The Vexation at the workplace
Chaloupková, Naďa ; Hejda, Jan (advisor)
The border between common and vexation matter of person behaviour we are accustomed to is very slight. The topic of my diploma paper "Vexation at the workplace" becomes very actual and constantly the bigger problem in the contemporary modern society. Everyday mentally terror at the workplace, vexation among the colleagues, systematically made malignancies through which the superiors attack their inferiors (or vice-versa) is a problem that belongs serious incoveniences both to its victims and the company. My diploma paper is above all focused on the sophisticated and malicious area of work-vexation that is called the mobbing. Marginally I mention other forms of vexation and the bossing. I made my exploration at the public service environment as the work-vexation is usually put together with it. Primarily I point the legal and moral side of the mobbing and its psychological and social aspects. Secondarily I mark the mobbing as a job-psychological phenomenon, its influence to the company itself and consequences between it and some modern society trends (teamwork, power, burn-out syndrome, internet technologies). Supposing to become the managers we should make effort to eliminate the mobbing. As only the workplace without the vexation brings the satisfaction that can results in higher level of the work productivity, economic profit and the the incapacity of work decreasement. Thereby the mobbing affects the whole life of its victim and also that anyone of us can become the victim it is necessary to solve this problem urgently and constantly.

Support of film industry in the Czech Republic
Polický, Martin ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
In this bachelor work I'd like to focus on the reasons of support of the film industry from public sources. At first I deal with the question, whether an economic reasoning of state aid exists, or whether it's only lobbing of interest groups. Consequently I look at the process of getting subventions from State fund for support and development of the Czech cinematography. The aim of the work is to find out, whether this support brings benefits, or whether it only represents costs and tax spending. I expect the benefits to come up in form of the promotion of the Czech Republic abroad and in form of tax revenues from the film industry. I refer to reasons, why it is more advantageous to finance the cinematography from the private sector. I focus on the foreign production, for which is the Czech Republic an attractive place. I look at the possibility of investment incentives and their effect on film industry and I try to suggest how to improve current situation.

Lobbying in the European Union
Dvořáková, Jana ; Plchová, Božena (advisor) ; Jakš, Jaroslav (referee) ; Liška, Ondřej (referee) ; Telička, Pavel (referee)
Struktura lobbingu v Evropské unii pomalu posouvá k více demokratickému modelu. Nejvlivnější institucí není již Rada EU, ale nejvhodnějšími institucemi k lobbingu se stávají EP a Komise. Nejen tento posun přispívá k demokratizaci celého procesu, velkým přispěvatelem je lobbing samotný. Žádný zákonodárce na světě není schopen vědět vše o všem, není schopen vnímat všechny aspekty daného problému. Prapůvod vzniku lobbingu tkví v zájmových skupinách. Zákon je většinou kompromisem různých názorů a zájmů různých lobbistických skupin. Lobbing různých zájmových subjektů u volených zákonodárců je v této souvislosti jedním z důležitých přispěvovatelů k demokracii v Bruselu
