Investment Behaviour

The empirical study defines typical investment behaviour of foreign-owned firms against local firms and highlights benefits and any discrepancies of foreign capital. The paper focuses on industrial enterprises in Slovakia mainly from the automotive, engineering and wood-processing industry (N = 164). Results show the significant dependence of foreign ownership and better business performance compared with domestic firms. The performance was expressed through ROE indicator. Enterprises with the foreign participation of property achieve better performance, most typically with ROE above 10% (p-value < 0.05). The better performance, as well as distinctive feature of intangibles and research & development investments, are typically in foreign-owned firms. Intangibles and R&D as crucial investments do not directly cause better business performance in foreign-owned firms, and we discuss the reasons. The research results offer relevant and interesting implications for managers behaviour, also public authorities as well as motives for further investigation of the business performance management and foreign direct investment issues

Social And Economic Development

A business entity interested in long-term business, should realise innovations that drive business and are regarded as a tool to maintain competitiveness. A number of studies and research papers show that innovation has a significant role in the social and economic development. This paper focuses on innovation and information processes and their impact on overall business performance of industrial enterprises in Slovakia, mainly from wood-processing, automotive and engineering industries (N = 164). The business performance was expressed through Return on equity (ROE). The results point that these industrial companies from Slovakia have a strong focus on the systematic application of innovation procedures and specific business processes. Companies that use technological innovations achieve above average ROE value more than 7% (statistically significant dependence p-value < 0.05, the alpha level associated with 95% confidence level) and they need a system to formulate how innovation help them to survive and improve their performance. Keywords: Business process management, innovation, business performance, strategic management, industry.

Business Performance Management

Zarządzanie przedsiębiorstwem we współczesnych warunkach wymaga stosowania zaawansowanych systemów umożliwiających gromadzenie i przetwarzanie informacji do postaci użytecznej w podejmowaniu decyzji zarządczych. Możliwości takie stwarzają systemy klasy Business Intelligence. Systemy te obecnie są już szeroko stosowane w krajowych przedsiębiorstwach. Ostatnio coraz popularniejsze stają się systemy określane mianem Business Performance Management, które są traktowane jako kolejna generacja Business Intelligence. Istota systemów Business Performance Management dotychczas nie była szeroko prezentowane w literaturze krajowej. Część badaczy zajmujących się tą tematyką traktuje wymienione kategorie systemów jako tożsame. W artykule przedstawiono istotę systemów Business Performance Management oraz omówiono różnice pomiędzy tą kategorią rozwiązań i systemami Business Intelligence. Omówiono także elementy tworzące systemy Business Performance Management. Przedstawiono również metodykę oraz korzyści stosowania Business Performance Management w przedsiębiorstwach.
