Cluster 1, as described above, is predominantly populated by small production plants / workshops. However, if we compare the results obtained with the results of the cluster analysis for other previously researched sectors of the Czech economy – retail and educational activities (Bobkov et al., 2017, Bobkov et al., 2018), we can draw the following conclusion: motor vehicle manufacturing companies are mainly developing by increasing the size of companies without separating separate units. Only after reaching a certain size of enterprises begins the process of formation of horizontally integrated structures. The formation of separate subdivisions in small production enterprises can be explained by the creation of horizontal-segmented enterprises with the possibility of embedding these segments in the relevant production chains. This significantly distinguishes the results obtained from the previously obtained results of research organizations of retail trade and private educational organizations, where for each level of development clearly formed the appropriate clusters or groups of clusters. The paper results of researches can be used at working out of strategy of development of enterprises on manufacturing of motor vehicles and business models of their functioning. Furthermore, the paper has practical and managerial implications by transferring the study into small enterprises, where there are lean production systems and this study could draw path for future organizational development.
