Cross-cultural training in multinational companies
Hořejšová, Vendula ; Raisová, Tereza (referee) ; Kocianová, Renata (advisor)
Cross-cultural training (CCT) represents an integral part of predeparture preparation for employees leaving for long-term job assignments, shortterm stays or business trips as well as for international team members. Developing intercultural competence, CCT can accelerate adjustment to new social environments and work conditions as well as mitigate difficulties occurring during the adjustment process. Good adjustment is a precondition of effective job performance at new location and, thus, enables achieving organizational goals. The thesis paper presents development of approaches to CCT design from the 1980s until now. Current approaches prefer an integrated CCT consisting of a general part - focused on cultural awareness and personal development - and a specific part - training employees for intercourses within a specific culture. Specific CCT methods and forms are further mentioned as well as the issue of CCT effectiveness. Introductory chapters shall give a brief overview of the specifics of international personnel management and cultural dimensions and standards.

Implementation of selected control algorithms for FPGA
Bradáč, Martin ; Vejlupek, Josef (referee) ; Grepl, Robert (advisor)
A real-time computer cRIO-9073 supplied by National Instruments, together with the software tool LabVIEW is a versatile system used in many fields, for both research and practical tasks. This thesis deals with the possibilities of the system. It is aimed primarily at performance testing, identifying potential limitations and showing its practical use. The whole system has undergone testing through the use of programs covering the wide spectrum of utilisation. cRIO also allows the use of other software tools in its programming. This thesis explores the options of using Matlab/Simulink from MathWorks and the generation of VHDL code using a product of Xilinx. The aim is to compare the demands on the resources consumed, by the Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in cRIO as well as the CPU load running the Real-time process.

Efficient Gathering of Performance Information on Multicore Systems
Tůma, Tomáš ; Yaghob, Jakub (referee) ; Tůma, Petr (advisor)
Modern multicore processors provide performance counters that export information on various essential aspects of software execution, from instruction decoding to cache utilization. Typically, a processor is capable of counting a small subset from hundreds of different event types, the events themselves can occur almost every processor clock tick. This yields a significant amount of data which is difficult to collect without disrupting the execution itself. The goal of the thesis is to apply compressive sampling - a special method of sampling signals that allows to reconstruct sparse signal from a small number of samples - to the performance counter data.

External Metric Hashing using the D-index
Jakl, Jiří ; Lokoč, Jakub (referee) ; Skopal, Tomáš (advisor)
The goal of this work was to implement recently presented data structure D-Index, to investigate behaviour of this metric access method and to compare its eciency with other indexing methods. As reference, M-Tree, PM-Tree and LAESA (approximated as PM-Tree with leaf pivots only) indexing methods were chosen. Performance measurements and comparison were done on various types of data with dierent distribution of distances.In this work, the D-Index structure was designed to support automatic build up of the index according to initial parameter setup and to allow dynamic insertion as well. Beside implementation of D-Index, an investigation of features of this indexing method was done. To achieve exibility and sucient performance of the solution, great eort was put on optimization and object realization. This allowed testing new ideas for choosing internal parameters and obtaining relevant results from measuring of investigated methods. The common principles (based on properties of metric spaces) of metric access methods were presented as part of their description. This work covered selected metric functions, several pivot selections and some aws of metric access methods.

Regression Benchmarking Web
Babka, David ; Parízek, Pavel (referee) ; Tůma, Petr (advisor)
During the software development the performance of the software is often important part of client requirements. Considering the constant development process of the software, comparison of the performance testing results could pinpoint to various defects in the source code, which could lead to optimizing software and its performance. This thesis focuses on implementation of flexible web application created for retrieving the performance results and presenting them in plots and other forms. The plots are dynamically generated to provide as much transparency as possible. This application will also provide the ability to send e-mails to users with the information about new measurement results.

Competing on Analytics
Nagin, Gleb ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Basl, Josef (referee)
Business analytics refers to the skills, technologies, applications and practisies for continuous iterative exploration and investigation of past business performance to gain insight and drive business planning. Business analytics focuses on developing new insights and understanding of business performance based on data and statistical methods. Business intelligence traditionally focuses on using a consistent set of metrics to both measure past performance and guide business planning, which is also based on data and statistical methods. Analytics makes extensive use of data, statistical or quantitative analyses, explanatory and predictive modeling, and fact based management to drive decision, making. Analytics may be used as input for human decisions or may drive fully automated decisions. In other words, querying, reporting, OLAP, and alert tools can answer questions such as what happened, how many, how often, where the problem is, and what actions are needed. Business analytics can answer questions like why is this happening, what if these trends continue, what will happen next, what is the best that can happen (optimize). Example of application analytics in different areas: banks use data analyses to differentiate among customers based on credit risk, usage of other characteristics with appropriate product offering. Harrah's company (from 2010 renamed and called Caesers entertaiment. Gaming corporation that owns and operate over 50 casinos, hotels, and seven golf courses under several brands), uses analytics for customer loyalty programs. Deere & Company (manufacturer of agricultural machinery like tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers and other) saved more than $1 billion by employing and implementing a new analytical tool to better optimize inventory. We can mention areas where within analytics are basic domain model: sales/retail business, financial services, risk & credit, marketing, fraud, pricing, telecommunications, supply chain, transportation and many others.
