Investment activity

Hello,

My name is Andriana Didyková, and I am a student at the Technical and Economic University in České Budějovice. Currently, I am working on my bachelor's thesis on the topic of Investment Activities of Companies in the Context of Industry 4.0. My goal is to gather as many responses as possible from companies engaged in activities related to the automotive industry.

Therefore, I would like to ask you to complete a short questionnaire, which will take less than 5 minutes of your time. The survey does not require sensitive information, only general information. Your participation in completing the questionnaire would be a great help and benefit to me.

The questionnaire includes both open and closed questions, and for some questions, you can select multiple options. If you prefer that the name of your company is not mentioned in the qualifying work, please check No for the second question, and the name of your company will not be disclosed. I guarantee your discretion!

Thank you for your time, and I wish you a pleasant day.

Andriana Didyková
