Niektoré problémy manažmentu podnikov s francúzskou kapitálovou účasťou v podmienkach medzinárodnej integrácie
SOME MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN COMPANIES WITH FRENCH CAPITAL STAKE UNDER INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION CIRCUMSTANCES

Summary/Abstract: An internationalization of the Slovak economy and related restructuring of Slovak companies is often a discussion issue whether the presence of foreign investors leads towards a new modern management style profitable for our country. Current definitions on management underline the competences of managers operat-ing internationally on purchase or sale markets. The internationalization of economy involves all companies in Slovakia, which cannot do, running their production, with traditional management methods and are forces to develop their activities in a wider space which is more or less open. Such development has brought about many problems for our companies, especially of technical, financial, accounting, taxation or legal etc. nature, where their complexity requires a fundamental analysis. A basic issue is the quality of managers who control a network of companies with a foreign capital participation, or a French capital. Out of numerous aspects on the international management and according to many publications dealing e.g. with mar-keting issues, a human aspect analysis has been relatively meager. The objective of the article is at one side, to deal with the circumstances of companies’ management with a French capital stake, and on the other side, to analyse problems between the mother company and units performing in Slovakia. The results of the research which was run-ning during 1998 provided a plenty of facts to illustrate the above mentioned issues, and at the same time they create an outcome for contemplating the restructuring under the condition of international integration. The focus at the companies with a French capital participation was due to involve-ment of the Economic University in Bratislava in the sphere of economics and commer-cial management in Latin culture countries. Among them, France has become particu-larly active partner for Slovakia, mainly in the educational area where young Slovak managers are being prepared. France have also demonstrated its positive attitude as for incorporation of Slovakia into a group of potential new members of the European Un-ion, and in this way they have created pre-requisites for broader mutual economic rela-tionship of the two countries. The ideas of current cooperation of the Slovak-and-French relationship frequently have resulted from personal contacts, from the initiatives of the Economy Ministry of the Slovak Republic, French counselling and consulting institutions, subsidiaries of big companies, activities of universities which prepare future francophonic managers for their work in entreprises’ sphere. From this point of view the development of cultural relationship with France may play an important role also for the economic cooperation between Slovak and French companies.
