Position of the chosen industrial companies in connection to the mining

摘要

Mining is connected with various industrial sectors. Especially mining and metallurgy present one of the most important sectors in some countries, presenting contribution to the state economy. Therefore, its position is greatly influenced by the position of the connected industrial companies, mainly metallurgy and metal production. On the other hand, the ability of the company to develop and introduce its activity to the market depends on its financial performance. The goal of the contribution is to evaluate the position of 50 chosen industrial companies in Slovakia from the view of chosen performance and indebtedness indexes. Similarly, we analyse the size categories and position of the companies in the area of restructuring, liquidation and payment orders. The analysis had been made by statistic program R that is proper for the creation of statistic models and data analysis. The result of the evaluation in the contribution presents cluster analysis, through which we determine companies’ clusters from chosen sectors according to chosen financial indexes. The results confirm the position of the analysed companies in the frame of the sector is satisfactory. Improvement of the economic activity of industrial companies determines conditions for the possible improvement of mining and metallurgical business activity and finds the sources of companies’ growth.
