Pfeiferová, Jitka ; Osuský, Michal (advisor) ; Buchtík, Martin (referee)
This thesis concerns topic of decision-making, primarily whether is it more rational or irrational process and what does it imply. To make the topic more concrete the thesis and qualitative research, which is its important part, is focused on decision making during shopping. The research is aimed at exploring proportion of rational and irrational purchases, course of whole process and factors which influence it. Starting point represents result of published research, which says that 70% of purchases are impulsive (unplanned) and therefore decision-making and people themselves are irrational. However research conducted within this thesis shows, that irrationality and impulsivity are probably two different categories which should not be confused together. After defining what does "irrational purchase" exactly mean it seems that respondents made circa 20% of irrational purchases while impulsive were 65% of purchases. Thus decision-making appears to be more rational, which leads to consideration, how could it work in general. Another important issue addressed in the thesis is existence of emotions as unconscious impulses which initiate and affect decision-making. The research indicates their existence, at that in all categories of purchases (even planned and rational).
