- ItemProject Management in the Time of VUCA: Threat or Opportunity?(University of Hradec Králové, 2024-04-10) Košťálová, Jana; Doskočil, Radek; Širáňová, Lenka; Lacko, BranislavThis study addresses the "projectification of society" and its alignment with the VUCA framework (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity). Four widely used international project management standards—PMI, IPMA, PRINCE2, and PM2—are evaluated for their suitability in the VUCA environment. The research employs a multicriteria approach, specifically the Weighted Sum Approach method, considering factors like volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The selected standards are scrutinized based on their adaptability to VUCA challenges, with a focus on PMBOK, IPMA, PRINCE2, and PM2. The seventh edition of the PMBOK has been evaluated on the first position. The study emphasizes the crucial role of selecting an appropriate project management standard for success in navigating the dynamic VUCA world. The results confirmed this and brought a number of recommendations for managing projects in a VUCA environment.
- ItemSystematic Review of Current Risk Management Methods in Cybersecurity for Healthcare(University of Hradec Králové Faculty of Informatics and Management, 2024-04-10) Soukupová, Marie; Doskočil, RadekPresented systematic review is analyzing cyber risk management, more specifically economic aspect of the measures resulting from the risk analysis, through search of Web of Science and Scopus databases. The article questions the current scientific knowledge in the field of applicability of quantitative methods on measuring of the negative impact of successful cyberattacks. The purpose of the article is to define how these shall be improved for real application in the environment of healthcare, being specific not only by operating with sensitive patient data, but also by the urgency with which system malfunctions must be dealt with in order to prevent threatening the health and lives of patients (the fact that is providing the attacker with a unique position of privilege). While it is apparently necessary to invest more resources into the cybersecurity in healthcare, it is at the same time essential to ensure that these measures are profitable and the resources for them are spent economically. While cost of human life cannot easily be quantified, it is now time to search for methods on how to define an appropriate cybersecurity investment as opposed to the costs of a potential cyberattack.
- ItemSolvability of the symmetric nonlinear functional differential equations(Wiley, 2023-08-07) Dilna, Nataliya; Fečkan, Michal; Rontó, AndrásConditions for the existence of a symmetric solution of nonlinear functional differential equations with symmetries are established.
- ItemGeopolitical deadlock and phosphate shortfall behind the price hike? Evidence from Moroccan commodity markets(CZECH ACADEMY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, 2023-08-11) Vochozka, Marek; Janek, Svatopluk; Širáňová, LenkaPhosphate fertilisers rank among limited conventional production aids, requiring eco-unfriendly mining methods. On the other hand, wheat is an indispensable agricultural commodity essential in the food industry. For this reason, it is appropriate to monitor the potential bivariate relationship between these commodities and to follow their future development closely. The article aims to identify a correlation (Kendall's tau) and causal (Granger causality test) between the price of Moroccan phosphate and wheat, applying vector autoregression (VAR). The results show a medium-to-strong correlation between phosphate and wheat, while causal analysis suggests a reciprocal relationship. The final prediction indicates the price stability of Moroccan phosphate and a fall in wheat prices, showing steady trends of the Moroccan phosphate and wheat market affected by the alarming situation in Ukraine. The article's drawbacks are a narrow market specialisation, which ignores other agricultural commodities. Our findings contribute to national officeholders and professional public, private and non-profit agrarian organisations. Investors may benefit from exploring turbulent exogenous variables like a critical geopolitical deadlock in Ukraine. The main contribution highlights the fact that the conventional fertiliser and wheat market situation appears to be stable and free from elements of uncertainty.
- ItemProject Management in European Structural and Investment Funds Financed Projects in the Czech Republic(University of Hradec Králové, 2023-04-11) Košťálová, Jana; Doskočil, Radek; Širáňová, Lenka; Lacko, BranislavSupport from European structural and investment funds has a large impact and significantly contributes to the reduction of differences between regions within the European Union. In the case of the Czech Republic the European Union helped from 2004 to 2021 to development of the country with amount of 1,700 billion CZK. This support is mainly offered in the form of subsidies by which individual projects have been supported. 164,537 projects have been implemented in the period from 2004 to the end of the year 2021. In such case of large number of projects financed from public resources is appropriate to manage them effectively and finished successfully. International standards of project management recommend the useful methods, tools and procedures leading to higher efficiency and success. The main goal of the article is to evaluate the knowledge and usage of project management international standards in the organizations implementing the projects financed or co-financed from European structural and investment funds. 171 respondents mainly project managers of this type of projects answer in questionnaire survey. They hardly know international project management standards, and if they do know them, they hardly use them in practice, with the exception of the PRINCE2 methodology, in which they have some certified employees.
