This paper presents a comparative analysis of size-specific profitability values among SMEs and large firms within the Czech and German manufacturing sectors. The data used were extracted from the BACH database of the European Union and cover the latest ten-year cycle (from 2008 to 2017). As with previous research in this field, an analytical model of common financial and accounting ratios is used to derive characteristic effects on profitability of empirically observed driver variables, including taxes, debt financing, asset structures and other aspects of operating profits. Structural differences in these underlying factors are tested for significance and are quantified to measure their impact on profitability. This approach provides valuable insights into the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the different size groups for the two countries. It presents effective starting points for specific benchmarking and the improvement of profitability.","PeriodicalId":30792,"journal":{"name":"Trendy v podnikani","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69084512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper first introduces job positions and population groups that will be in the endangered category due to technological changes. In connection with the above, there are presented job positions and population groups that will need to be formed into potential new jobs or existing jobs with new requirements for work positions. In this part of the paper are presented strategic documents for the current period with their recommendations. The following part of the paper focuses on new forms of employment, new jobs and new forms of work that can be expected in connection with Industry 4.0 and Society 4.0 and outlines how the company will have to approach the issue.

This topic is actual both for academic theory and for practical business, as in the current business environment there is the undeniable and rising need of fast, accurate and cost-effective acquirement of data for the purposes of process management and controlling. Technologies of automatic identification and data capture can be successfully used to fulfil such need, assuming the right technology is chosen. Results of conducted research show, that the radio frequency identification technology can be successfully used in particular components of Industry 4.0, such as big data, system integration and internet of things. The results also show, that only the ultra-high and high frequency variants of radio frequency identification technologies are suitable for the applications connected to the Industry 4.0 concept. The low frequency variant of this technology is too limited by its technical restriction, especially the low velocity and possible distance of reading, to be of any use for such applications.","PeriodicalId":30792,"journal":{"name":"Trendy v podnikani","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69084371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positive impacts of this state are discussed at conferences and other events closely related to the issue of Society 4.0. On the other hand, it is also necessary to deal with possible negatives and risks related to use of new technologies that may arise in the future. Objective of this contribution is to explain and discuss selected aspects of society transformation to Society 4.0 which is based on specific principles. To reach the defined objective, literary research of relevant area and initial analyses of current state in the area of understanding principles of Society 4.0 by the representatives of small and medium sized companies specified in the research were used. Main focus was given to the new ways of data processing, changes of current conditions in relation to job positions, education and overall quality of life. Selected findings are presented in individual sections of the contribution.

New jobs are being created, but some of the existing jobs are disappearing. It is necessary to prepare and prove these changes and secure the labor market. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current state of the labor market in the Czech Republic, which is influenced by the fourth industrial revolution. The data come from the public database of the Czech Statistical Office. These are the official results of the Labor Force Survey in the Czech Republic in Q2 2019. The paper analyzes data and information on the structure of employment, unemployment rate, sector employment, age and educational structure of the population. Developments of individual indicators are then analyzed by expert evaluators economists. In particular, basic logical scientific methods such as analysis and generalization are used. At present, the Czech Republic has the lowest value of unemployed persons for the whole surveyed period. The distribution of employees roughly corresponds to the contributions of the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors to gross domestic product. The most important industry in the Czech Republic is the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, a significant proportion of the population of 65+ in the total population in the Czech Republic can be seen. Incoming changes have a significant impact on the required qualifications and the labor market in general. The primary objective of the Czech Republic should be to adapt the education system to the future needs of the labor market.","PeriodicalId":30792,"journal":{"name":"Trendy v podnikani","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69083575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
