Measuring Performance of Small Retail and Wholesale Companies in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The aim of this article is to analyze the performance of retail and wholesale companies operating in the Czech Republic. The development of company performance remains a crucial topic for company`s management. Because of the specific nature of trading companies as the measure of performance the trade margin is used. This specific measure is suitable for evaluating the performance of the main activity of those companies. To reflect different size of companies the trade margin per one employee is calculated in individual regions of the Czech Republic excluding the capital city of Prague. The research sample is focused on small companies because they represent the most important part of business entities in the Czech Republic regarding the number of employees. To analyse the performance of the analysed companies a comparative analysis of secondary data is used. Firstly, the situation of retail companies is analysed and then the same analysis is done by the wholesale ones. Then the difference between the two type of companies is analysed. The research has shown that the trade margin per employee is on average about three times higher in case of wholesale companies than by the retail ones. Some differencies can be seen comparing the results in individual regions.
