Urbařová, Veronika ; Gullová, Soňa (advisor) ; Klosová, Anna (referee)
During the last years Switzerland has become the most favourite destination of the multinational corporations for localization of global or regional headquarters. The aim of this master thesis is to research the investment climate in each of the Switzerland's regions and to find out which factors play the most important role when multinational corporations are making decision about localization of their headquarters. In relation, I have defined another aim which is verification of the hypothesis which says that nowadays very important role in deciding about localization of multinational corporations' headquarters in Switzerland play soft factors. My first chapter explains the corporations' decision making about the localization of their headquarters. For that purpose I am using theoretical concepts for choosing business locations and above all the concept known as ,,emerging place decisions". At the end of the chapter I am going to confirm the practical usage of this concept through various study cases. In the second chapter I am going to concentrate on the multinational corporation's headquarters in Switzerland. I will describe not only the factors which influence its attractiveness, but also the situation and the characteristics of the headquarters in Switzerland. In the third chapter I am going to combine the obtained knowledge from the first two chapters in order to realize how cantonal offices function for promotion of the economics. First of all I will make a concept of the integrative management of the locations and furthermore I will mention the organization forms of these offices. Furthermore I will concentrate on their marketing point of view and on the cooperation between the cantons in this area. Finally in the fourth chapter I will first characterize the mutual trade and investment relations between the Czech Republic and Switzerland, including their promotion, and then I will try to evaluate the partnership between the Swiss and the Czech cities and regions.

Current Switzerland-EU relationship, reasons for non-accession
Bautina, Olga ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
Switzerland, a country in the heart of Europe, has been already sixty years keeping away from the complete European integration. So far this European country par excellence has not entered into the European Union and in the near future will not consider the full membership in this organization. This thesis tries to perform a complex analysis of Switzerland-EU relations, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. It deals with the possible scenarios of the Switzerland's European policy development in the near future and regards the possibility of EU membership as currently unacceptable. In this context, the author examines the reasons of the country's non-accession to the EU, starting with most obvious ones (political, economic) and ending with the least palpable ones, which are, nevertheless, the most entrenched in the minds of Swiss citizens (socio-psychological reasons).

Bohumil Snizek´s combat mission. From the Protectorate and back to the Czechoslovakia (5th May 1942 - 20th May 1945)
HOLENKA, Zdeněk
In my thesis I deal with the personality and life of Bohumil Snížek. He was one of those who did not reconcile themselves to the fascist Germany occupation of Czechoslovakia. Bohumil Snížek decided to take part actively in the restoration of his motherland. The circumstances compelled him to undertake a long journey through all Europe whose final destination was Great Britain. After a dramatic stay in Switzerland at Dr. Kopecky´s place and imprisonment in the concentration camp Miranda de Ebro he really managed to achieve his final destination via Gibraltar. It took him nearly one and half years. He joined there the newly being born Czechoslovak Foreign Army. He went to the Czechoslovak brigade which was trained for the fight with the enemy from its very establishment. Yet, the Czechoslovak brigade was not provided with the possibility of at least a little intervention in fighting for the liberation of Europe. Bohumil Snížek was detached to Europe by the end of the September 1944 together with the 2nd Armoured Regiment Czechoslovak Brigade. It was the time of the siege of a French port Dunkerque which was considered the battlefield of the second rank by the Czech soldiers. There was an attack on 28th October 1944 planned for the anniversary of the establishment of Czechoslovakia which became the greatest success of the Czech Army in combat. Bohumil Snížek also took part in this battle and was awarded the Czechoslovak Military Cross for his personal bravery. The Czechoslovaks would not mind that they did not manifest themselves in combat after this great success anymore but what they did mind was to connive helplessly at the events happening in Prag in May 1945. Along with the others, Bohumil Snížek came to the liberated Czechoslovakia in the middle of May 1945. His postwar destiny was quite similar to the destiny of the rest of "those from the West". The regime condemned him "only" to be rolled over by the waters of oblivion. Essentially, only his withdrawal from the Army and departure for the West borderland might have rescued him from even severer sanctions. Bohumil Snížek died of the sequel of injuries from Dunkerque in Aš 1959.
