| Preliminary scope of work |
| Two firms in the same industry with the same number of employees (labor) and the same amount of the capital (capital) product still have almost always different added value, provided they come from different cultural background. There are some theories such as Total Factor Productivity (TFP), where the difference is hidden in the TFP but is not explained. In my Bachelor’s work I will try to explain this difference by the human capital features.
