Abstract
Studies of the current condition of management in the Czech Republic show, that strategic management is one of the greatest weaknesses in the management of Czech businesses when compared with their western competitors. The intended transformation of the Czech highway administration from the existing state allowance organisation to a company with a new legal status is an excellent opportunity to design a strategically oriented and well-organised body which will be capable to be effective in strategic development, investment, maintenance, and operation of the managed highway network. At the Brno International Business School considerable attention has been paid to studying strategic business management over the last ten years. It supports the effort of the CDV - Transport Research Centre to achieve a holistic approach to the strategic development of the transportation sector. The paper describes a possible way for drafting a strategy concept for transforming the highway administration.
Highlights
The existing situation concerning the management and funding of the transport infrastructure is currently unsatisfactory
The major task in this area is carried out by the Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic (ŘSD) – the highway administration, which still has the legal status of a state allowance organization
Due to the above mentioned problems, which are currently having a negative impact on ŘSD, the currently considered transition of ŘSD as a state allowance organization to an entity with a different legal status will definitely be a positive step towards the new funding of the transport infrastructure in the Czech Republic
Summary
The existing situation concerning the management and funding of the transport infrastructure is currently unsatisfactory. The major task in this area is carried out by the Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic (ŘSD) – the highway administration, which still has the legal status of a state allowance organization. It is a body responsible for investment, construction, modernisation, maintenance, and reconstruction of the motorways and primary rural roads in the Czech Republic. Due to the above mentioned problems, which are currently having a negative impact on ŘSD, the currently considered transition of ŘSD as a state allowance organization to an entity with a different legal status will definitely be a positive step towards the new funding of the transport infrastructure in the Czech Republic
