Redesign of information systems in multimedia laboratory(GML) on VSE
Burda, Adam ; Horný, Stanislav (advisor) ; Krsek, Libor (referee)
This paper aims to describe and propose solutions to problems impairing the functionality of the Prague School of Economics' Graphics and Multimedia Laboratory (GML). The problems to be solved arise in the current information technology devices, more specifically in data back-up, usuitable hardware and lan connection as well as missing software. Finally, the paper discusses the idea of puchasing devices to be used outside the GML. The multimedia laboratory is concerned with issues relating to graphics creation and video adjustment. The solution put forward in this paper proposes using specific hardware designed for editing and graphics applications. While an effort is made to seek a multiple solution, the proposed adjustments require purchasing new hardware and software which are innovative if rather costly. Financially demanding as those are, both the optimal and the more budget-friendly options are introduced. Finally, an overview table summarises the costs, supplemented by detailed calculations. The solutions proposed are based on generally accepted procedures. These are modified in view of the author's experience of network administration and devising specific coputer systems.

Špačková, Petra ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The thesis "The Reforms in Turkey under the EU membership vision, 1995 - 2005" charts the sphere of political, social and economical reforms in Turkey. The reforms were divided into the three waves, which were started by, in EU - Turkey relations framework, breaking events (1995 - Custom union Agreement, 1999 - Turkey has obtained the candidate state statut, 2003 - pro-european R. T. Erdogan began the turkish Prime minister). This thesis also touches the EU member states positions to possible Turkey EU membership, which are often ambivalent. Neither the impact of turkish membership in Union (on EU functioning, on Turkey internal progress etc.) is omitted. The work summarized these important conclusions: 1) In the interest of Turkey's accession to the European Union really extensive reforms were realized and they are still realizing in this country. Compared to other accessive countries these reforms cover much larger sphere of life and they are much more extensive. 2) The focal point of reforms in Turkey is still in the legislative level (resp. theoretical level) - not in the practical life, where the reforms are realized very slowly. 3) The reasons of deficienty reforms realization lie mostly in the historical, also in cultural and especially in religious background of Turkey. 4) The reason behind opening...

Public support for research and development provided an indirect way in terms of SMEs with a focus on information assurance
Filipová, Vladimíra ; Drozen, František (advisor) ; Valder, Antonín (referee) ; Nedělník, Jan (referee)
Innovation is a critical factor of the economical development as it is the key source of a competitive advantage and brings an addend value of a concerete company (Zhang, 2O13); Technological innovation could be defined as an endogenous factor responding to economic challenges (McKenzie, 2OO8). Research and development provides innovations, whereas the production of research and development brings externalities. Externalities reduce the private return on investment as such, therefore research and development is an object of public support. Public support can be provided ether by direct or indirect form that includes primarily tax incentives. Small and medium-size enterprises play a key role in the innovation process, however they dispose limited resources for investments to research and development and also for administrative activities connected to tax incentive applications. Thus small and medium-size enterprises are more sensitive to associated administrative tasks. The objective of the thesis was set as follows: to contribute to the existing knowledge in the application of tax incentives and desing an appropriate tool for managerial support of tax incentives reporting in small and medium-size enterprises. This objective has been divided into the following sub-objectives: (1) identify issues related to the application of tax incentives for research and development in terms of small and medium-size enterprises and to compare them with reference research, carried out by Chittenden & Derregia (2O1O); (2) design a system to improve reporting of tax incentives in small and medium-size enterprises. A reference framework was provided to address the objective, the key findings are as follows: precise recognition of research and development activities and associated costs are crucial for an effective implementation of tax incentives (Billings et al., 2OO1); cost allocation in research and development activities is rather a complicated issue (Švejda et al., 2OO7, Godfrey & Hamilton, 2OO5), therefore a comprehensive reporting system shall be provided (Chittenden & Derregia, 2O1O) and these reporting systems should include accounting elements Bhiman (2OO6) and enable project division into phases (Jorgensen 2O1O). In accordance with the recommendation of Chittenden & Derregia (2O1O), Bourgeois and Eisenhardt (1988), Koners and Goffin (2OO7), Workman (1993) Singleton and Straits (2OO5), Morandi (2O11), Yin (2OO3) qualitative research based on structured questionnaires was chosen for exploring the first objective and case study for the second objective. The key findings of qualitative research based on structured questionnaires are: only top management and accountants were involved in the administration of tax incetives. Middle management and researchers were omitted, wherease in reporting of grant projects (realized with the direct support), they were fully involved. The case study research approved that a formalized system of management and reporting of research and development activities supports identification of a research project. Representative of a case company confirm that the formalized system of management and reporting supports decision making process and innovation performance, that corresponds to Bossink (2OO2). The main limitation of the research is the chosen method. The questionnaire survey was conducted in a selected sample of small and medium-size enterprises case study was carried out in a concrere company. The conclusions therefore can not be generalized. Further research can provide a more extensive survey that can be statistically generalize. Other possibity is the evaluation of a social impact as Galal & Wiener (2OO3) also suggest or description of differences in reporting research and development project realized without public support as Lokshin & Mohnen (2O12) recommend.

Marketing of e-Government in Czech Republic
Nádvorníková, Markéta ; Lechner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vláčil, Jan (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the possibility of an application of marketing tools in the public administration, particularly in the field of a gradual computerization of the public administration, called e-government. In the Part I, a suitability of the use of manager methods within the public sector is discussed and, a development of these implementations is outlined. An emphasis is then put on the marketing tools and methods of communication between the public authorities and the population. The communication issue is followed by a partial survey, which observes an openness of websites of selected national authorities. Finally, the main analysis of the thesis is to evaluate the public awareness of the possibilities of using the e-government services in our country. The questionnaire-based survey disproved an initial hypothesis, that the lower utilization of some tools is a result of a lack of information provided to the citizens.
