J. Hron
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2007, 53(12):531-538 | DOI: 10.17221/1228-AGRICECON 
This paper deals with the design of information architecture for the revitalisation of business processes. The proposal of a control system for a formalised decision-making process of revitalisation is in accordance with this information architecture. The entire methodology proposed relates to the application of consumer's value renewal of the product. Experts' standpoints are utilised in the procedural knowledge base which includes the information about the time sequence of starting and leaving some developmental activities. The product revitalisation control subsystem originates from this procedural knowledge base. The control subsystem converts...

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2007, 53(12):539-544 | DOI: 10.17221/1223-AGRICECON
The paper deals with the issue of knowledge transfer from several angles (context, benefits, and channels) in order to specify roles the universities should play in order to enhance the competitiveness of the EU economy. Knowledge transfer encompasses a wide variety of activities that range from appearances in the media and at public forums to participation in bilateral projects, the commercial development of research, the application of expertise through partnerships and internships, and the inclusion of broader community influences in the curriculum to enhance the capabilities of graduates. The broader context to facilitate knowledge transfer activities...

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2007, 53(12):545-557 | DOI: 10.17221/1224-AGRICECON
The paper analyses the development of milk prices and effectiveness and economy of holdings included in the particular production category of "411 Milk" and their relations. The influence of prices on profitability, elasticity of production, labour productivity dynamics, effectiveness of long-term assets and resulting cost changes are discussed in particular. Milk profitability was not significantly influenced by different prices in the individual states. The variation of prices in time was more important. The production is supposed to grow with delay. Milk yield (per cow and year) and number of cows per worker are the main determinants of labour productivity...
Automatic on-line risk analysis of suspicious transactions
P. Sobotka, I. Vrana
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2007, 53(12):558-564 | DOI: 10.17221/1221-AGRICECON
Portion of the electronically processed agendas and transactions of all kinds constantly increases and also the volume and importance of the processed agendas grows. Therefore, the need for supervision and inspection of these transactions is also increasing. One possibility is to accomplish control e.g. with the use of specialised mining instruments. The main disadvantage of this approach is the fact that the discovered suspicious transaction was completed long ago and it is impossible to change it. In such a case, we need to inspect and evaluate transactions in the real time still before their completion. But the complexity of real-time analysis of...
Land use changes in the EU: Policy and macro impact analysis
P. Ciaian
Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2007, 53(12):565-579 | DOI: 10.17221/900-AGRICECON
This paper analyses the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and macroeconomy on land use changes in the EU. Three scenarios are simulated up to 2030: baseline, macro scenario and policy scenario. Simulation results indicate that GDP leads to a stronger effect on land use changes than the CAP. Stronger changes in land use are observed at the crop disaggregated level than at the aggregated level for the total agricultural area, arable land, grassland and permanent crops.
