The workforce of an enterprise consists of employees of various ages with different personality types. Members of each generation differ not only in their behaviour, but also in their attitudes and opinions. A manager should identify generational differences. Subsequently, the management style, leadership and employee motivation should be adapted forasmuch as well-motivated employees are able to affect the efficiency of enterprise processes in right way. The objective of the paper is to identify differences in perception of the preferred level of corporate culture in terms of various generations. Preferred level of corporate culture in six areas is evaluated using a questionnaire consisting of 24 questions. Sixty-four European transport enterprises are engaged in the survey. Following the outcomes, we find that all generations of respondents working in the European transport enterprises prefer clan corporate culture in the course of five years. This culture puts emphasis on employees, customers and traditions. Loyalty and teamwork are considered to be the essential tools for business success. Following the statistical verification using the ANOVA test, we can state that the hypothesis regarding the existence of generational differences in the perception of corporate culture was not confirmed.

The main advantages of maritime transport are (1) lowest costs, (2) large-scale carriage capacity, (3) carriage of different goods over long distances and (4) the most acceptable mode of transport in the context of the environment. This mode of transport is considered more profitable and more cost-effective than all other transport modes. Modern maritime ports have become the essential nodal components of freight transport networks. This paper is focused on determining the most suitable layout of space for the loading units warehousing and handling in the maritime port using the particular method. In the paper, four types of layout and five criteria were taken into account. Layout of warehousing and handling space can affect the entire transport process and can have a great effect on the economics of enterprises.

This paper deals with waste management. The aim is to find out whether the number of municipal mixed waste bins can be reduced due to the impact of waste separation and to determine the optimum municipal waste collection cycle within a predesignated area with an existing urban road network. The number of mixed waste bins depends on two factors—household waste volume and household waste composition. Both of these factors have a significant impact on the number of mixed waste bins required, with household waste composition being of particular importance when it comes to calculating the potential reduction in the number of mixed waste bins required due to waste separation. The calculations for the weight and volume of mixed household waste per person and the composition (types) thereof are presented accordingly. The results reveal which types of waste are the most useful in minimising the number of mixed waste bins by up to 30–50%. To determine the optimum waste collection cycle within the predesignated area with a real urban road network, the Nearest Neighbour Search method was applied. In the discussion, the focus is on whether other methods, including the Two-Phase Heuristic approach and the Bellman-Ford Algorithm, could be applied to solve the problem, whereby parameters such as application time and the capacity of the waste collection vehicle are compared.

This paper deals with the issue of macroeconomic evaluation of projects regarding the construction of traffic infrastructure and equipment. The objective of traffic infrastructure projects is to ensure the improvement of public welfare and decrease the negative impacts on the environment. Individual projects must be developed properly therefore the particular elements need to be analyzed in detail. In the paper, the evaluation of projects is made on the basis of comparing the costs on construction of the traffic infrastructure with benefits which the construction will bring, i.e. the macroeconomic aspects within the decision-making process regarding the investments need to be quantified on the basis of Cost – Benefit analysis

This paper presents the outcomes of the research focused on the passengers’ subjective point of view on the Integrated Transport Systems (ITS) comparing with the separate non-integrated traffic lines. The research, within project realized in the Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice, was performed in several cities located in the central part of the EU where the establishing the ITS has been planned. The introductory parts of the paper contain the theoretical approaches of the given issue. Particularly, the issue of ITS such as, the review of performed ITS studies, information on the realized surveys and the draft of the used model are outlined in these parts. The used model includes two variants of the problem solving: ITS and individual bus. The surveyed criteria include: unproductive time, time of drive and travel fee.In the next two parts of the paper, the application of the model to real traffic conditions is presented and the outcomes of the research problem are emphasized.
