Jednotlivé texty autorů z Česka, Slovenska a Polska reprezentují širokou paletu přístupů ke zkoumání procesů a jevů v území a nabízejí rozličné metodické přístupy k jejich analýze a způsobu řešení. Jelikož se jedná o sborník předkonferenční, nelze na tomto místě zprostředkovat bezprostřední emoce, které prezentace příspěvků a následná diskuze přinesly. To však jistě není potřebné, neboť si při studiu kvalitních odborných textů jistě utvoříte vlastní názor. Je pravděpodobné, že mnohé myšlenky poslouží jako inspirace k dalšímu výzkumu, k případné spolupráci, či formulaci odlišných závěrů, návrhů či doporučení. Jsme samozřejmě velmi rádi, že obliba našeho kolokvia neklesá a že si mnozí z jejich účastníků červnový termín již rutinně rezervují. Je to důkazem toho, že se nám daří vytvářet významný prostor pro vysoce kvalifikovanou diskuzi, která je všeobecně obohacující a přínosná.

The main goal of the paper is to focus on relationship between business cycle under regional entrepreneurial culture. Many of the trends found were less than positive, although there were some new positive trends that could be identifi ed as a source of sustainability in the area of the connection between the sector of small and medium sized enterprises and the local entrepreneurship environment as well as a source of entrepreneurial culture. Moreover, the frequency of co-operational activities with local government was investigated. Questionnaire-based research was undertaken within 194 organizations of various legal forms operating in the area of the Moravian-Silesian Region. The main factors, which had an infl uence on their current business stage (49.5% in the growth stage, 9.8% in stagnation, 31.96% in decline and the other 0.52% in crisis), were the locality in the region, the quality of the labour force, cooperation with local public bodies and the business relationships between suppliers. Finally, we have defi ned the current stage of the entrepreneurial culture as the "Sandbox".

This article deals with the results of two independent primary research studies in the field of the reinvestment activities of companies aimed at supporting employee education and training. Attention is focused on the reinvestment activities of companies and the direction of investment funds to individual areas with an emphasis on employee education and training. The article compares the situation before and after the first wave of the Corona crisis in the Czech Republic. Information on the structure and volume of corporate reinvestment is presented, as is information on reinvestment in employee development through selected training methods. The chi-square test was used for statistical analyses.

The chapter deals with factors that may affect the willingness to do business. Factors such as business economics knowledge, the desire for freedom and success, the appetite for risk taking and organizational skills are examined as the pillars of potential businesses. Analysis of the factors shows the influence on business establishment. The chapter is based on primary data collection from a recent survey from the Czech Republic and on comparison with international resources focused on aspects which influence the business establishment. The results indicated relationships between above mentioned factors and their effects on business establishment. Implications of these results, as well as directions for future research, are discussed.

Research background: Human resource management is a process that includes several consecutive phases. Employee performance evaluation is one of them. It is a starting point for rewarding employees as well as for several other personnel activities, such as personnel planning, job analysis, employee deployment, and more. The company may approach the evaluation of employee performance itself in different ways. Employee performance can be evaluated in different ways and with different frequencies. The setting up of the employee performance evaluation system is based on global and local conditions, corporate culture, and the needs of the company's management. Purpose of the article: The article aims discuss the approach of the companies in the Czech Republic to the evaluation of employee performance and to evaluate whether or not there have been any changes in this system due to the global pandemic COVID-19. Methods: The starting point of our research is quantitative data on companies in the Czech Republic, obtained by a questionnaire survey immediately before the COVID-19 pandemic and after its first year. Using the chi-square test the attitudes of these companies to the evaluation of employee performance and their changes as a result of COVID-19 are evaluated. Findings & Value added: Conclusions are drawn regarding changes in the system of employee performance evaluation, the method of implementation and frequency of evaluation, and its use in personnel work in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AbstractcBackground and Purpose: Part-time employment could be seen as a modern form of employment or a type of innovative organizational change. The average share of part-time jobs in the Czech Republic in the observed period of 2004-2016 was 3.9 % according to the OECD, in comparison to the average OECD value of 16.6%. The main question to arise was, are there any regional differences? The presented conclusions are based on a regional study in the Moravian-Silesian Region (MSR) in the Czech Republic where the median value of part- time jobs is 10%. The main goal is to evaluate the regional level of part-time job offers and identify the main opportunities and obstacles which cause the low number of these job positions. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper is based on a quantitative study using a questionnaire-based survey, comprising 215 respondents - owners of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic. The survey consists of 16 questions in three main areas: (i) Entrepreneurial motivation (1 item), (ii) External factors - Labour market problems (4 items), and (iii) Internal factors. Secondary information such as the results of earlier studies and regional government websites were used for data results comparison. All variables are compared in the context of the branch of business, number of employees, turnover, and age. Finally, a factor analysis was used to find the main way how to improve part-time job offers. Results: The variety of businesses and different regional locations opens up space for discussion regarding parttime job support. A factor analysis found five significant issues, which could affect local labour market and company behaviour. Conclusion: The added value of the paper can be seen in the factor identification, where internal willingness to support part-time employment and qualification growth as organizational change must be in first place.
