Viešojo sektoriaus ekonomikos magistro baigiamojo darbo tema yra aktuali atsižvelgiant į tai, jog kiekviena pasaulio šalis ir jos ūkio subjektai yra suinteresuoti, kad šalies ekonomika būtų kuo labiau subalansuota ir išsivysčiusi. Šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje tarptautinė prekyba vaidina svarbų vaidmenį kiekvienos pasaulio valstybes ekonomikoje. Tarptautinė prekyba yra pati seniausia tarptautinių ekonominių santykių forma, kuri egzistavo ilgą laiką iki pasaulio ekonomikos susiformavimo ir yra jos pirmtakė. Spartus tarptautinės prekybos vystymasis įtakojo greitą pasaulio ekonomikos formavimasis ir paspartino gamybinių jėgų internalizacijos procesas. Magistro baigiamajame darbe yra iškelta problema – kokios gi yra Lietuvos Respublikos eksporto perspektyvos, remiantis išanalizuotais statistikos duomenimis. Baigiamojo darbo objektas - Lietuvos Respublikos (LR) užsienio prekyba. Baigiamojo darbo tikslas - atlikti LR eksporto statistinę analizę, bei numatyti ateities perspektyvas, o siekiant keliamo tikslo buvo sprendžiami šie pagrindiniai darbo uždaviniai - pateikti eksporto teoriją, nustatyti veiksnius, įtakojančius LR eksporto apimtis, išanalizuoti turimus 2004-2010 m statistinius eksporto duomenis, nustatyti eksporto įtaką šalies ekonomikai ir numatyti perspektyvas. Tyrimo metodai: mokslinės literatūros analizė, teisinių dokumentų analizė, statistinių duomenų analizė, apklausa.

In today's world the international trade plays an important role in the economy of every country. International trade is the oldest form of international economic relations, which existed long before the emergence of the global economy and its predecessor. The rapid development of international trade has influenced the generation of a rapid global economic and productive forces, as well as accelerated the process of internalization. In the master's thesis the problem of Lithuanian export's according to statistics is raised. The subject of the thesis is the foreign trade of the Republic of Lithuania. The final goal is to conduct a statistical analysis of Lithuanian exports and to predict the perspectives for the future. With the view to the objective the following main tasks have been solved - the export theory submitted, the factors that influence the Lithuanian export volume were identified, the available statistical exports data in the period 2004-2010 were analyzed , the export's impact to the economy was provided. Besides, the following methods have been used: the analysis of scientific literature, the legal documents' analysis, the statistical analysis and the survey. The final paper briefly introduces the conception of export and the Lithuanian export structure by countries or... [to full text]

This study empirically investigates the direct and indirect effects of export promotion programs (EPPs) on firm export performance. Government export promotion programs normally define the premise for successful exporting activities of the corporate sector and play a key role in stimulating international business activities of firms (Cavusgil and Michael, 1990; Marandu, 1995; Seringhaus and Rosson, 1990). While the extant literature on export performance mostly neglected EPPs as an antecedent of export performance, the literature on export promotion fails to relate it to export performance. A very few researchers in this area have focused on a direct relationship between EPPs and firm export performance, however, no study has investigated the effect of EPPs on other determinants of export performance toward establishing any indirect relation between EPPs and export performance. This study attempts to develop and test a comprehensive model of firm export performance that investigates how EPPs directly and indirectly influence firm export performance. Theoretical foundations are drawn from internationalization process and resource-based theories as frameworks for the analysis of the study. The model integrates the use of EPPs, management perception of export market environment, export knowledge, export commitment, and export strategy that influence firm export performance and develops a number of hypotheses. Export promotion programs are classified into two categories according to their similarity of purpose- "market development", and "finance and guarantee" related programs. All other variables in the model are latent and are measured by a set of observed items. The model is tested on primary data obtained from a sample survey of exporting firms drawn from three major export oriented industries in Bangladesh. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques (in AMOS 5) are used to test the validity of the overall model and the relationship between variables hypothesized in the model. A two stage process is employed whereby the construct measurements are first evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the structural relationships. Analysis of the structural relationships supports most of the hypothesized relationships. The dimensions of export promotion programs are found to positively impact overall export performance. The research findings demonstrate that the use of market development-related export promotion programs influence firm export performance directly as well as indirectly through management perception of the export market environment, export knowledge and commitment. However, finance and guarantee-related export promotion programs indirectly influence export performance through export commitment. The study provides a guideline for managers of firms suggesting how they can benefit from EPPs in improving their positive attitude towards the export market environment, building their knowledge and enhancing commitment to exporting for better success in their international operations. This study provides guidelines to policymakers in designing and targeting export promotion programs effectively. The study also contributes to the literature by examining the indirect impact of EPPs on firm export performance. Finally, the limitations of the study are considered and possible directions for further research outlined.

This thesis deals with the analysis team Chmelařství Žatec, hence its subsidiary of Bohemia Hop, as The theoretical part includes information on foreign trade, exports and aid institutions that deal with this issue. The thesis is further described the common agricultural policy and the Association of Private Farming in the Czech Republic and the Association of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Crafts of the Czech Republic. The practical part contains an analysis of the sector to which the exportation of hops from the Czech Republic and analysis Chmelařství Žatec team and its subsidiaries. In the following chapters the practical part are formed subgroup analysis (STEP, portfolio analysis, Porter 5-forces analysis of economic indicators, Ansoff matrix strategy, SWOT analysis). The work was also carried out a questionnaire survey and structured interviews. At the end of the thesis is the recommendation for Chmelařství team Žatec.

The thesis focuses on twelve main Export Strategy projects of the Czech Republic during the years 2006-2010. The main objective is to analyse current degree of their realisation and suggest possible changes. The theoretical part concentrates on pro-export policy including institutional background. In the practical part the projects are analysed. Each project (chapter) is then divided into three parts - introduction of a project, its assessment by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and current assessment by the author. Each chapter also includes suggestions of corrective instruments.

Final thesis Analysis of CzechTrade export agency is describing development of first Czech export agency.

International offices of CzechTrade are generally described and description of four of them is more detailed. Those countries are France, Netherlands, Belgium and Austria.

This thesis is focused on the development of the support of exports in the Czech republic. The Czech republic is a relatively small country which means it needs international trade to be able to satisfy domestic demand because of the lack of resources. In the early 90's the Czech republic was a transforming economy with no measures of export support. Because the czech exporters needed the public support to succeed on foreign markets, all the financial and non-financial measures of the export support had to be implemented from the beginning. To support the export, the country concluded contracts about trade liberalisation, provided information and assistance services for exporters and provided also financial and insurance services with the state assistance. The thesis is divided into several parts according to the periods of implementation of the export support. In the first two periods till 2002 there was not a unified system of providing the export support, the state institutions did not cooperate enough and the whole support system has been developing till the present. Since 2003 the Czech republic has had a conception of the export support that stipulates conditions of functioning of the export support system and it includes the ways how to improve this system.

Tubulin is the basic building block of microtubules which ensure intracellular transport, morphological changes, the connection of proteins of metabolic pathways, the segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and many other essential processes in plant cells. The localization of tubulin regarding nucleus is strictly controlled and during the interphase, tubulin is usually not present in the nucleus. As we previously showed, one of the exceptions of the presence of tubulin in the nucleus is the cold stress condition. Also, we discovered several plant-specific nuclear export sequences (NES) in tubulin molecules: one in α-tubulin and two in β-tubulin. In this work I found that double mutation of both functional β-tubulin NESes cause slight accumulation of the protein in the nuclei. However, the phenotype of the transgenic plants expressing β-tubulin with mutations is probably not affected by the presence of the mutated protein. The effect of the expression of the mutated β-tubulins was observed in Nicotiana tabacum BY-2 cells as well. The expression of β-tubulin carrying a single NES3 mutation or double mutation of both NESes bring changes of the division activity of the cells, while the NES2 mutation does not have any effect. Furthermore, it was discovered that the 0řC cold tr eatment does not cause...

My research attempted to provide the scientific community a more comprehensive understanding in terms of the determinants of China´s export growth. In order to reach this goal, I have divided my research mainly into two major phases. In phase one, I have concentrated on systematically review the Chinese literature, so that an overview of the determinants of China´s export growth from the Chinese academia can be generated. The purpose of phase one is to add valuable Chinese insights regarding China´s export considering the huge number of existing studies in the Chinese academia in the field of export determinants. Since the scarcity of individual level of factor which have influenced China´s export growth has been identified, I have conducted an in-depth qualitative case study in the second phase of my research to shed light on the micro-level mechanism of export decision process. In this way, the individual level determinants of China´s export growth has been explored and presented.
