' Qualitative Research of an International Retail Organization Abstract: The article describes Doyle's behavioral model of a firm and demonstrates on the example of an international retail organization its possible application. The article analyses firm's division of competences, values and vision of the organization and the steering wheel consisting of operational objectives of the firm. It presents first results of the qualitative research on the international retail chain. In the results it focuses especially on the perceiving of organizational values by the line employees. It concludes that Doyle's model appears to be efficient in the case of the international retail organization and suggests a possible research shift toward the role of the culture in international retail organizations.

The presence of different types uncertainty brings us to the need to adapt the indicators of efficiency valuation of investment projects by using of mathematical methods that allow to formalize different types of uncertainty. Among the various methods of modeling under uncertainty it is possible to allocate three basic approaches: probability, fuzzy-set theory and expert estimation. As shown by the world experience, the effectiveness using of methods based on probability, fuzzy sets and expert estimation depends on the level and character of uncertainty associated with a particular tasks. Indeed, increasing uncertainty classical probabilistic description retreat place of subjective probability based on expert estimation, or fuzzy set interval descriptions denote by membership function. This article shows the uniqueness of fuzzy set intervals descriptions based on the principles of fuzzy logic in evaluation the economic efficiency of investment projects compared to older classic method.

Based on the published data, the position of the agriculture as a consumer of various sources of energy is evaluated. The objective is the evaluation of the economic and energetic efficiencies of agricultural holdings and their reciprocal connection with the accent on the corporate social responsibility.

A detailed analysis and case study show that this is a particular real-option based situation, which solicits the use of statistical simulation. The method can be recommended as a useful heuristic for corporate capital budgeting, as well as for college-level class instruction.
