Quality of life assessment in the selected regions by the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
CHROMÁ, Vendula
The diploma thesis aims to do a research into quality of life of the selected regions in the Czech Republic and so to identify strengths and weaknesses of the individual regions. The research is done by means of DEA method on the basis of chosen criterions. The DEA method determines the effectiveness of individual districts and so it shows the living standard. Moreover, the DEA method also suggests the way how to raise effectiveness in the case of inefficient regions. The thesis also focuses on strengths and weaknesses of production units, which comes out from the assessment itself. For the application of the model, economic and uneconomic indicators such as unemployment, work inability, criminality, air pollution and the apartments' costs were chosen. These indicators represent inputs. In outputs, there are density of the road network and average wages included. All data relates to the year 2010. The assessment itself is carried out via a special software Frontier Analyst.

Portfolio optimization
Arzumanov, Eduard ; Šindelářová, Irena (advisor) ; Chýna, Vladislav (referee)
Nowadays, when the financial sector influences directly or indirectly nearly every part of person's life, when inflation is taken as a normal phenomenon, when we are witnessing bankrupts of different companies, banks and other financial institutions almost on a daily basis due to the incorrect managing of the financial assets or due to the incorrect estimation of overall economic development, more and more often one should consider how to manage his funds to prevent their depreciation or even how to use them to increase its value. For these reason investment into securities has become one of the most common ways of increasing the value of one's financial funds. Particularly -- one way of investment is becoming more and more popular nowadays - financial portfolio investment. That is why this thesis not only will introduce the basic principles and rules of portfolio investment, diversification and the concept of risk (in theoretical part), but will also demonstrate how is the diversification of a portfolio done in practice. The example of portfolio optimization is done using multi-criteria decision analysis applied to a model, designed in MS EXCEL with help of VBA environment.

Maslák, Stanislav ; Ochrana, František (advisor) ; Vítek, Leoš (referee)
The topic of these Thesis is the use of the multi-criteria methods at budgeting the expenditure side of the state budget. The first chapter of the thesis describes in detail the ex ante analysis as a support tool for decisions on public expenditure and also the economy, efficiency and effectiveness as the criteria for the ex ante and ex post analysis of the public expenditure of the state budget. Furthermore, I describe here analysis of decision making, specifically the individual elements and the structure of decision-making process.The second chapter focuses on various methods of quantification of the weight of the criteria and the methods of multi-criterial decision. In the third, final chapter, I apply the methods described in second chapter to a specific example.

Consumer Behaviour on the Financial Market
TŘEŠTÍK, Miroslav
The outcome of this thesis are the weights of each parameter of payment methods that are used to interpret consumer recommendations and conclusions. The research revealed that consumers mostly used payment method for purchases from online stores is delivery, although it does not seem like a good choice. Instead of delivery, I may recommend credit card payment, which has only one weakness and that is security. This weakness can be put down by purchasing only at trusted sellers. It is also meant to be the fastest way of payment. Also payment through a text message is convenient and easy. The results of my thesis can be used by consumers to help orient themeselves between the payment systems used for online store purchases, as well as the operators themselves.

Consumer behaviour on the market with toners and print cartridges
SULEKOVÁ, Klára
The aim of this diploma thesis was to describe consumers{\crq} behaviour in the market with regards to print cartridges and to recommend the most suitable products to them on the basis of the established preferences and attributes. I used a questionnaire survey and a calculation of print cartridges parameter weights using the method of multi-criteria decision making. I found from the survey that the respondents mostly own ink multifunction equipment. Among the most commonly used printer makes are Hewlett Packard, Cannon and Epson. However, the proportion of less significant makes has dropped in the last three years. The respondents mostly buy original cartridges in shops and they buy black cartridges more often than colour cartridges. The main criteria for choosing a certain cartridge are price, quality and availability. The obtained information helped me select suitable cartridges for consumers. I found that cartridges are more readily available on the market in comparison to toners. When evaluating measurable attributes (price, quality and environmental friendliness) I calculated that in most cases it pays to buy renovated cartridges, especially for the evaluated cartridge from the makes HP and Canon and for toner makes HP and Epson. Epson cartridges contain a chip which prevents their renovation which is why I would recommend the purchase of a compatible cartridge. For the Canon toner I would recommend the purchase of a compatible cartridge too. In summary of my recommendations I would advise consumers to look closely at the price, volume, quality, producer and possibility to renovate when purchasing cartridges. I would further recommend buying ink printers as it is difficult to get cartridges for laser printers. I would point out that in most cases a rule applies: the cheaper the printer the more expensive the cartridge.

Consumer preferences' based testing of consumer products
VALDMANOVÁ, Markéta
I used questionnaire investigation to reach the goal of my thesis. I wanted to ascertain the behaviour of users in the market when using the relevant product and to establish the importance of the attributes of digital camera for the user on the base of the research. Further my task was to set the weights of the individual attributes for multi-criteria decision-making. To compare the offered products with the help of the selected technique of multi-criteria decision-making and to suggest suitable products for the users on the base of the weights found out. The ascertained data and results will be further utilizable for consumer organizations, specifically for the Spotřebitelský institut SOS, o.p.s. (SOS Consumer institute, quasi-public company). I came to the following results after having evaluated my research. Most respondents own digital cameras, most frequently brand PANASONIC, CANON and OLYMPUS. The highest percentage of respondents use their cameras to record the personally significant moments, identically most frequently several times a week or several times a month. The main reason to choose a new camera is its function and price and the users are most frequently ready to spend between 3 001,- and 9 000,- CZK. Respondents prefer black and silver digital camera. As I supposed that there would be certain differences among the parameter preferences between genders and experiences of the users, I divided the respondents into individual segments in which I performed my further research. If I should assess the parameters most preferred by the respondents, there are certain differences between genders and experiences of the users. It is possible to say generally, on the base of the ascertained highest values of weights, that all user segments prefer the following parameters: noise (sensitivity), camera speed, battery durability, megapixel resolution and optic zoom. The clearly unimportant parameter is the possibility of printing directly from the camera that is on the last place of importance in all segments. I compared 25 digital cameras on the base of multi-criteria decision-making and the ascertained weights. I can recommend more or less the following 7 suitable products to the individual segments: Canon PowerShot SX1 IS, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500, Canon EOS 40D, Canon Ixus 870 IS, Casio EX-V7, Canon EOS 50D, Nikon D300.
