Location and competitiveness of hi-tech industry in EU
Krošlák, Peter ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
The aim of my master's thesis is to assess the influence of research support of European Union on location and competitiveness of European high-tech industry. After defining high-tech industry according to OECD and ČSÚ (Czech statistical office) follows a part dealing with different forms of support of EU for high-tech industry, while the focus is also on volume and efficiency of invested money. I try to analyze the location with regard to European support and Porter's diamond theory. Since high-tech industry is usually concentrated in clusters, which are rather abundant in Europe as well, the focus is only on a few selected regions. Last part compares European competitiveness with that of other OECD members and developing countries based on data from OECD and Eurostat.

Zvláštnosti podnikatelského prostředí města Šanghaj s přihlédnutím ke Světové výstavě EXPO 2010
Šimůnek, Martin ; Müllerová, Františka (advisor) ; Král, Richard (referee)
Shanghai is the economic center of today's second largest economy in the world. This bachelor thesis deals with the business environment of Shanghai, taking into account its specifics and differences from the rest of the People's Republic of China. The thesis is thus an analysis of some particular business conditions and features -- namely economic, investment, political, legal, technological, cultural and social. It further analyses the emergence of the city and its gradual transformation into the financial and trading hub of Asia. Throughout the thesis, Shanghai is continuously put in the context of entire China, whereby the author intends to point out to the immense importance of the local economy for the national one. Shanghai's efforts to become the global metropolis and present itself as the most suitable city for foreign investment in China are further demonstrated on the basis of the World Expo 2010. That implies the subgoal of the thesis -- to spot the reasons for holding the exposition in China and sum up its consequences for the city, the region and China itself.
