New financial methods reveal disparities in performance evaluation of travel agencies.
The article examines how travel agencies in Slovakia can improve their financial performance using different methods. The researchers used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Economic Value Added (EVA) to evaluate the businesses. They found that the PCA method identified 6 key factors for performance, but it did not give the same results as the EVA indicator. This means that the two methods showed different strong and weak businesses. Overall, the PCA method is not as effective as the EVA indicator for measuring financial performance in this context.
