Multiple-criteria Decision Making and Data Envelopment Analysis
BRABCOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis explores methods of multiple-criteria decision making in connection with data envelopment analysis. A model task is to compare all the countries of the European Union according to the growth of their small and medium-sized enterprises. The differences and similarities of the chosen approaches are shown on the selected data. The results include the ranking of countries based on efficiency according to the CCR model and a comparison of the results from data envelopment analysis and the described multi-criteria methods using Spearman coefficients. As the results of the multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives depend strongly on the weights, their stability for the weighted sum approach and PROMETHEE was therefore examined.

Methods of Multiple-Criteria Decision Making
BRABCOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis explores methods of multiple-criteria decision making and their application on data gathered from yearbooks published by Czech Statistical Office and from my own survey based on a questionnaire. The main aim is to describe different methods of multiple-criteria decision analysis, demonstrate their applications, and illustrate the benefits and drawbacks on a specific case. The task is to compare quality of life in all districts of South Bohemia and compile their ranking. The alternatives examined are the counties of České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek, Prachatice, Strakonice, and Tábor. The selected decision criteria used in this evaluation consist of the price of apartments, rate of unemployment, quality of health care, average wage, criminality and rate of environmental pollution. The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis depicts diverse methods of decision-making and their basic advantages and disadvantages. Examples of these techniques are methods based on aspiration levels, such as PRIAM, methods based on ordinal scales, ORESTE, and finally methods based on cardinal scale, such as Weighted Sum Approach, Analytic Hierarchy Process, TOPSIS, AGREPREF, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE and MAPPAC. The practical part describes the actual application of the methods on the selected case and final results of this work. The outcome includes rates of importance for each criterion and county rankings from best to worst based on the methods mentioned above.

Options to expand production on small family farms
Brabcová, Michaela ; Malý, Michal (advisor) ; Kateřina, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the financial analysis of "Bláhův dvůr". It is a small starting young farm in the Central Bohemian Region. In the first part, I analyzed the financial analysis using financial ratios such as rate of return, liquidity, asset and debt. To determine whether a company is a profitable one, I have made the financial analysis using status indicators which are following: Altman's Z score, indices of credibility, Taffler's z-score and Quick test by Kralicek. At the end of this analysis the Cash flow is provided. The next part of my diploma thesis deals with the evaluation of the current market position of the farm using the external economic indicators such as the analysis PEST and Porter´s five forces model. After completing all the above mentioned analyses, all risks and divergences in agricultural commodities were evaluated through price trends. Using all the information, economically recoverable and revenue possibilities for future development were suggested. The main purpose of this thesis is the SWOT analysis, where I have mentioned weaknesses and threats, which will be eliminated and minimalized through business opportunities and business strengths.

Partial goal 2 was to learn about the factors that helped the women to choose contraception. Partial goal 3 was to find out if the women detected any changes. Partial goal 4 was to find out if the users of hormonal contraception also use different kinds of contraception. Partial goal 5 was to discover if the women smokers know about the danger of thrombosis that is connected with smoking while using hormonal contraception, and if they use this method. The questions were set on the basis of the aims.
