Norwegian Petroleum Sector
Basařová, Tereza ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
This study concerns Norwegian petroleum sector, main preconditions of its successful development and functioning and steps that were taken for this purpose. The study should give some insight into the Norwegian way of dealing with petroleum discoveries, primarily from the political, organizational and economic point of view. The paper is divided into four chapters. The first chapter concerns general circumstances affecting the functioning of petroleum sector, such as political, economic and social situation of the state, its position, timing of the petroleum discoveries and available industrial capacities and expertise. The second chapter deals with the initial period of petroleum activities and the relation between the state and international petroleum companies. The licensing system and the development of domestic capacities are mentioned here. The third chapter concerns the approach of the state, its values and long-term strategies, formulation of petroleum policies and legislation, creation of domestic administration and division of responsibility between the ministry, Statoil and Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. The fourth and final chapter concerns some economic issues such as the resource curse, state's incomes, protection of domestic economy, long-term economic planning and the petroleum fund.

LEARNING PROCESSES DURING CZECH REGIONAL ACTORS' PARTICIPATION IN INTERREG PROGRAMMES
Basařová, Tereza ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hauser, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the participation of Czech regional actors in the transnational and interregional branches of the INTERREG program in 2007-2013, using organizational learning theory. It focuses on learning processes on individual, group, and organizational levels. To a smaller extent, it also examines dissemination of knowledge towards other actors on the local and European level. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether these learning processes take place on all the mentioned levels and also to uncover the main obstacles of these processes. The method of the research is a questionnaire survey combined with semi-structured interviews. The research reveals that both individual and group learning take place during the projects. The most common barriers are complications stemming from differing environments of the actors (different political, institutional, legal, or administrative environments). Organizational learning takes place as well, but to a smaller extent than learning on the preceding levels. The main problem is the preservation of tacit knowledge. The research also suggests that effective dissemination of knowledge towards other local actors takes place as well. However, the relevance of the final project outcomes for other EU actors appears to be rather low.
