-industry trade was also facilitated by the fact that Poland's trade partners use a similar language, which belongs to the group of the Slavic languages as well as by a considerable intensity of trade with EU countries. The negative impact on the development of intra-industry trade was exerted by trade barriers and the degree of the imbalance of trade between Poland and its trading partners. The outcome of the research conducted confirms that the impact of all of the identified determinants of intra-industry trade is consistent with the assumptions of the theory.Článek Otevřený přístup peer-reviewedpublished Znamená samostatný útvar logistiky jiný důraz na spolehlivost, rychlost nebo náklady?(Univerzita Pardubice, 2015) Koutný, StanislavIn preparation for the broader topic structure of logistics processes was research done.

While a school of thought believes that accounting information are the major determinants of stock prices in capital markets, the other argues that the major determinants of stock prices are non-accounting information. This study therefore provides useful insights into resolving the contradicting arguments by analyzing some accounting measures (dividends and net assets) that Nigerian investors use in making investment decisions in order to take a standpoint whether or not, they significantly affect stock prices. Data obtained from the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book and Annual Reports and Accounts of firms listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2001-2013 were obtained and analyzed using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique. On the basis of the analyses, it was found among others that accounting information are the major determinants of stock prices in the Nigerian capital market. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended among others that capital market regulators and accounting standard setters in Nigeria should properly educate investors on the attributes of accounting variables across the industries as these significantly have impact on the prices of stocks in the country.
