CZECH NATURALISTIC RURAL DRAMA IN POSTMODERN PRODUCTIONS
Pokorný, Vít ; VEDRAL, Jan (advisor) ; FRANZ, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis analyses several plays of postmodern Czech naturalistic rural drama. By using comprehensive analysis and numerous examples, the work deals with the key question why traditional realistic dramas based on the mimetic principles are so attractive for the nonconformist and provocative authors, generally known as postmodernists.The work introduces the term postmodernism as a new philosophical way of seeing Euro-American civilization but also as an artistic style, which gives these thoughts an aesthetical basis in the context of Czech and also world history and culture. To get the essential knowledge of the topic, the main principles of realistic and naturalistic poetics are introduced. The work is trying to find an answer to the question ask above by analysing seven plays of postmodern Czech naturalistic rural drama. The analysis is based on experience of spectators and readers and also numerous examples from postmodern literature, film, fine art and music. The key factor of this analysis is the conflict of archetypal human essence and today often discussed absence of transpersonal order, which affects humans even against their will. The interpreted texts work with the topics of human struggle with love, faith, responsibility and compassion, which seem to be very attractive for the postmodern artists. These kinds of texts can give us an evidence of the epoch we live in. Whether the personal freedom ruined human faith in some greater sense or the sexual revolution actually buried the metaphysical essence of love. As an author, I came to the conclusion, that discussed plays demonstrates a postmodern human as a schizophrenic being, denying under the influence of general moral status existence of universally valid order, in spite of seeking this order in its soul desperately. Introducing my own concept of “the great second”, I try to defend my conviction, that in this exhausting struggle, the art can be for human desired, purifying and fulfilling power

Performance Appraisal as a Human Resource Management Tool in the Field of Agriculture
Venclová, Kateřina ; Macák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fejfarová, Martina (referee)
Purpose: The aim of this PhD dissertation is to design a performance appraisal system as
a Human Resource Management (HRM) tool for selected professions in the field of agriculture in the Czech Republic. Further objectives of the dissertation are to identify the significance of HRM and performance appraisal in the field of agriculture within generational change. A subsequent objective is to create a theoretical performance appraisal system for selected professions as a tool of HRM. Further objectives are to determine the current state of formal performance appraisal and to identify the input criteria of an appropriate performance appraisal system for the field of agriculture.
Research design/methodology/approach: The research for this dissertation has been developed on the basis of a mixed methods research design, involving a sequential strategy based on quantitative and qualitative research methods. Moreover a pragmatic philosophical approach has been adopted. The quantitative and qualitative elements of the strategy adopted include study of pertinent literature, an electronic questionnaire, personal interviewing, one--dimensional and multidimensional statistical methods.
Findings: A performance appraisal system for selected professions as a tool of HRM in the field of agriculture in the Czech Republic has been designed, together with possible areas for future research. The survey conducted has shown over a period of 3 years that the majority of agricultural organizations do not utilise any performance appraisal system. However, this research demonstrated the significance of a performance appraisal system in the context of the selected HRM model within generational change in the field of agriculture. The research also explored the currently used performance appraisal methods, identified appraisers and appraisees, the purposes of performance appraisal in the field of agriculture, and performance appraisal connection to the reward system.
Research limitations: The random sample of agricultural organizations was not necessarily representative of the industry as a whole, because the sample taken was a purposive sample. The length and structure of the questionnaire developed for this research was not sufficient to permit the detailed identification of performance appraisal methods used and the criteria applied in the field of agriculture. In order to compensate for this limitation, personal interviewing with a random sample of informants was conducted.
Originality/value: No previous research focused on performance appraisal in the field of agriculture has been conducted in the Czech Republic. The research described in this dissertation presents the first detailed description and analysis of the currently used performance appraisal system for the field of agriculture in the Czech Republic. The Author recommends that the currently used performance appraisal system should be used to extend other performance appraisal methods focused in the areas of process and input to reach higher attitude of HRM. In addition, the author highlights the importance of performance appraisal outputs in the connection to the reward system. The specific performance appraisal system proposed here may be beneficial for good management during a period of generational change. Furthermore, it may support more effective human resource management in the field of agriculture. It is hoped that this PhD dissertation may provide the basic groundwork for further research in other HRM areas and performance management.

Party Preferences and Voting Model in December 2016
Červenka, Jan
In December survey CVVM investigated how people trust to political Parties and whether they are willing to take part in elections to Chamber of Deputies. In the press release there are two different types of information: Party preference and a model of voting behaviour.\nParty preferences give us information about public sympathy with political Parties in the group of citizens who have voting right and there is also included a part of citizens who will not take part in elections or they do not knot who to vote for.\nVoting model indicate anticipated result of elections to Chamber of Deputies in the time of the survey. Voting model comes out of Party preferences but it includes only those who want to take part in elections and they answered us a Party they would vote for – in short this group does not include undecided people and non – voters.

The Overture to the First Version of the Opera King and Charcoal Burner
Myslivcová, Eva
The issue of different versions of works of music is one that is discussed in the case of Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904), and in a certain sense it is connected with the theme "old and new", when an older, earlier, or first version becomes the basis for a newer one. This text focuses on a specific example of different versions, that of the overture to the first setting of Dvořák's opera King and Charcoal Burner from the year 1871. An overture which, as an integral part of the opera, was based on the musical material contained in the work, which eventually was never performed. And at the same time an overture that was the only part of this opera to "survive", was later transformed by the composer himself to a concert overture and thus became an independent work, while the opera's libretto was set to new music. This is in a nutshell the rather complicated genesis of the opera King and Charcoal Burner, during which the Concert Overture in F Major took shape as a new composition, created from the musical material of an old one.

Změny obchodních modelů v souvislosti s aplikacemi mobilního obchodování
Šafka, Jan ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Molnár, Zdeněk (referee) ; Zralý, Martin (referee)
Práce vznikla jako reakce na masivní rozvoj mobilních technologií, přičemž většina podniků přistupuje k implementaci živelně, bez potřebné analýzy současného prostředí a bez realizace komplexních změn v jejich podnikání tak, aby využily všech výhod mobilního prostředí. Cílem práce je analyzovat možnosti podniků při aplikaci mobilního obchodování do jejich systémů a procesů. Práce ukazuje jak komplexně řešit změny v přístupu podniku, v jeho obchodních modelech, ve vztahu k projektům, procesům i zákazníkům tak, aby podniky maximálně využily potenciálu mobilního podnikání. Zároveň si klade za cíl být návodem pro implementaci mobilních řešení v podniku tak, aby podnik maximalizoval užitek ze zavedení mobilních řešení a zároveň tato řešení vycházela ze současného stavu a z potřeb podniku. Práce se zde soustřeďuje hlavně na změny procesů, metrik, personální politiky a architektury informačních systémů a poukazuje na faktory úspěšnosti mobilních projektů. Cílem práce je zároveň vyplnit mezeru v odborné literatuře, kdy ve většině prací chybí propojení technologického pohledu na obchodního, tedy mobilních technologií se zaměřením na jejich komerční využití v praxi a budoucí rozvoj těchto technologií opět s ohledem na jejich obchodní využití. Mezi další cíle patří vymezení terminologie mobilního podnikání a analýza silných a slabých stránek jednotlivých technologií pro jejich využití. Práce je členěna do tří logických částí, do části definiční, analytické a aplikační. V části definiční se na základě odborné literatury vymezuje předmět řešení a definují základní pojmy oblasti mobilního podnikání. Část závěrů a definic vznikla vlastním odvozením na základě dostupných teoretických zdrojů obchodních modelů, mobilního podnikání, či teorií internetového podnikání z univerzit v ČR, Evropě (zejména v Německu a Švýcarsku) i USA. Analytická část ukazuje současný stav mobilních technologií a zároveň i analýzu možností těchto technologií. Základem a přínosem je zde právě analýza těchto technologí a jejich vztah k jednotlivým obchodním modelům, jsou zde také hodnoceny i jednotlivé modely a jejich připravenost na mobilní obchodování. Součástí aplikační části je vlastní návrh konkrétních změn v podniku u jednotlivých obchodních modelů a to nikoliv pouze změn technologických, ale jejich integrace se změnami procesními, personálními a změnami metrik tak, aby se úspěšně implementovaly všechny výhody mobilního podnikání. Jádrem práce jsou tedy návrhy holistických změn v podniku. Tyto změny vychází z mých návrhů, které byly následně modifikovány pří práci ve fokusních skupinách projektových manažerů mobilních řešení, část (hlavně komplexní řešení změn) vychází z vlastních výzkumů a zkušeností, které byly následně prověřeny implementací v praxi v českých i mezinárodních podnicích. Celá tato doporučení jsou zasazena i do kontextu právního rámce a jsou zde zohledněny i významy pro jednotlivé faktory úspěšnosti imlplementace mobilních řešení u každého z obchodních modelů. Tyto faktory vycházejí z analýzy fokusních skupin a dotazování oborníků z praxe. Práce by tedy měla hlavně sloužit jako metodický podklad pro změnu v jednotlivých obchodních modelech podnikání a zároveň sloužit jako teoretický základ pro oblast mobilního podnikání a to zejména doplněním odborné literatury o chybějící témata.

Possibilities for developing sustainable transport in Prague
Macháč, Richard ; Černá Silovská, Hana (advisor) ; Kolaříková, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerned with the issue of sustainable transport. In the theoretical part, the emphasis is placed on setting the concept of sustainable transport into a broader context; it also describes various factors influencing the choice of the means of transport, which is crucial for transport planning. Furthermore, it describes a set of diverse tools used for transport regulation. At the end of the theoretical part, it mentions specific approaches implemented in selected cities all over the world. The practical part is based on a significant personal research, which helps to understand the issues of transport in a selected area of Prague. On the basis of this research, it subsequently suggests possible measures that might lead to a decrease in the intensity of automobile transport in the aforementioned area. Most of those measures can be similarly applied in other city areas as well.
