Essays on Economic Behaviour
Hudík, Marek ; Kadeřábková, Božena (advisor) ; Pavlík, Ján (referee) ; Boettke, Peter (referee)
The main thesis of these essays is that social phenomena are different from psychological phenomena and thus social sciences do not belong to behavioural sciences. Chapter 1 introduces the fundamental problem of the rational choice theory ("Macaulay's problem"): either the theory is empirical and false or it is without empirical content and true. Various suggested solutions to this problem are reviewed and criticized. It is argued that the problem is evaded once it is admitted that rational choice theory does not attempt to explain behaviour. It was developed to explain decreasing individual demand and its extension to behavioural sciences is illegitimate. In Chapter 2 the difference between the interpretation of rationality in choice theory and demand theory is shown. It is argued that choice theory must adopt the agent's point of view, while demand theory proceeds from the point of view of an observer. Chapter 3 applies the argument to the problem of indifference ("Nozick's problem"): it claims that choice theory must adopt strict ordering of alternatives because indifference is already accounted for in the description of the choice alternatives. The difference between the consumer perception and the objective price-quantity relation embodied in the demand function is further explored in Chapter 4 on the example of the Rothbardian demand theory. It is argued that the law of marginal utility defined in terms of subjective units (i.e. units relevant to the consumer) does not imply nonincreasing demand. Chapter 5 is complementary to the previous and attempts to answer the question, whether the concept of marginal utility is compatible with ordinalism. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses on the methodological level the difference between behavioural sciences and economics. It argues that the difference can be conveniently described with the help of Popper's concepts of 'World 2'and 'World 3'.

Cimler, Lukáš ; Žid, Norbert (advisor) ; Šedivá, Zuzana (referee)
Nowadays the sharing of information within the organisation with an emphasis on easy access and a speed of searching becomes more important. For this purpose the organisations use the intranet features. The intranet and its functions, especially from the perspective of users/employees, is what this bachelor thesis treats of. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part concerns especially about an explanation of the basic concepts, a general description of the functions and the intranet planning and its security. The practical part presents the intranets of concrete organizations and major groups of their functions. The goal of this thesis is to show the basic functions of groups with concrete examples from each of the presented intranet. The goal of this thesis is to show the basic groups of functions with concrete examples from each of the presented intranet that demonstrates the user's possibilities of these basic groups of functions and the following summary and description of the common features of all three internal network.

Lukášková, Sára ; Klíma, Michal (advisor) ; Jakš, Jaroslav (referee)
Bachelor thesis examines the position of the European Commission within the European Union's institutional system.Commission's position in this bachelor thesis is examined from the perspective of formal and informal functions that it takes. This approach was chosen because it defines the functions performed by the European Commission of its position against other EU institutions. These functions determine the size of its power and influence. The aim of this paper is to describe various features of the European Commission and explain the changes that this institution has undergone the course of European integration. The bachelor thesis seeks to define the current status of the Commission after the ratification process of the Lisbon Treaty.

Comparison of certain characteristics of non-profit sector in the CR and the USA
Dobešová, Jana ; Doležalová, Antonie (advisor) ; Sunega, Petr (referee)
Neziskový sektor hraje nejen v České republice, ale také ve všech vyspělých ekonomikách, stále větší roli. Proto je užitečné na jeho existenci a růst reagovat a pomocí analýz, komparací a studií nejen mu, ale celé společnosti, pomoci v jeho poznání. Práce se nejprve zaměřuje na podání stručného historického vývoje, důležitých definic, terminologie, funkcí a teorií vzniku neziskových organizací. Na základě tohoto popisu potom komparuji americký a český model podle os komparace, kterými jsou institucionální formy, financování a oblasti působnosti ziskového sektoru. Hlavním cílem mé diplomové práce je pomocí komparace poukázat na změny a společné rysy, které by mohly pomoci při hledání, poznání a institucionálním ukotvování českého neziskového sektoru.
