Results of correspondence analysis are included in graphs, which
illustrate relations between individual categories and variables.
By using symmetrical normalization simplifies examining the
relationships between individual categories of the variables.
Gained results are confirmed by significance value of Chi-square
test. According to computation significance relationship between
observed factor and both of corporate size and region are at
value 0,000 (see Table 6).
Picture 1 displays the relations among the individual categories
and variables, specific links among European region and
factor 1, is the output of the correspondence analysis. Three
separate groups of categories can be identified. We can say that
western companies are at the top of the performance level, on
which they focus on. Second highest connection have companies
from south Europe. Last, third region are eastern companies with
the lowest focus on measurement performance. Vice versa,
companies from northern Europe are in segment within the
highest performance, but outside of this connection.
Furthermore, a relation between the size of the company and
factor 1 has been investigated in three separate groups.
Generally, Picture 2 indicates that micro-companies don’t care
about performance measurement (reach the lowest level). Vice
versa, medium companies look after the most performance
production. Large companies are situated too far from the
observed groups.
5 Discussion
According to results of correspondence analysis there is obvious,
that behaviour of outdoor producers are different due they
