“…This fact impacts also on demonstration activities which are relatively on a high professional level. On the other side, farms with less than 500 ha and fewer than three employees have significantly worse information coverage [30][31][32].…”

The research was aimed at an overview and analysis of the demonstration activities in the Czech Republic dealing with the transfer of innovations for agricultural practice. Several methods were used to compile the national inventory, in particular the questionnaire survey method. The Czech part of the research was based on 30 questionnaires conducted among both farmers and agricultural organizations engaged in demonstration activities. The questions were focused on a specialization in agriculture, type of the management, connections with networks and their size, types of demonstration activities according to the types of farms and non-productive activities. The most common topics and purposes for demonstration in the Czech Republic are recorded for the category arable land with combined crops. Highly linked to sustainability are activities such as conservation agriculture on arable land with combined crops, root crops and fodders mainly due to a reduction of soil erosion within crop production and animal health management and welfare for dairy within livestock production. The Ministry of Agriculture has prepared a subsidy program to help farmers in the form of illustrative practical demonstrations of comprehensive sustainable farming practices. The main added values for the end-users, if the generated knowledge is implemented, are to strengthen the knowledge transfer system in agriculture, focusing on practical demonstrations and presentation of sustainable farming systems and soil protection in practice. However, the demonstration activities support mostly technological development and some individual ecological measures whereas the sustainability of agriculture as the complex process unifying the crop and animal production is not in the foreground.

“…However, according to Tyrychtr et al (2015) agricultural holdings predominantly focus on technical performance (more than 50 % of all companies), only then on financial performance. At the same time, share of companies targeted at the efficient economic agriculture is increasing.…”

Agriculture and food industry have become part of strategic areas for each country and each region of Europe. Important condition on companies in group A (according NACE classification) is fulfilling requirements of management in performance of financial area. Traditional financial indicators (calculated from accounting data) are still used to evaluate performance level, what have been considered to be the most appropriate approach over a long period of time in spite of different accounting and financial indicators. The main objective is to find crucial factors in the field of financial performance for agriculture companies in chosen region. Data from 10438 agricultural companies have been get from Amadeus database and analysed. For purpose of the paper there were used factor analysis, Pearson chi-square test for independence, and correspondence analysis. By application of factor analysis has reduced the basic set, originally formed by seven key financial indicators, into seven indexes according analysed countries. All observed factors were put into Pearson's chi-square test to indicate the dependency between indexes and (1) company size and (2) NACE classification. Finally, there was applied correspondence analysis, by which were found out clusters of countries, industries and size.

“…The survey by Hamranová (2013) also showed that only 22% of the companies have implemented the business intelligence applications, which confirms the low penetration of the implementation of these tools. Business intelligence applications have a justified significance also in agricultural enterprises (Tyrychtr et al 2015). The current business intelligence applications are all about flexibility, interactivity, getting in the shortest possible time and in the easiest way the most accurate information from which a new fact can be deducted; just to get a certain added value out of it for the management or decision making.…”

The driving force behind our modern society is information and information and communication technologies, which are an essential part of the infrastructure of organisations, enterprises. Their development substantially affects the economic environment and they are among the factors of prosperity and business competitiveness. Without information and the use of information and communication technologies, it is currently not possible to manage businesses, organisations and decide professionally. For an efficient management, the managers of organisations need relevant information crucial for an appropriate decision making. In all organizations of the state sector, the public sector, in associations and private enterprises, managers work in the following categories: top, middle and lower level management with an important mission -to influence the activities of the organization and its results.Information-communication technologies (ICTs) penetrate into the social life and on all levels of the economy, which changes the society into the information society. It can be briefly defined as a society in which the main focus is information and information technologies. The growth potential of organizations has become the information and there is an increasing need for a comprehensive, systematic approach to information throughout the whole society. The access to information cannot be achieved without using new ICTs, which include all technical, application and organisational means for the information processing. Abstract: Th e growing importance and relevance of ICT in business increases the dependence of business entities on ICTs, to which the managers of agricultural enterprises need to pay the necessary attention. Th e penetration of ICTs also aff ects the companies that do business in the area of agriculture. High quality and accessible information today has a strategic economic and social importance for the management of this sector; therefore, the use of ICTs by the company managers is becoming an essential part of their daily lives. In their work, the managers of agricultural enterprises most often use a personal computer. Th e intensity of the laptop use is increasing and thanks to the mobility and connectivity, smartphones are also getting ahead. Th e use of these devices closely involves operating and application software. Th e most popular operating system is Windows. In terms of applications, the managers most often use the most popular package MS Offi ce. Th e research involves an analysis of the intensity of the ICT use by managers with emphasis on agricultural enterprises in the Slovak Republic. Th e scientifi c article presents the results of an implemented survey focusing on the intensity of the ICT use by managers and the verifi cation of the hypothesis of a signifi cant infl uence of a manager's job position on the intensity of the ICT use in the company.
