The study was conducted in three parts. The first part consisted in presenting the development and structure of investment expenditure. To do so, selected methods of descriptive statistics were used. In the second part, a synthetic indicator of municipalities’ development was developed. Also, an analysis of variance was performed to check whether the municipalities’ development level affects the investment level. In the third part, a multiple regression model was created to explain the financial determinants of investment levels. The analyses found that the levels of investment expenditure incurred by the municipalities were subject to variations. The differences in the cumulated values of investments proved to be statistically significant considering the development levels of local government units under consideration. A directly proportional relationship was discovered. The level of investment expenditure was positively impacted by the municipality’s own potential expressed as the level of own incomes and the operating https://doi.org/10.15414/isd2018.s6.07 ASSESSING THE SCALE OF AND FINANCIAL REASONS BEHIND DIFFERENCES... 1463 surplus.

The research that we came out was implemented by company KPMG Slovensko spol. s r.o. The research was attended by 1,122 respondents from 26 European countries. Further, we drew attention to current trends in family business in Europe, including the Slovak Republic and current trends in Slovak family businesses too.

The target regions are along the Hungarian-Slovakian border, since they are the least-developed regions and at the moment they are very far from the existing smart development concepts. Data/Methods: In this paper we intend to use desk research, we intend to give an overview on the smart development concepts in Europe including the target countries. In order to do this, we will do document and literature analysis. In addition, we intend to collect statistical data to see the current economic and social condition of the target areas and intend to find out whether these regions have the required resources to apply any type of smart development strategy. Results/Conclusions: The results can be very useful from regional and rural development point of view especially for the policy makers, since smart concepts are getting more and more popularity all over Europe, but such disadvantaged areas are far from being ready for such concepts, resulting even higher territorial differences. It would be necessary to define the minimum requirements and alternative ways for smart village strategies so that the rural areas could catch up with the more developed regions. https://doi.org/10.15414/isd2018.s8.11 INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC DAYS 2018 1756","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

There are various motives that encourage companies to implement the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Despite the obvious benefits of CSR, barriers to implementing sustainable business principles are prevalent. To present one implementation of the principles of responsible business, this article refers to the example of the Fundacja Wspólnota Nadziei foundation (Community of Hope Foundation), representing the non-profit sector. The Foundation and the Farm of Life, which represents it, meet the requirements applying to a socially responsible business. Therefore, it should strive to obtain the PN-ISO 26000 standard. This will help the Foundation strengthen its position and thus increase its credibility in social and business contacts.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

We compared success of students in partial exams in a differentiated way of teaching (contact teaching versus e-learning) in the course of Indoor Plants assuming the impact of their own motivation on the test results. The results here from revealed that students are generally not ready for e-learning self-study. A questionnaire survey was conducted on those students having completed the course of Applied Interior Design in order to evaluate the benefits of a practically-orientated project to increase their interest in the subject and the field of study. The aim of the project was to find out about growing demands of the selected range of indoor house plants, thus stimulating students to cultivate plants based on their own real experience. The results of the questionnaire survey point to an increase in students ́ interest in the practical form of projects, building of the relationship with the study field (and plants) and willingness of students to invest their own financial and material resources into the project. The project taught students how to think about the practical aspects of plant cultivation and care, provided space for confronting the acquired knowledge and experience of teaching, and helped to create a relationship with plants, which is crucial for application in the field of landscape architecture.","PeriodicalId":232846,"journal":{"name":"International Scientific Days 2018.

Obtained research results corroborated the Authors’ surmises that present system of agricultural advisory in Poland does not bring satisfactory results for farmers, particularly concerning the implementation of innovative solutions on farms. Farmers rightly identified increase in innovativeness as one of the main needs on the way to development of Polish agriculture. Moreover, they positively assessed including so called innovation brokers in the agricultural knowledge and information system.
