  ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN RELATION TO GENDER DIVERSITY IN TOP MANAGEMENT TEAMS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES

  This study examines the impact of gender diversity in top management on the financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Czech Republic.

This study examines the impact of gender diversity in top management on the financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Czech Republic. We focus on two sectors: manufacturing and information and communication technologies. Financial performance is assessed using the return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) ratios. Data for 396 entities were obtained from the Czech Statistical Office and the ARES database. The results show that gender diversity in top management has a positive impact on return on assets (ROA). However, no impact on return on equity (ROE) was found. These results suggest that gender-diverse leadership can lead to more efficient use of company assets, although it may not have a direct impact on profitability for investors. This research contributes to the existing literature on gender diversity and corporate performance. It offers valuable insights for managers and policymakers on the potential benefits of inclusive leadership for the prosperity of SMEs in the Czech Republic.

The changes in global markets have represented an important challenge for firms, therefore the integration of strategic processes, the efficiency of operations, the management of information and the knowledge generated, have been the basis for incorporating advanced management tools in the era of digitalization. In this sense, business intelligence (BI) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are two topics that have become widespread and researched in recent years. The present study aims at the conceptual analysis of ERP-BI topics with information collected from the web of science database from 2003 to 2022, identifying the most representative approaches and quantifying the main bibliometric indicators with the support of an open access technological tool SciMAT. The results show a growing trend of publications related to the incorporation of business systems and their conceptual relationships to sustainable development, knowledge management (KM), big data, among others. This study highlights the growth of research on BI and ERP systems, integrating organizational processes and generating knowledge based on valuable information for decision making with a positive impact on productivity and innovative strategy

The prospects for the formation and development of nostalgic tourism in Ukraine as a direction of the future intensification of inbound and domestic tourist flows are assessed in the article. The study of the possibilities of diversification and further changes in the structure of tourism in Ukraine is particularly relevant in connection with the events currently taking place. The presence of numerous homogeneous resources, remained from a sufficiently long stay of the German population on Ukrainian territory, provides an opportunity to form an innovative tourist product on this base. Special attention in the article is paid to the southern regions of the country, in particular, the Mykolaiv region, where an inventory of heritage resources was recently conducted for the development of creative tourism. On the site of German settlements, the establishment of which began in the south of Ukraine from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century, there are historical and architectural monuments in the form of churches, farm buildings, gymnasiums, and residential buildings. There are many resources preserved with maps of German settlements, registers of archival cases, geographic indexes of places and lists of citizens of German nationality who once lived in the territory of Southern Ukraine. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to analyze the possibilities of intensification of inbound nostalgic tourism in the southern regions of the country, in particular, the Mykolaiv region. The article analyzes the number and distribution of descendants of German immigrants, which can serve as a basis for determining the most attractive destinations for nostalgic tourism. Analysis of the dynamics of the inbound tourist flow from Germany to Ukraine in 2014-2018 allowed us to estimate the average annual growth of 28,175 persons. To predict the number of German tourists, the linear regression method was used, which showed a trend of sustainable growth and allowed us to conclude that nostalgic tourism is promising for tourists from Germany. It should be noted that this growth occurred despite military operations on the territory of the country. Therefore, the development and implementation of nostalgic tours and excursions, including visits to the places of former settlements in southern Ukraine, seems appropriate. At the same time, the research revealed a sufficient number of resources (documents, lists of residents of certain settlements, places from which immigrants came), which should be used in the future for the practical formation of targeted tourist offers.
