Marie-Anna Bitnerová VERASP, FSV UK Abstract The diploma thesis deals with strategic planning at the level of ministries of the Czech Republic (with a focus on the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence).

The research was carried out using five in-depth interviews with child educators of five Prague-based day-care centres. Based on that data set it appeared that child educators seem to feel most accountable for their services towards the children's parents and most morally accountable towards the children themselves. The principle of cooperation appears to be very important in terms of accountability, where accountability takes place through communication, communication leads to trust, trust to cooperation, cooperation to the cooperation of all participants, and this cooperation in turn enables the...
