Zeman, Adam ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Žamberský, Pavel (referee)
Foreign direct investment has been one of the main means of transferring and spreading economic progress throughout the world for at least a few decades. Its importance has risen by the technological development and globalization, especially in the second half of the 20th century. Technology and physical factors have become more mobile than ever. Therefore, the influence of country-specific factors such as domestic characteristics of the economy, level of corruption, or political factors on the movement of FDI has risen higher than ever before. The aim of the thesis is to point out whether non-economic factors, such as political factors or corruption, influence the decision to undertake FDI, or not. The thesis is based on the case-study of the Slovak Republic, specifically its automotive industry. The first part of the thesis introduces the main concepts and theories concerning with FDI and portrays its possible influencing factors. The second empirical part of the thesis illustrates the case of the Slovak Republic and its investment environment, specifically in the case of major automotive FDIs of the last two decades.

Investor of building (Roman Catholic parish) asked ITAM AV ČR, v.v.i. for an analysis of wall mortar of the St. Wenceslas church in Chlum. The reason for this investigation carried out was the fact that the mortar applied to the wall in 2010 shows after winter disturbances, which reflected a lack of cohesion and adhesion of mortar to the substrate. The mortar is crumbling in many places, sometimes its fragments fall off. The investor asked for an analysis of the composition of applied mortar and the assessment of the suitability of materials for the construction.
