Abstract

There is a clear need to research the issue of planning processes within companies. Although there are many publications on individual planning processes, insight into the impact of foreign capital participation after the COVID-19 pandemic is lacking. The focus of the study is the determination of statistically significant differences in individual management planning processes, whilst identifying differences in the functioning of companies both with and without foreign capital participation. The method of data collection was an interview and questionnaire survey conducted into seven aspects of the planning process, namely setting goals, generating plans, marketing planning, production planning, personnel planning, financial and investment planning, and monitoring. The influencing factor “foreign capital participation” was selected for particular focus. As our results suggest, foreign capital participation in companies has a fundamental impact on a company’s planning processes, sustainability and efficiency. The conclusions drawn are that foreign capital participation has a fundamental impact on our understanding of the business environment, and that to sustain a high-quality business, the issue requires even more in-depth research.
