“…1). Some papers emphasized that family ownership causes stagnation and reluctance to risk-taking, our study refutes these statements and assumes that full family ownership contributes for striving for accomplishing the well-being of future generations, the knowledge about the company and the fi eld of business it operates in (Wiecek-Janka et al, 2016). This statement may form the basis of the hypothesis about the impact of family ownership on the performance in the future studies of scholars.…”

The purpose of research is to understand the current situation and create a conceptual framework of a family business in the wine sector in the Czech Republic. Under this purpose, the following objectives were set: to find out the viability and usefulness of competitive tactics which influence the performance of micro and small family firms in the wine sector. These main competitive tactics have been established theoretically and require further practical confirmation. Another important partial objective was to verify the viability of family influence on the business performance in the framework of the study. Due to the lack of a sufficient theoretical basis in this sector, the author of the article puts the question, which indicators are used by selected firms for each tactic and how these firms percept and measure their performance. The research has a form of pilot study. The collecting of primary data was carried out using face‑to‑face structured interviews with ten representatives as a typical micro and small family business in the wine sector in the Czech Republic with considered restrictions. Then the content analysis was carried out using coding method and Atlas.ti software. The coded fragments and expressions were subsequently compared among themselves for the identification and interpretation of central categories. This investigation will serve to determine hypotheses in the larger parent study, which will be verified using quantitative methods. This research confirmed the authority of the competitive tactics, familiness and its influence on the business performance; and confirmed ability for practical application in the established reality. Results of the study are useful for both theorists and practitioners.

“…Measuring the effects of educational programs on development of the economy (Srikanthan and Dalrymple 2004;Becket and Brookes 2008;Leung 2004;Cox et al 2010;Yokhaneh and Baghoumian 2014) and the evaluation of professional competences (Tigelaar and van der Vleuten 2014) has become a field of intensive studies in the past few years. Attempts related to both the development of a competence model with the use of mathematical methods (Wiecek-Janka et al 2016) and to increase the quality of training, among others through quality in the area of education, have already been made and described in various articles (Harvey and Knight 1996;Haworth and Conrad 1997;Bowden and Marton 1998;Tierney 1998;Srikanthan and Dalrymple 2002). Models of transversal competences, including entrepreneurship, were formulated in the literature and evolved initially in the context of its education, through the impact of entrepreneurship on learning processes, social entrepreneurship, and extensive models that take into account environmental and community factors and their impact on innovation and creating new value.…”

Transversal competences constitute a set of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for various positions and in different professions. Such competences include: entrepreneurship, teamwork, creativity, and communicativeness; they are increasingly listed by employers in different countries as the key requirements in the labor market. The article presents the model of accelerating the process of acquiring transversal competences, developed based on the analysis of data collected in four countries of the European Union: Poland, Finland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. In the analysis, multivariate additive regression spline method was used, along with artificial neural networks, in order to create the best model describing the influence of different variables on the acceleration of acquiring transversal competences. Herewith, we demonstrated that by accelerating the acquisition of the transversal competence of entrepreneurship is influenced by the following factors: rank of the training method in the developed matrix, student numbers and the weighted average of the pace of acceleration regarding the acquisition of the remaining transversal competences, i.e., teamwork, communicativeness and creativity by the given student. The results validate our new method of the acceleration of acquiring transversal competences by students. Students may be from various higher education institutions in different countries. Developed results may be used in the course of education within the framework of the already planned vocational courses and for developing the skills required by employers for various positions and in different professions.
