The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between Economic Value Added, traditional performance measures (ROA and ROE) and ability of creation of shareholder wealth for food-processing firms in the Czech Republic. The intent of this article is fulfilled by providing a simple regression tests of the hypothesis, that between EVA and traditional performance metrics there is not a tight linear dependency which would point out that EVA has the same information content as traditional performance measures and hypothesis, that the EVA measure is more associated with improved shareholder wealth than traditional performance measures. The results of regression analysis indicate in all cases a positive correspondence between EVA and financial performance metrics with very low dependency of EVA on the financial metrics and show higher quality information content of EVA indicator in the relationship to the ability of shareholder wealth creation than traditional performance measures. This fact supports the tested hypothesis as well as the conclusions of corporate finance theory, that from the theoretical point of view EVA is seen as a superior performance metric.

Many of the current asset management models that are found in financial management literature assume book profit maximization as the basic financial purpose. These book profit-based models could be lacking in what relates to maximization of enterprise value. The enterprise value maximization strategy is executed with a focus on risk and uncertainty. This article presents the consequences that can result from operating risk that is related to purchasers using payment postponement for goods and/or services. The present article offers a method that uses portfolio management theory to determine the level of accounts receivable in a firm. An increase in the level of accounts receivables in a firm increases both the net working capital and the costs of holding and managing accounts receivables.

The rebirth of regionalism, as another phase of the world economy regionalization, is a logical defensive reaction. However, apart from the regional labour division, a new regionalism emerges, interconnecting even distant subjects. Next to the usual economic reasons, the new regionalism is motivated also by the strengthening of regional resistance. It is the strategy that plays a major role in the development of regionalism.

Its total contribution to Bolivian GDP is 2%. In spite of that, so far, it has not been able to establish stable trade relations with foreign markets. The analysis of supply and demand of meat during the period 2000-2005 in the Bolivian market has shown that this sector has big perspectives of growth especially due to observance of the veterinary standards. Increase of exports of meat during the upcoming years might lead to a substantial increase of income to the Bolivian economy. Among the competitive advantages of the Bolivian cattle-breeding belong: lower production costs compared to those in Brazil or Argentina, and above all those of Australia and United States - the biggest exporters of meat in the world. It's fundamental to add that Bolivia dispose of enormous amount of areas that is suitable to cattle breeding. Moreover, its price is much lower then in any other region country.
