Pavla Brůžková
Acta academica karviniensia 2016, 16(3):5-15 | DOI: 10.25142/aak.2016.020

The author shows that some qualitative and hardly measurable aspects should be included in the multiplier effect. At the same time, various present crowding-out effects partially offset the expected positive results. Several key aspects of state aid are identified to influence the balance of public budgets. First, the distortion of prices of the production factors lead to adjusted tax and social security payments. Second, long-term changes of potential product...

Business process modeling and simulation have become a central aspect of the way businesses understand, support, and communicate about their processes. Frequent prominent approaches this paper deals with are 1/service blueprinting, 2/business process modeling notation (BPMN) and 3/ discrete-event simulation (DES), which might be generally event oriented, activity oriented and process oriented. The use of these approaches in the area of hospitality is still very rare. The authors present the issue, solutions and selected results, obtained from the case study, implemented in Prague, in the4-star hotel in 2015.
