We tested our main hypothesis, that the involvement of mathematical knowledge into other parts of mathematics will improve a quality of students’ knowledge. When formulating the main hypothesis of our research we relied on both, the theoretical knowledge of the issue and the experience based on our own teaching practice.

Only high quality people named as the talents can create new values and lead company towards meeting the strategic goals. Talent management became a key component to business success in the current conditions. In our research we wanted to clarify importance of strategic approach in the talent management because whole talent management process must be in harmony with strategic orientation of the company represented by strategic ideas and objectives. In our research we verified the factors which influence talent management in companies in Slovakia. 381 companies were included to the research. Questionnaire with nine items and four classification questions was used as a tool for data obtaining. In all items Likert scale1-5 was used. We identified several statistically significant differences using parametric test (ANOVA). To consider results as robust we used also nonparametric tests (Kruskal – Wallis and Mann – Whitney). Economic results are the most influential factor of talent management. We identified even eight significant differences according to this criterion. Companies with better economic results have strategic approach to talent management on higher level compared to companies with worse results. Another factor that greatly influences the strategic concept of human resources is the allocation of foreign capital in the enterprise. Businesses with foreign capital allocation have better strategic approach to talent management.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

Investments in R&D and agricultural innovations have been fundamental to long-term economic growth worldwide. Recently, substantial shifts in the scientific basis have created a new and promising set of opportunities for innovation in agricultural. Every innovation is a new combination of resources, particularly ideas, skills, information, different types of capabilities, inter-organizational learning and knowledge, and specialized assets. Organizational innovations are as important as product or process innovations. The main actors in AIS in the Slovak Republic are Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Slovak Commerce and Agricultural Chamber, Suppliers and food processors. Investments in R&D and agricultural innovations have been fundamental to long-term economic growth worldwide. However, R & D activities remain weakly supported by the public and private funding in Slovakia. As the result, productivity of the Slovak innovators remains low as well. However, in Slovakia there does not exist any special agency for innovation in agriculture. The tasks of innovation are separated into an agencies and institutions dealing with research and spreading knowledges in agriculture sector. The need for innovation system must become more important in the Slovak Republic in order to facilitate farmer’s access to information and knowledges to achieve sustainable https://doi.org/10.15414/isd2018.s11.04 AGRICULTURAL INNOVATION, ADVISORY SERVICES ... 2301 and competitive productivity growth. There are many institutions in Slovakia that have path for innovation in agriculture. But there is a huge absence of advice and innovation for food industry. In the agriculture, cooperation between several different types of actors is seen as key to successful innovation. There is no specific national agreement about integration of knowledge exchange among AIS actors. The whole innovative process is provided by the foreign companies, especially in technological area. The process of innovation in Slovak agriculture is mainly based on workshops, scientific conferences and trainings, which is not enough. The need of change a policy in innovation and advice system is very much required.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

Paper's objective (s). The purpose of the article is to solve the following tasks: to determine the peculiarities of diversification of agricultural activities of agrarian enterprises and their impact on sustainable development; to specify criteria and indicators characterizing diversification of production activity; to systematize the factors of diversification of agricultural activity of agricultural enterprises and to determine its influence on the formation of indicators of efficiency; to substantiate the strategies of diversification of agricultural activity of agricultural enterprises and to determine its influence on efficiency. Data / Methods. When writing the article, data from official statistics, data from consulting institutes and own researches, scientific works of domestic and foreign authors were used. In carrying out the research, we used the following methods: economic and statistical in determining the dynamics, structure and performance of the development of production activities; comparative in assessing the effectiveness of activities and comparing the levels of diversification of production of agrarian products; calculation-constructive in substantiating the directions of diversification of production for agricultural enterprises. In the article the author calculated the https://doi.org/10.15414/isd2018.s8.19 INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC DAYS 2018 1870 Herfindel-Hirschman coefficient, the entropy index, the indicators of concentration and diversification of production in agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. Results In the agricultural sector, there is a process of vertical diversification of capital through the creation of vertically-integrated structures that combine the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products to end users. Calculated values of the entropy and diversification coefficients indicate an increase in trends in the concentration of production both in certain agricultural enterprises (egg and poultry, pigs, dairy cattle), and within the product groups (growing of cereals and industrial crops). The concentration of agrarian enterprises in the production of a particular group of agricultural products increases the risk of economic activity. Thus, in 2016 compared to 2005 there is an increase in the number of agricultural enterprises in 482 farms that specialize in the production of one type of agricultural product; 2 sp","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

In the paper we analysed regional differences in productivity and efficiency of dairy farms in Slovakia with regard to pooled sample technological frontier as well as with regard to particular regional frontiers over period 2004-2008. Technical efficiency and productivity changes were expressed by the Malmquist indices and estimated by non-parametric DEA. We used balanced panel FADN data of 106 dairy farms with prevailing dairy production. Dairy farms in all regions showed technical inefficiency, ranging from 11% in Western Slovakia (WS) to 23% in Eastern Slovakia. Western Slovakia dairy farms were the most efficient, with the highest level of technical efficiency and higher homogeneity of the farm performance. Differences in total technical efficiency, calculated with regard to both, the common and particular region frontier, result from differences in managerial efficiency rather than from differences in scale efficiency. We found only minor total factor productivity (TFP) improvement over the observed period. The highest average yearly productivity growth was observed in 2007 when the new programming period of RDP started and direct payments per livestock unit were introduced. The TFP growth resulted more from technological progress than from technical efficiency improvement and this technical efficiency change was driven mainly by managerial efficiency improvement. The highest TFP growth achieved Western and Eastern Slovakian farms, while the highest managerial efficiency improvement reached farms in Eastern Slovakia. Our findings suggest that policies designed to support improvement of efficiency of the Slovak dairy farm would have been desired.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

Their importance has been rising because of growing global problems and population. This is in particular the case of the global South – poorer, less developed – countries with weaker economies. In this respect, the concept of sustainable agriculture and its implementation in practice has becoming important. The goal of this paper is to present the need for implementation of sustainable agricultural practices in the global South countries, but mainly to examine the current perspectives of sustainable agriculture in Kenya, as a selected developing country, fighting with many problems of global nature. It is a country where about 35 percent of population are in age from 15 to 34 years, and where is a big need for effective sustainable agriculture practices. But to do so there is also a need to support young people in the field of farming. The article will then present the level of this supports from the government and in the context of international development through various mechanisms.
