Sažetak
The current pandemic, that has wider economic and social impacts,
will put to the test all enterprises, which will be forced to search for
new survival strategies and to create existential prognoses of business operations during great economic and social uncertainty and
new crises whose impacts are hard to predict. This fact motivated
the team of authors to realise the study that aims at researching
and quantifying the impacts of the pandemic COVID-19 on selected
areas of management in SMEs in the Czech Republic (CR) and the
Slovak Republic (SR). The research sample consisted of 1502 SMEs,
822 SMEs before the pandemic, 680 SMEs during the pandemic,
814 from CR, and 688 from SR. Attitudes between SMEs according
to nationality and period of research were verified with a chisquared test and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results of both countries
confirmed that the pandemic has a negative impact on the financial
performance of SMEs. The government economic measures may
help the enterprises to recover, said 40.0% of Czech entrepreneurs,
but only 30% of Slovak entrepreneurs. However, the entrepreneurs
in SMEs equally perceive other aspects of corporate governance
and business risk management during the pandemic.
