Studies of the current condition of management in the Czech Republic show, that strategic management is one of the greatest weaknesses in the management of Czech businesses when compared with their western competitors. The intended transformation of the Czech highway administration from the existing state allowance organisation to a company with a new legal status is an excellent opportunity to design a strategically oriented and well-organised body which will be capable to be effective in strategic development, investment, maintenance, and operation of the managed highway network. At the Brno International Business School considerable attention has been paid to studying strategic business management over the last ten years. It supports the effort of the CDV - Transport Research Centre to achieve a holistic approach to the strategic development of the transportation sector. The paper describes a possible way for drafting a strategy concept for transforming the highway administration.
