Global production networks in the case study of stationery producer KOH-I-NOOR Hardtmuth
Kokoš, Roman ; Brabcová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Hána, David (referee)
The dynamic change of pace and depth in international economic integration is making its impact on the global system more significant than ever before. After political changes in Czechia we have witnessed the growth of foreign economic activity by firms, which are now allowed to be part of liberalized global economical environment. The subject of interest chosen is the traditional Czech pencil manufacturer KOH-I-NOOR Hardtmuth. Which is one of the leading stationery producers who competes with its rivals on a global pitch. This company has a long history and trademark in manufacturing stationery goods. In 2000 after the takeover from PPF in 2000 longterm CEO and now owner Vlastislav Bříza, decided to create a holding that would follow the success in the stationery goods industry. This would functionally connect the various industries. Theoretical background is provided by global production networks, recently developed by geographers in Great Britain. From a geographical perspective, pencil manufacturing has its sources traditionally dispersed. This leads to investigating how these sources are connected and the way the production line reaches the final end product. Another noticeable phenomenon is the concentration of stationery producers in South Bohemia. This region may have valuable traditional...

Global production networks of transnational apparel corporations
Vyšatová, Martina ; Brabcová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Hána, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with multinationals corporations in the clothing industry with branch offices in the Czechia, in the context of the theory of global production network. It is a relatively new theory, which deals with geographically dispersed but functionally integrated unit of production network. NNS production network has expanded in many countries of the world and their networks differ in the number of supplier countries and the geographical distribution of production. The main objective is to highlight the connection between parent companies and their countries and supply countries as well as to the context of the price and composition of clothing. Production NNS is largely oriented to countries with cheap labour and it corresponds with the main supplying countries, namely China and Bangladesh. Composition and price of clothing are often very different, and rather than a direct connection there were only partial relations. Key words: global production networks, apparel industry, transnational corporations, Czechia
