It emphasizes&#13;
efficiency, openness and transparency in the management of public affairs. An important&#13;
factor of Good Governance is the application of ICT in public administration and the&#13;
expansion of eGovernment, as a progressive element of the modernization of public&#13;
administration. The presented article is focused on the evaluation of the interdependence&#13;
between eGovernment and the development of Good Governance in the European Union&#13;
(EU) countries. The interdependence of variables is examined based on the results of&#13;
eGovernment evaluation model using multicriterial decision-making (MCDM) methods&#13;
(TOPSIS method) and the values of WGI index monitored and processed by the World Bank.&#13;
Based on the use of correlation and regression analysis, the interdependency between&#13;
eGovernment and Good Governance development in EU member countries was confirmed.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_01.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>7</pageFrom><pageTo>20</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-001</doi><keywords><keyword>E-government</keyword><keyword>European Union</keyword><keyword>Evaluation</keyword><keyword>Good governance</keyword><keyword>Public administration</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Eva</name><surname>Ardielli</surname><email>eva.ardielli@vsb.cz</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>VSB – Technical University of Ostrava, Faculty of Economics</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author><author><name>Roman</name><surname>Vavrek</surname><email>roman.vavrek@unipo.sk</email><order>2</order><instituteAffiliation>University of Prešov, Faculty of Management</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>ACCENTURE: eGovernment Leadership: Rhetoric vs Reality – Closing the Gap.

and Lithuania). The primary objective of the study is to group the countries according to&#13;
twelve variables – average wage, minimum wage, GDP per capita, rates of unemployment,&#13;
exchange and inflation rates, income tax, GDP per hour worked, indices of industrial,&#13;
construction and manufacturing production and retail trade index, determining which of them&#13;
significantly affect the average wage and defining the type and strength of such a relationship.&#13;
The average wage, minimum wage and GDP per capita are used after their conversion into&#13;
purchasing power parity, allowing for the comparison of price levels and PPP in different&#13;
countries. Another important aim is to develop forecasts of the wage level for OECD&#13;
countries by 2020. With regard to the countries’ clustering according to the above criteria,&#13;
Czechia always ranks alongside other post-communist countries (except Slovenia). The only&#13;
explanatory variables affecting the average wage significantly are GDP per capita, income tax&#13;
and manufacturing and retail trade indices, GDP exerting a major influence. Simple&#13;
regression analysis of the dependence between the average wage and GDP per capita indicates&#13;
that its course is best captured by the concave parabola with the peak at 77,252 PPP USD. The&#13;
selected second-order polynomial regression explains approx. 89 percent of the variability of&#13;
the observed values of the average annual wage. Wage growth by 2020 is expected in&#13;
virtually all the OECD countries.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_02.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>21</pageFrom><pageTo>45</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-002</doi><keywords><keyword>Average annual wage</keyword><keyword>GDP per capita</keyword><keyword>Cluster analysis</keyword><keyword>Ward method</keyword><keyword>Euclidean distance metric</keyword><keyword>Linear regression hyperplane</keyword><keyword>Quadratic regression function</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Diana</name><surname>Bílková</surname><email>diana.bilkova@vse.cz</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>University of Economics, Prague, Faculty of Informatics and Statistics, Department of Statistics and Probability</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>AKKEMIK, K.

mobilizing capital, related to the instrumental solution of situations with the help of social&#13;
relations. The article has used a secondary analysis of data gained thanks to a questionnaire&#13;
survey, which was representative of inhabitants of the Ústí Region. The results showed that&#13;
the willingness to do business was connected with mobilizing social capital, while bonding&#13;
social capital did not play any role. The analysis, however, also includes other variables as the&#13;
role of the social capital differs, for instance, regionally: people with a higher education are&#13;
more willing to do business, and the same also applies to people declaring a willingness to&#13;
leave the region. The complexity of the variables related to the low level of willingness to do&#13;
business cannot be reduced to mobilizing social capital. However, it is also necessary to&#13;
reflect its significant role.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_03.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>46</pageFrom><pageTo>54</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-003</doi><keywords><keyword>Entrepreneurship</keyword><keyword>Self-employment</keyword><keyword>Mobilizing social capital</keyword><keyword>Bonding social capital</keyword><keyword>Regional diversification</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Eva</name><surname>Fuchsová</surname><email>eva.fuchsova@ujep.cz</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, The Faculty of Social and Economic Studies, Department of Economics and Ma</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author><author><name>Jitka</name><surname>Laštovková</surname><email>jitka.lastovkova@ujep.cz</email><order>2</order><instituteAffiliation>Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, The Faculty of Social and Economic Studies,  Department of Social Work</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author><author><name>Michaela</name><surname>Jánská</surname><email>michaela.janska@ujep.cz</email><order>3</order><instituteAffiliation>Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, The Faculty of Social and Economic Studies, Department of Economics and Ma</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>APPARAO, D.; GARNEVSKA, E.; SHADBOLT, N.: Examining commitment, heterogeneity and social capital within the membership base of agricultural cooperatives—A conceptual framework.

information needed to eliminate uncertainty. The aim of the paper is to predict the growth rate&#13;
of the output within a short time period using the fuzzy approach, which is an appropriate tool&#13;
for analyzing problems burdened by uncertainty. First, we briefly compare the fuzzy approach&#13;
with the statistical methods in the cases where predictors face a non-deterministic&#13;
environment. The principles of the fuzzy set theory is described and then applied in the gross&#13;
domestic product growth rate prediction of Greece for the years 2018 (compared to the&#13;
reported econometric forecast) and 2020 (a new contribution to the paper). The forecasts lean&#13;
on the input components of the previous four-year development of three macroeconomic&#13;
indicators (long-term interest rates, investments and unemployment) published in the&#13;
OECD.stat, which are the basal input parameters of the task. The fuzzy prediction results&#13;
showed no significant deviations from the statistical predictions. Nevertheless, the model&#13;
input data monotonic development enabled us to demonstrate one of the ways by means of&#13;
which the experts can correct the deficiencies of the fuzzy algorithm. Herein identified&#13;
deficiency is the missing information originating from the input data, which the fuzzy&#13;
algorithm did not work with. The appropriate corrective measure of the fuzzy model has been&#13;
chosen and applied.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_04.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>55</pageFrom><pageTo>64</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-004</doi><keywords><keyword>Entrepreneurship</keyword><keyword>Self-employment</keyword><keyword>Mobilizing social capital</keyword><keyword>Bonding social capital</keyword><keyword>Regional diversification</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Simona</name><surname>Hašková</surname><email>haskovas@post.cz</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>Institute of Technology and Business, School of Expertness and Valuation</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>BĚHOUNEK, L.; CINTULA, P.: From fuzzy logic to fuzzy mathematics: A methodological manifesto.

of teamwork and communication by two chosen generations – Y (Millennials) and Z. The&#13;
analysis of teamwork was subsequently carried out on the basis of a questionnaire survey&#13;
conducted in 2019 on a sample of 266 respondents in the Czech Republic. The questionnaire&#13;
survey was supplemented by a content analysis of company job adverts from 2016–2019 in a&#13;
total of 667 analyzed adverts. One research hypothesis and two research questions were&#13;
formulated. Pearson's Chi-square Independence Test was used to evaluate the hypotheses.&#13;
Based on data analysis, no dependence between the selected generations and teamwork&#13;
preferences was found. The data imply that respondents prefer to work in teams with people&#13;
they know personally. From the content analysis of the job fair catalogs, the receding&#13;
tendencies in reporting on the possibilities of teamwork in the workplaces are evident.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_05.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>65</pageFrom><pageTo>77</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-005</doi><keywords><keyword>Team work</keyword><keyword>Millenials</keyword><keyword>Generation Y</keyword><keyword>Generation Z</keyword><keyword>Communication</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Jiří</name><surname>Kutlák</surname><email>kutlak@kpm.zcu.cz</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>University of West Bohemia, Faculty of Economics, Department of Business Economics and Management</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>BUSSINESINFO: Týmová práce.

competitiveness in companies. Answering the question which one delivers the best product or&#13;
service becomes harder as the time flows, as all of them are in pursuit of achieving the same&#13;
goal: truly understand how the market behaves. It is a fact that competitiveness and&#13;
benchmarking process among automotive companies are challenging in a stable global&#13;
economic scenario. How would those processes look like in a global economic crisis? Which&#13;
challenges will companies have to address in order to be competitive in this scenario? This&#13;
article presents a case study of a global automotive supplier and the challenges it faced during&#13;
the 2008-2009 economic crisis over statistical analysis of its demand and downtimes, where&#13;
many lessons learned from this scenario could be studied for better prediction and handling&#13;
future ones.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_06.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>78</pageFrom><pageTo>88</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-006</doi><keywords><keyword>Benchmarking</keyword><keyword>Competitiveness</keyword><keyword>Automotive industry</keyword><keyword>Global financial crisis</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Márcio</name><surname>Rodrigues</surname><email>marcio.rodrigues@tul.cz</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>Technical University of Liberec, Faculty of Economics, Department of Business Administration and Management</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author><author><name>Beatriz</name><surname>Mendes</surname><email>beatriz.fmendes22@gmail.com</email><order>2</order><instituteAffiliation>State University of Campinas (Unicamp)</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author><author><name>Eva</name><surname>Šírová</surname><email>eva.sirova@tul.cz</email><order>3</order><instituteAffiliation>Technical University of Liberec, Faculty of Economics, Department of Business Administration and Management</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>DEROS, B.

Nowadays there are a lot of modern&#13;
possibilities of fundraising, and the development of cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding has&#13;
made it possible to create new ways of financing projects. This article seeks to present the&#13;
Initial Coin Offering (ICO) concept, which is an alternative and modern source of funding. It&#13;
is similar to the Initial Public Offering (IPO) and crowdfunding. The aim of this article is to&#13;
present the advantages and disadvantages of Initial Coin Offering. This concept is often&#13;
associated with risky funding sources, but every business should be able to get acquainted&#13;
with this form of financing.</abstract><pdfFileUrl>https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2019_2_07.pdf</pdfFileUrl><publicationDate>2019-09-30</publicationDate><pageFrom>90</pageFrom><pageTo>98</pageTo><doi>10.15240/tul/004/2019-2-007</doi><keywords><keyword>Initial coin offering</keyword><keyword>Funding source</keyword><keyword>Cryptocurrency</keyword><keyword>Crowdfunding</keyword><keyword>Initial public offering</keyword></keywords></languageVersion><authors><author><name>Agnieszka</name><surname>Wis</surname><email>agnieszka.wis@ue.wroc.pl</email><order>1</order><instituteAffiliation>Wroclaw University of Economics, Faculty of Economics Management and Tourism in Jelenia Góra, Department of Finance and Accounti</instituteAffiliation><role>AUTHOR</role></author></authors><references><reference><unparsedContent>PAKULSKA, T.: Przedsiębiorstwo.

Based on the results of the analysis, a basic scheme of participation of young people in family&#13;
business in the Liberec Region was created. The factors that influence the individual stages of&#13;
the decision-making process are identified and summarized, taking into account the type of&#13;
