400.Conclusion


Our empirical research has confirmed that certain business preconditions significantly influence success of enterprises. A positive development of profit and growing added value, as the indicator of revaluation of available sources, can be expected on a well-managed market, with high flexibility, its own dynamics (ability to adjust the range of products to the market) and under conditions of effective and economical functioning. These are the factors that increase performance of enterprises at the microeconomic level and, consequently, also at the macroeconomic level, with a focus on small and medium enterprises.

The achieved added values, based on the prevailing economic activities in the selected EU countries, were quite diverse which is also documented by different status and application of factors that affect growth of added value; the group of countries consisted of more successful ones with high added values, such as Sweden, Belgium, Denmark and Finland, and countries with poorer results, such as the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Monitoring of most of the factors that affect growth of added value has confirmed this division and indirectly explained why strengthening of some of the factors may improve the situation. The key factors we have selected included the ratio of total added value to the turnover, research and development expenditure expressed as a percentage of GDP, structure of the sources used for research and development expenditures from the viewpoint of sectors and their shares, and also the number of European patent applications. A specific group of factors includes labor productivity in EUR per hour and per employee, along with the average number of hours worked per one week. The last group of factors focused on investments where we monitored net return (after tax) on equity and rate of gross investments.

Growth of efficiency of economic processes, added value and overall business success in small and medium enterprises in the Czech Republic and Slovakia depends on selection of the right sphere of business, application of research and development, as well as on adequate investments and cooperation between individual sectors or on the level of investment activity.

0 A complete taxonomy of support instruments may be difficult to compile due to the plethora of different forms and tools that can be used. Typically public support to R&I may be channelled through: competitive grant schemes for R&I; innovation support services; support to start-ups, incubators, tech-parks, etc.; collaborative R&D programmes; financial instruments, including direct or indirect equity investments; tax incentives or credits; etc.

0 A wealth of literature and scientific publications provide analysis and arguments for the validity of public support to R&I:

OECD, (2015), “Governance and Implementation of Innovation Policies”

OECD, (2015), “The Innovation Imperative: Contributing to Productivity, Growth and Well-Being”

0 While third countries’ eligibility to participate in EU funding programmes varies according to the specific programme (and sub-programme), in most programmes the following are generally eligible:

  • Countries of the European Economic Area (EEA);

  • Countries at various stages of accession to the Union (candidate and potential candidates countries);

Countries interested by the European Neighbourhood Policy (i.e. border the EU, southward and eastwards)

0 Authors are familiar with the fact, that there are various legal forms of business entities and therefore the actual amount of days required to start business may differ. However since this indicator is comparable across V4 countries we use it as a proxy variable for bureaucratic barriers of potential entrepreneurs with all its limitations

This makes it accessible to all customers, regardless of devices. On the website, there is an indication to the current response status with response times.

0 This includes, for example, the automated setting of the imprint, customer service applications with unique content of agents and a defined tab for videos from the YouTube channel of the Allianz.

0 EMES is an abbreviation for a French title of an extensive research focusing on the Emergence of Social Enterprises in Europe, 1996–1999. It originally identified a network of researchers within a research programme financed by the European Commission. Title of the research programme was quoted in projects dealing with social enterprises and social economy and later became a title of an international network. The society is aimed at linking knowledge of existing university research centres active in the area social economy and at gradual development of a European database of theoretic and empiric knowledge on social economy.

0 Buyouts resulting in a fund becoming the majority shareholder. Buyouts often comprise a company’s management whose shares are expected to provide incentives to work more efficiently. It is a common practice to access new markets, perceived as an opportunity for the acquired company to develop fast and allowing it to catch up quickly with other companies in the sector that have a competitive advantage in a particular area of economic activity.

0The most popular division in the EU-28 refers to the number of employees: a micro-entrepreneur employs 0–9 people, a small entrepreneur 10–49, a medium-sized one 50–249 and a large entrepreneur more than 250 people. According to the EVCA data, investors attracted by funds, nonetheless, prefer the following breakdown: 0–19; 20–99; 100–199; 200–249.

0 More precisely, early-stage entrepreneurs are defined as individuals aged 18-64 who are either currently actively involved in setting up a business they will own or co-own, or have already started a business but this business has not paid any wages or salaries etc. for more than 42 months. This is the definition used in the GEM project.

0 This may be explained by the fact that already before the outbreak of the economic crisis, in France, a comparably high unemployment rate was mixed with unfavorable institutional conditions for business start-ups and low trust in own capabilities to start a business among French.

0 Similar results are obtained from a model replacing the macro-level variables by country dummies and a multi-level model (not shown here). However, a likelihood-ratio test demonstrates that a multi-level specification is not necessary in our case. It may also be flawed due to the low number of observations on level-2 and their non-random selection.

In order for an individual to qualify as an accredited investor, he or she must accomplish at least one of the following:

1) earn an individual income of more than $200,000 per year, or a joint income of $300,000, in each of the last two years and expect to reasonably maintain the same level of income.

2) have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with his or her spouse.

3) be a general partner, executive officer, director or a related combination thereof for the issuer of a security being offered. An employee benefit plan or a trust can be qualified as accredit investors if its total assets are in excess of $5 million.

0 Patents are granted to inventors, i.e. to technical solutions which are results of inventor´s activities and which are new worldwide and can be utilized in the industry. This means that patentable inventions do not include discoveries or scientific theories, mathematical methods, aesthetic creations, plans, regulations and methods of performance of mental work, provision of information, computer programs, new plant and animal species or treatment methods for humans and animals.

0 The European patent applications relate to applications for protection of inventions submitted either directly to the European Patent Office (EPO), or under the Patent Cooperation Treaty(PCT) and designed for EPO (Euro-PCT). The applications are counted regardless of whether the patent was granted or not. The data indicate the total number of patent applications for the individual countries. In case of several inventors from several countries the applications are counted proportionately to avoid duplicity.

0 The average number of hours corresponds to the number of hours normally worked by a worker. This includes all worked hours , including extra hours, either paid or unpaid. The number does not include time spent traveling between home and workplace or lunch break.

0 is defined as net entrepreneurial income (code ESA 2010: B.4n) minus usual taxes on the income (D.5PAY) divided by shares / certificates of investment from investment funds (AF.5) - liabilities. Detailed data and methodology are available at http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/sectoraccounts

0 The rate of gross investment of non-financial enterprises is defined as created gross fixed capital (code ESA 2010:P.51g) divided by gross added value (B.1g). This ratio relates investments made by non-financial enterprises into long-term assets (building, machinery etc.) to the added values created by the production process. Detailed data and methodology are available at: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/sectoraccounts
