Kubiszová, Daniela ; Křečková Kroupová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Beneš, Martin (referee)
Nowadays, most of the countries in the world are getting more and more dependent on each other, both politically and economically. Along with that, cultural clash comes inevitably influencing are private lives and working environment. Multinational companies get the opportunity of using the potential of diverse cultural environment which is challenging the managers, and other employees, to increase their competencies. The goal of this thesis is to identify the Indian cultural standards from the Czech point of view and the Czech ones from the Indian point of view. The theory of the thesis is based on cultural models by Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars. The cultural standards are being identified by using the method of critical incidents where the selected respondents are being interviewed. The thesis analyses at which aspects the two examined cultures differ the most and how it influences the working environment and performance. The research results are compared to other theoretical models and the thesis provides recommendations on how to work with the identified standards in order to make the Indian-Czech cooperation as efficient as possible.

Unemployment in the district of Děčín - efficiency of active labour market policy
Beneš, Martin ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Durdisová, Jaroslava (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyse the success rate, targets and expenses of retraining courses in the Děčín district between the years 2007 -- 2012. The targets were evaluated using the targeting index and the success rate using the gross effect. Retraining courses in the Děčín district were aimed the least at minorities; on the other hand we can observe signs of the creaming off effect. Thanks to the gross effect it was observed that within 12 months after attending retraining courses, 50 % of candidates found a new job. Retraining courses as a tool are therefore effective. An indirect relationship was observed between the length of unemployment and the level of gross effect. A 3 year return of the retraining courses was observed at work. Highest proportion of data for the thesis was obtained from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the Czech Statistical Office and from the Report on the Situation of the Labour Market in Děčín

Language Norm and Possible (Empirical) Methods How to Investigate It
Beneš, Martin
In its first part, this paper postulates the need for empirical research in the field of the (Czech) theory of language cultivation. Following the paper written by J. Homoláč and I. Nebeská (2000) it is assumed (on the methodological level) that language users intuitively link linguistic means with the so-called stylistic indices, e.g. with certain characteristic that the language user sense based on the context in which the particular linguistic means are perceived as appropriate. In the second part, this paper outlines possible experimental methods that could be used for investigating the speakers' actual links between particular linguistic means and their stylistic indices. The main focus is the Implicit Association Test.

Analyses and rationalization of reverse logistics within DHL Exel Supply Chain, Automotive UK
Beneš, Martin ; Pernica, Petr (advisor) ; Jirsák, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis has been created based on the demand of the management of DHL Exel Supply Chain and Swindon Pressings Limited to increase the efficiency and utilization of resources employed within they operations. The theoretical introduction part is first of dealing with the terms "logistics" and "supply chain management" in the perspective of their use in the contemporary logistics theory, comparison of their meaning (are there differences) and explanation of their use in this thesis. Subsequently I am explaining "reverse logistic" and its position in the structures of corporations and logistics itself. Supply chain management and the concept of lean manufacturing combined with the six sigma approach are, from my point of view, essential for today's supplier-customer relationships. That is why those topics are examined in the last part of the theoretical chapter. Returnable packaging and the transport process are key elements of the second part -- practical part, the reengineering of logistics processes which occurred at Swindon Pressings Limited. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the give problem, develop problem solving options and critically comment them. Finally choose one of the options, implement it and document the process of "going live".
