Comparative analysis of the current approach of customers and SMEs from the V4 countries to pro- environmental improving products' quality

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Modernizing the management of organisations and promoting the principles of sustainable development are increasingly desirable in the countries of the Visegrad Group. However, the challenge lies in determining a single, coherent direction for the organization's development to ensure it meets market requirements while simultaneously being environmentally friendly. Therefore, the purpose was to analyse current activities for quality and natural environment making by SMEs from the electromechanical industry from V4 countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) and current customers' satisfaction with the quality of environmentally friendly products. The method of research included survey research among SMEs in the electromechanical industry of V4 countries and their customers or potential customers. In the period from March to July 2023, a research sample of 1,078 respondents was obtained. The U-Mann-Whitney test was used to test the relationship, where the analyses were performed at the significance level of alpha=0,05. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the current actions in the area of qualitative-environmental aspects of product improvement by mentioned enterprises are only slightly consistent with current customers' expectations. The originality of the research is that it determines the current direction of development of SMEs from the electromechanical industry from V4 countries with pro-ecological management of product quality, which will be in line with customers' requirements. The results from research can be useful for SMEs from V4 countries, which strive to continuously improve product quality according to the principles of sustainable development.
