The paper presents a proposal of the Activity Balance Scorecard (ABSC). It is a combination of Activity Based Costing and a modification of Activity Based Management. Contrary to the traditional cascading of the Balanced Scorecard to organisational structures, ABSC is constructed directly for...

The paper presents historical development of the categorical data analysis for models with explicit response variables defined as well as models without such a distinction. Besides difficulties in model building we focus on methods and procedures for model testing and for the estimation of model...

The paper presents the diversity of the transport infrastructure development in new EU members and countries aspiring to that organisation. Directions and the tempo of this phenomenon transformation are considered, as well. A statistical analysis is employed to characterise multivariate...

The article presents basic approaches to statistical estimation of the Product Life Cycle (PLC) market model: a) when data doesn’t include all phases of the cycle (incomplete data), b) when data includes all phases of the cycle. The author describes the problems with estimation of the full and...

In this article, an attempt has been made to compare two methods of determining potential span of control, that is, the Stieglitz method and the Graicunas method. It appears that the application of those two approaches leads to similar ramifications. They both have essential failures, which fact...

This paper considers dynamic efficiency and income distribution using an overlapping generation model of economic growth. The issues discussed within this framework intend to shed light on an ongoing debate in most developed countries: the reform in funding the retirement pension schemes....

The article deals with the testing of the weak form of efficiency on Czech and Slovak stock market during the period 2000–2004 based on daily returns representing index PX50 and SAX30 in the form of martingale as well as in the form of random walk. Concerning functional model forms of...

The author presents again examples of activity-on-arcs networks already given in her previous contribution which revealed that in some cases the algorithm based on the critical path method with a time-cost analysis (CPM-COST) does not provide any optimal solution. The author also presents other...

The article analyses the most popular methods for the empirical estimation of the relationship between bank profitability and liquidity. Owing to the fact that profitability depends on various factors (both economic and non-economic), a simple correlation coefficient, two-dimensional...

The paper investigates a barrier in the functioning of certain inventory system. Assuming that the storage input is a non-aggregated dynamic-parameter process, the paper derives a system of differential equations satisfied by the probabilities of a lower-limit barrier in subsysyem L. The system...
