The Novel Shengsi pilao by Mo Yan and Historical Fiction in the Contemporary Chinese Literature
Hovorková, Petra ; Andrš, Dušan (advisor) ; Lomová, Olga (referee)
The novel Shengsi pilao, written by a contemporary Chinese author Mo Yan, is a free continuation of authorʼs preceding writings recounting the lives of family clans in the Shandong province countryside during the 20th century. The novel employs a specific literary style in exploring history of the PCR from 1949 to 2000, using a story of a landownerʼs soul reincarnating itself to several different animals to be finally born as an extraordinary child. Some of authorʼs preceding works were characterized as "new historical fiction (NHF)", a wave of last century late 80ʼs Chinese fiction. NHF revives some of traditional Chinese fiction narrative techniques and introduces certain literary innovations at the same time. Thus it differs from earlier historical fiction, both traditional and modern. Its main characteristic is deconstruction of authorial representation, challenge to legitimacy of the official history and negation of Chinese modernity. This theses brings forward an analysis of narrative techniques, subjects and general meaning of the novel within the context of authorʼs previous work and considers its relation to NHF.

Franchising as a market entry strategy
Hovorková, Petra ; Turnerová, Lenka (advisor) ; Drozen, František (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on franchising and a practical application of a theory. The theoretical part describes basic principles of franchising, its advantages and disadvantages and franchise agreement. I put more emphasis on development and current state of franchising in the Czech Republic. I describe and evaluate franchising in the company Alpine Pro in the practical part of the thesis. I show that a purely Czech franchise concept is able to succeed in stiff competition - and not only in the Czech Republic. The aim is to evaluate franchisor - franchisee relationship (on the basis of the questionnaire research) and to suggest some measures and recommendations that would lead to improvement of the weak points of the franchise concept Alpine Pro.

Hovorková, Petra ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Jelínek, Tomáš (referee)
Slovenia gained its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Its main goal was to become a member of the European Union, which was achieved in 2004. As the first of the new member countries it adopted the euro as its currency on 1 January 2007 and in the first half of 2008, Slovenia held the Presidency of the EU. The aim of this work is to describe the economic development of Slovenia (both as a part of Yugoslavia and after gaining its independence), specifics of accession negotiations with the EU and conditions of the Treaty of Accession. The work also includes the case study of Slovenian firm Gorenje Group. This company can be given as an example of successful expansion of Slovenian firm in the EU internal market.
