Specifics of Management of Enterprise Innovation Activities in the Czech Republic – The Decision-Making Mechanism

Abstract

The majority of Czech managers are aware that the long-term competitiveness of the company depends primarily on the use of innovative technical solutions and investments in new technologies. Despite awareness of the importance of innovation, many companies do not know how to manage, implement, and evaluate them. Empirical research showed that most innovation firms implement, but do not systematically manage the implementation of innovative projects and the allocation of funds. There is a contradiction between companies’ ability to orientate themselves in the approaches available in the area of innovation management and the existence of a large number of approaches that can be used to address a particular type of innovation problem. A set of innovation concepts has been created to solve those challenges. Practical steps of the decision-making mechanism for selecting innovation concepts have been proposed. The decision-making mechanism is based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and serves primarily for managers of medium and large enterprises.

Analysis of Management Innovation of State-Owned Enterprises in the Context of Artificial Intelligence and Market-Oriented Economic Fluctuations

“…Because different values of the "smoothing parameter" λ lead to a different smoothness of the data for different filters, the issue of the value of λ has been the subject of controversy in the academic community. At present, when economists study quarterly data, they basically follow the findings of Hodrick and Prescott (1980, 1997) [12], where the smoothing parameter is taken as 1600. However, when studying annual data, the value of λ is more controversial.…”

“…Safeguarding capacity, on the other hand, refers to the ability to maintain national security and social stability through control of the public security sector. is interpretation of the control capacity of the state-owned economy has also been widely adopted by domestic scholars [12].…”

Alternativas De Melhoria Da Qualidade Nos Processos De Um Restaurante Sob a Ótica Das Práticas Sustentáveis

“…A ferramenta AHP (Lee, 2010;Ho, Dey & Lockström, 2011;Peterková & Franek, 2018;Ergün & Bülbül, 2019) foi desenvolvida nos anos 70 pelo matemático Thomas L. Saaty e tem sido utilizada em problemas multicritério com relevância complexa. Esta metodologia permite a solução de diversos problemas, incluindo a hierarquia de possíveis alternativas (Saaty, 2008;Min, 2010).…”

“…Para analisar as práticas sustentáveis no restaurante objeto deste estudo, esta pesquisa utiliza como técnica o modelo multicritério Análise Hierárquica de Processos (AHP). A ferramenta AHP (Lee, 2010;Ho, Dey & Lockström, 2011;Peterková & Franek, 2018;Ergün & Bülbül, 2019) tem sido utilizada em problemas multicritério complexos. Para este estudo, foram estabelecidos quatro critérios para análise das práticas sustentáveis: qualidade, custos, tempo e recursos.…”
