Marketing research for a chosen company
MAREŠ, Petr
The topic of this diploma thesis was: Consumer marketing research for a chosen company. The research was done for the supermarket Albert. The aim of my thesis was to find out how opening of the commercial - traffic centre ``Mercury centrum{\crqq} has influenced shopping decisions and customer behaviour with respect to the supermarket Albert and, eventually, to propose a solution. I tried to analyse the marketing research process in detail in the theoretical part of my thesis. I tried to analyse the individual steps in detail and I followed these theoretical rules when working up the practical part of this thesis. Further, I dealt with the issue of shopping behaviour and consumers{\crq} decision-making process. In the practical part of this thesis I investigated shopping behaviour of both current and potential customers of the supermarket Albert using the marketing research. In order to acquire necessary information I decided for a personal attitude through questioning as it is supposed to be the most universal way of questioning. Randomly stopped people who went down the Lannova třída answered the questionnaires. I used computer software Microsoft Excel and Statistica 6.0 for evaluating the collected data. After evaluation of the gained data, I tried to propose some solutions that might lead to re-increase in revenues of this supermarket. Predominately I proposed steps that should make the current customers do their shopping more frequently and on a larger scale. Moreover, I believe that the supermarket Albert should try to lure new customers especially of the ranks of the students of the Faculty of Education.

Patents: Means to Innovation or Strategic Ends?
Štěpánek, Martin ; Schwarz, Jiří (advisor) ; Vlasáková Baruníková, Michaela (referee)
This paper utilizes an extensive dataset of 163,663 US patents granted between 1976 and 2011 to 25 companies within four technological fields (aerospace in- dustry, computer manufacturing, semiconductor industry, and software devel- opment), to observe fluctuations in their value and characteristics. I find that certain indicators have changed immensely during the last 36 years, suggesting that newer patents are much less valuable than their predecessors. Further, using Data Envelopment Analysis, I estimate relative production efficiency of transformation of inputs (research and development expenses and company's workforce) into outputs (patent stock and its technological importance), to provide an empirical evidence for the recent theories of strategical patent ex- ploitation by large companies. I find that the efficiency varies considerably for different industries and also for the companies within an industry. There is an overall trend of increasing efficiency in patent production per unit of input, but there is none in the effectiveness of creating valuable inventions, which seems to depend only on the company itself.

On Supervision of Financial Markets by Czech National Bank : (focused on Consumer Protection in the Financial Markets)
Skácelík, David ; Marková, Hana (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee) ; Švarc, Zbyněk (referee)
1 On Supervision of Financial Markets by Czech National Bank (focused on Consumer Protection in the Financial Markets) This work deals with the consumer protection in the financial markets in the Czech Republic. The opening part of this thesis briefly describes the situation in Czech(oslovak) legislation before 1989. The governing system was not at that time conducive to significant economic activity and the scope of financial markets was limited. As a consequence, legislated protection of market participants had not to be extensive. Need for consumer protection increased after the then-prevailing economic model had been changed into the current market-oriented model. The expansion of economic activities, including the development in the financial markets, necessitated simultaneous passing of updated law more suited for the new social circumstances. Owing to the preparation of the Czech Republic's entry into the European Economic Community at that time, it was necessary to harmonize the new Czech law with the laws of the Community. Besides the change of the "Code civil" as a basic regulation of private law, new specific regulations have been passed - for example the Consumer Protection Act or the Consumer Credit Act. In connection with the formation of capital markets, it become necessary to issue entirely...

Suchá, Radka ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
Julien Green (1900-1998) was the famous novelist of the 20th century. He was dealing with spiritual and moral dilemmas in his novels, which were among others due to his life experience with several faiths. He was also the author of an extensive diary and autobiographical works. He was keeping diary from young age and covers almost the entire 20th century. His aim was not to describe events, rather to let his thoughts, observations and dilemmas took shape. This work aims to explore that angle of Green's work and reveal its character. It will thematically examine specific centers of interest through this work, focusing on the relationship that exists between the diaries and autobiographical prose, whether by consensus or differences in the content, but also in the form of works. The final goal is to transcribe a specific form of statements about himself, which Julien Green created. Keywords autobiography, introspection, christianity, history, intimacy
