Social business is type of business, which primary objective is very different from the profit-driven business. Social business objective is to create an added value to society and achieve at least some profit, which serves as a means to achieve this goal. For my thesis I have chosen a business model analysis of the new organization Hub Prague, which is a representative of a social entrepreneurship and which has entered Czech market in 2010. I have examined mainly its income and expenditures and the consequent ability to survive in the future. I have chosen this topic because I believe the social business as a whole new kind of business has the ability not only to succeed in the market, but bring a positive impact and add value to people in its neighborhood as well. According to the analysis performed I think that Hub owners should pay attention to cash flow management to ensure sufficient funds to run the business. To ensure Hub's Access it should focus its marketing activities on right communication of its mission towards its potential and current members and monitor its capacity constraints.

Web 2.0 ? dopad na společnosta možnosti komerčního využití
Saktor, Marek ; Kubešová, Vlasta (advisor) ; Kašpar, Zdeněk (referee)
Cílem práce Web 2.0 ? dopad na společnost a možnosti jeho komerčního využití je vysvětlit čtenáři tento fenomén, zmapovat současnou situaci na poli internetových služeb a předvést možnosti jejich využití pro jednotlivce, malé společnosti i velké investory. Práce se také snaží nastínit pravděpodobný vývoj této oblasti a prokázat hypotézu, že společenské sítě zjednodušují získávání informací a tím zvyšují dokonalost konkurence na trhu. Práce začíná rozborem prvků, kterými se weby označované jako Web 2.0, tedy web druhé generace vyznačují. Jedná se především o silný důraz na uživateli generovaný obsah, zaměření na velké množství malých klientů, technologický návrh spočívající v lehkém klientu a robustní databázi, síťový efekt, který službu zkvalitňuje a neustále přidávání nových funkcí, zvané též jako permanentní beta. V druhé části je fenomén rozebírán ze sociálního hlediska. Zkoumá se motivace lidí přispívat komunitě, přínosy v oblasti politické, edukativní, rozvoje pracovního trhu a solidárních finančních půjček. Zmíněny jsou i největší hrozby, které se pojí se společenskými sítěmi ? riziko zcizení identity (citlivých osobních údajů), podvody s falešnou totožností a nebezpečí dětského zneužívání. Kromě analýzy těchto hrozeb je nabídnuto i možné řešení, jak se jim bránit a jak s nimi bojovat. Třetí část práce je věnována prostoru pro komerční využití. Popisuje se zde využití takzvaného word-of-mouth marketingu, jež spočívá ve vzájemném doporučování produktu uživateli, reklamy, kterou mezi sebou uživatelé šíří sami (virals), business model pro nový Web 2.0 a budoucnost způsobu prodeje hudby, filmů a knih. Ukazuje komunitní weby jako vhodný distribuční kanál pro drobné podnikání. Je zde i kapitola věnovaná online hře Second Life, která splňuje kritéria internetové služby druhé generace (veškeré objekty ve světě vytváří uživatelé) a má vlastní ekonomiku propojenou skrze pohyblivý měnový kurz s reálnou.
