The Ministry of Defence (MoD) Zrínyi Mapping and Communication Non-profit Limited Company (Ltd) belonging to the Ministry of Defence was founded 1st January2013, by uniting the MoD Zrínyi Communication and MoD Mapping Non-profit Limited Company. In order to ensure the most economical operation, the primary aim of the integration defined by the founder was the revision and possible merger of the capabilities existing in parallel in the two companies. The two predecessor firms would now work as one company, preserving all capabilities, on separate premises, as separate branches perform the mapping and communication tasks within the company. The mapping tasks, given their nature, cannot be accomplished market and profit based, therefore state funding is necessary. The support rate needed for the operation changes from year to year and often during the year, which makes the planning of mapping task procedures rather difficult and as a result the fulfilment of tasks is less efficient.The Ltd basically fulfils state tasks, however, in its spare capacity, business activities are also carried out. These business activities partly provide coverage for public tasks performed by the company, with which the amount of state funding can be lessened. The aim of my research was to examine the significant factors and effects determining the company’s mapping activity and to elaborate the suggestions for the solution of the revealed problems through a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analyses.
