My final work deals with the concept of the vision from the point of view of general management and also the environment of nursery schools. It mentions the influence of political and social changes in the second half of the 90s of the 20th century and it projects their impacts into school environment, particularly into the area of nursery schools. The pieces of information about strategic planning and management, the concepts of mission and philosophy, SWOT and STEP analyses are enclosed in the work too. The work quotes the definitions of the concept of the vision, it searches for the forms by which the vision can be expressed. It takes into account the signs and the characteristics of the formulations, it defines the priority signs. It gathers the visions of the selected nursery schools from one region and it explores the individual statements from the point of view of their content, range, authorship, duration, way of communication and also the nature of the realized modifications. It compares the pieces of information acquired from the interviews with the headmistresses of the nursery schools with the pieces of information resulting from the questionnaires destined for the other employees of the schools. KEYWORDS: Vision, mission, strategy, SWOT and STEP analyses, nursery school.

Nováková, Zuzana ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Suchel, Jakub (referee)
Master's thesis entitled "Mission in the Life of Organization" explores the phenomenon of mission. The work is closely focused on the area related to non-profit organizations that provide social services for the target group of seniors. In the theoretical part is mission defined by recognized standards of quality of social services and from the perspective of literature. Furthermore I view it in the context of the needs and size of the target group and social demand backing group organization. Subsequent chapters are devoted to the topic of mission in context of strategic planning, fundraising, public relations and ultimately organization culture. In the empirical part I present the implementation of qualitative research. The research was conducted using a case study approach in two registered organizations providing social services to seniors. The aim was to answer the research question: How do perceive the mission of organization its employees? Research was conducted through semi- structured interviews methods. The result is the following statement, which is valid for both cases: All employees are able to interpret the mission of their organization through their own values and experiences. Whether the employee's mission is shared or not shared, or employees consider it to be part of a formal, is...

Analysis of the Pontifical Missionary Societies' Activities in the Czech Republic
Hajičová, Ivana ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Lorman, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of the thesis "Analysis of the Pontifical Missionary Societies' (PMS) Activities in the Czech Republic" is to determine to what extent the activities of Czech PMS are truly missionary. First, basic terms are defined: mission, charity, humanitarian aid, and development assistance (Chapter 1). What they all have in common is caring for others; charity and mission have religious motivation and are carried out by the Church, whereas humanitarian aid and development assistance are matters of a secular state (though in everyday use the terms are often confused). Charity, i. e. selfless help to those in need, does not have a religious goal, it is not an instrument of evangelization unlike mission, whose aim it is to proclaim the Gospel (Chapter 2). Mission lies at the heart of the PMS on a worldwide scale and for this purpose they were established: Society for the Propagation of the Faith 1822, Society of the Holy Childhood 1843, Society of St. Peter the Apostle 1889, and Missionary Union 1916 (Chapter 3). Since their renewal in the CR in 1993 the Societies have developed a wide range of membership forms and activities, and collection yields have grown tenfold (Chapter 4). What the money is spent on determines the basic character of the institution. Exact data of the National Office for 2011 and 2012 show...

Evangelization in the Concept of Tomas Halik
Vystavěl, Kamil ; Filipi, Pavel (advisor) ; Beneš, Ladislav (referee)
Evangelization in the Conception of Tomáš Halík. The thesis is directed at the term of evangelization and at Halík's understanding of it. The contributions collected and sorted from his books provide a look into his thoughts about essential elements of the evangelization and about ways of evangelization nowadays. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter contains a short presentation of the evangelization from several other sources. It shows that the Halik's conception is in certain degree polemic with some present ways of evangelization that result from the misunderstanding of the term. The following chapter includes analysis of the Czech society where the Gospel is to be proclaimed. This chapter also contains some various contributions showing that the evangelization manifests itself on different levels by different ways. The basis for all these ways is relationship of Christian love to other people. The third chapter is about preconditions that make possible this Christian love. It is primarily faith but faith in a very specific meaning. This faith is also the aim of the evangelization. The last chapter sums up the Halík's conception of the evangelization and at the conclusion the author of the thesis presents and evaluates some of the Halík's emphasises that he regards as especially...

Parish Social Works in the Czechoslovak Church from 1920 to 1955
Tichá, Františka ; Kolář, Pavel (advisor) ; Veverková, Kamila (referee)
SOCIÁLNÍ ČINNOST NÁBOŽENSKÝCH OBCÍ ( CČS) OD JEJÍHO VZNIKU DO PADESATÝCH LET 20. STOLETÍ PARISH SOCIAL WORKS IN THE CZECHOSLOVAK CHURCH FROM 1920 - 1955 Autor: Františka Tichá In this work, I pursued the parish social works in the Czechoslovak church from its rise to 1950's. I partially captured an origin of the roots of the Christian church's social works in chapter two. Chapter three describes the rise of the Czechoslovak church and its social works development. The views of some of the Czechoslovak church's theologians on social concerns are captured in chapter four. Chapter five analyzes the social works in three selected parishes. In chapter six, I explained how the Czechoslovak church's teachings were implemented in parishes. Chapter seven discusses the downfall of the social works within the Czechoslovak church after February 1948. In conclusion, I have arrived at an opinion that the social works unions laid out an admirable effort in this field. It is unfortunate that due to the political changes in 1948 the social works unions had to undergo a liquidation.
