Summary
The business environment includes the country's tax system, which should be simple and transparent in order to create favorable conditions for doing business. Harumová [1] examines how the tax system affects work as well as business activity, the amount of savings and investor decision-making.

Gajdová [7] sees the cluster as a joint union of independent, regionally unified, jointly supporting companies and institutions that have the potential to be competitive within EU regions. In this way, the merged companies can achieve a synergistic effect
