Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Rural Areas of the Czech Republic and Their Approach to Management Auditing

Abstract

Regarding small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their conditions in the present business environment, it is determinative for them to be prosperous and ambitious. In order to achieve their defined goals, such enterprises are advised to conduct periodical marketing environmental analyses and various audits. However, an audit process that examines overall enterprise management and measures its performance, i.e. management auditing, tends to be overlooked at times or mistaken for other activities. Related research involving Czech SMEs located in rural areas and operating in diverse industries discovered that management audit process capabilities, specifically in terms of organization and resources, are not fully utilized resulting in the enterprises’ lower competitiveness. In connection with broader assessment of enterprise management systems, the objective of this paper consists in introducing a particular sub-model titled “Comprehensive and Individual Resource Analysis”, which finalizes the previously developed and published “Two-Stage 7S Evaluation Model” [1]. Implementing the eventually completed model of management auditing on a regular basis would allow the SMEs to remove faults (and raise efficiencies) in their management processes, and enhance their enterprise value in the domestic and international markets.

The Influence of Ecological Environment Protection Mechanism on the Economic Development and Management Mechanism of Rural Enterprises

“…It can not only obtain the advantages and disadvantages of the economic development evaluation of rural enterprises in different years, but also reflect the overall evaluation index of each sample to evaluate the importance. In different years, the final experimental effect is relatively good [31]. First, the calculated values of the figures in the comprehensive evaluation result table and the samples of the projection value distribution model of the one-dimensional projection map in different years can reflect that the development level of circular economy of rural enterprises in China is increasing year by year, which is the basic judgment in line with the actual situation, and has high credibility for the overall evaluation of the development mechanism of agricultural circular economy [32].…”
