| Popis | The empirical research provides evidence that companies plan the activities related to reverse flows diversely; some companies formulate strategic plans for this field, others specify tactical or operational plans only, and significant part of companies plan no reverse flows at all. Similarly, the strategic focus on reverse flows varies among companies in terms of its intensity and content. The article provides a piece of outcomes of an empirical research conducted among companies operating on Czech market. On the sample of 148 firms, a regression analysis was calculated to answer the question if the strategic aims and the formal planning of reverse flows are related to profitability of reverse logistics activities. The finding supports literature resources that provide either theoretical or empirical support of the existence of such relationships. |
