“…Appropriate indices are generally used for the analysis of competitiveness in the wood processing industry. In such a way, Paluš et al (2015) analysed the trade performance and competitiveness of the Slovak wood processing industry and compared them with the Visegrad group countries. They used a set of trade performance and competitiveness indicators for analysing the position and changes in competitiveness of the respective countries, as followed: Trade Specialisation Index, Export/Import Ratio, Standard Grubel-Lloyd Index, Revealed Comparative Advantage and Vollrath's Revealed Competitive Advantage Indices.…”

Selected South-Eastern European countries (SEEC - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia) represent significant producers and exporters of wood flooring in Europe. In 2018, 9.4 % of Europe’s wood flooring production originated from this region. The region is a net exporter of wood flooring since it exports over 50 % of total production. The most important market for the export of wood flooring is the European Union with a share of over 60 % in total exports. Trends in this market are important for manufacturers and exporters from the region. Therefore, the analysis of the impact of the European Union imports on wood flooring production in the SEEC was conducted by application of econometric modelling. The parameters of the obtained model show that the increase of approximately 0.75 % could be expected in the production of wood flooring in selected South-Eastern European countries for each precentral increase in the European Union imports. In addition to these results, the paper presents the analysis of the competitiveness of wood flooring export from the region measured by the Competitiveness Growth Index (RCA1). The aim of this analysis was to quantify the level of their price and non-price competitiveness in the European Union market. Conducted analyses show that the Competitiveness Growth Index (RCA1) had positive values (higher than one) for most significant countries from the SEEC for most of the observed period.

“…It was found that in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, the foreign trade in the wood processing industries play a significant role on the economic performance. The aim of this paper is to analyse trade performance and competitiveness of the Slovak wood processing industry sectors and their comparison with the Visegrad group (Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary) countries (Palus, Parobek & Liker, 2015). The objective of paper done by Koebel, Levet, Van, Purohoo & Guinard (2016) was to analyse the role of the forest resource endowment for explaining wood products trade as well as, beyond the resource endowment, to explore the role of other determinants reflecting the industrial performance of sectors.…”

Aim of study: In this study, the amount of industrial wood production of the regional directorates of forestry in Turkey was examined deeply and the similarities between the regional directorates in industrial wood production were investigated by cluster and discriminant analysis. Area of study: The study area is regional directorates of forestry in Turkey. Material and Method: Seven different variables were used to construct similar clusters. The arithmetic mean of these seven variables was taken for 4 years (2013-2016). Cluster and discriminant analysis were used as method. Main results: According to the clustering analysis results, it was determined that regional directorates of forestry could be divided into maximum 6 and minimum 2 groups. As a result of the discriminant analysis conducted to determine the highest success of the groupings, it was determined that the regional directorates of forestry distinguished in 100% success in 6 groups. Also, it was found that a Kastamonu regional directorate of forestry, which has the highest value in industrial wood production, has formed a group alone. Highlights: For the production of industrial wood, the regional directorates of forestry can put more emphasis on the use of forest areas. Thus, we can avoid the dependence on foreign sources.

“…The pressure is put on developing effective strategies to succeed in a highly competitive environment [5][6][7]. If enterprises do not want to stagnate, they have to place the emphasis on modernisation, improving the quality, the effectiveness of activities in order to maintain and improve their competitiveness on the market [8][9][10][11]. This way, human resource management is a strategic and logical approach to managing the most valuable asset the companies possess, i.e.…”

The time when the only job of a manager was to delegate work to employees is over. At the present time, an ability to motivate employees is considered an essential skill for managers. It is complex and systematic effort of a manager to create a working environment and atmosphere supporting the inner needs and interests of employees affecting their behaviour and stimulating the performance positively. Differences in the level of workers’ motivation in repair and maintenance service enterprise in the rail transport was defined using the sample set of almost 1,000 respondents and ANOVA and Duncan test. Following the results, it can be stated that the structure of motivation factors, as well as their importance, changed significantly in repair and maintenance service enterprise in the rail transport over the observation period.
