Approaches to diagnostics of agricultural and food-processing subjects
Abstract
Diagnostics of business subjects from the field of agriculture and food-processing, which are understood as socio-economic units, serves to determine the health of subjects considering them to be live organisms. These entrepreneurial subjects go through their development stages and their real-time status corresponds with the homeostasis of the business systems and the environment. The resulting diagnosis determined by diagnostic methods has to help to reach the goals, which - based on the activities of the business - lead to generation of an appropriate reaction to the identified status of the diagnosed business. Goal-setting is preceded by determination of the "a posteriori" anamnesis or diagnosis of the business.
