Title
Business environment analysis based on the Doing Business: case study Slovakia
Abstract
Business activity is logically influenced by a certain environment in which it takes place. We call this the business environment. It consists of conditions in a specific country, respectively. specific location. Today, we can also talk about the global business environment. The business environment consists of all entities in the vicinity of the company, which directly or indirectly affect it and interfere with its activities. Every business or person doing business operates in a specific business environment. The business environment should create the conditions for entrepreneurs to pay them start-ups and existing ones to thrive in business, while being able to offer vacancies. Based on the Doing business indicator in this paper, we analyze the development of the business environment in the Slovak Republic for the period 2009 to 2020. The data were used in an international database available online within the data provided by the World Bank. The aim of this paper is to point out the development and analyze the reasons for development trends in the Slovak Republic.
