1962: The world on the brink of disaster
Hejnová, Tereza ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
Bachelor thesis "1962: The world on the brink of disaster" discusses several days at the end of October 1962 - the Caribbean crisis. Caribbean crisis has become one of the worst crises of the Cold War and during the crisis world was really on the verge of outbreak of nuclear war. The work focuses on addressing this crisis, from the American side. U.S. representatives were at this time dilemma - how to achieve that the missiles were withdrawn from Cuba while also maintaining peace? They had many options. And about how these options they are interested. I'm trying to break down the process of thinking, consider how risk what options were and what conclusions they reached. Why they chose a blockade of the island? What were other suggestions? These are questions with which they deal, and we're trying to find an answer. The possibilities were many and included a direct military attack on the island. The blockade of the island, however, represents the least risk of conflict with the Soviet Union.

Analysis of financial centres' position changes in the hierarchy of the European financial centres between 2005-2012
Hejnová, Tereza ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Rada, Hynek (referee)
This master thesis investigates recent dynamics of the European financial centres' hierarchy. In particular, the changes in this hierarchy during the financial crisis have been scrutinized. The first, the second and the third-tier European financial centres have been identified on the basis of total assets of banks localised in a given financial centre. The major impact of the global financial crisis has been a further accumulation within the banking sector (measured in terms of total assets), as the two biggest European financial centres increased their position significantly during the financial crisis. The analysis of pre-tax profits indicator showed that the second-tier financial centres have been hit hardest during the crisis. The results of analysis of evolution of employment in the financial sector provided the evidence that the change in the levels of employment follows the changes in banks' profits with a certain delay. However, despite the severity of the 2007-2010 financial crisis the changes of employment were relatively modest compared to changes in banks' profits. Our analyses also showed that there is no statistically significant relationship between the change of the banks' profits and the change of GDP of a region, in which the respective financial centre is localised. Following...

The impacts of the global financial crisis on the banking centres of Europe according to the main European macro-regions
Hejnová, Tereza ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Ježek, Jiří (referee) ; Buček, Ján (referee)
The current era of intensive globalisation, digitisation and expansion of FinTech companies and latter the impacts of a recent global financial crisis support further concentration processes within the banking sector. This dissertation thesis explores the impacts of global financial crisis on the European banking centres on the level of major banking centres and tiny banking centres with special regard on the development in three main European macroregions - Western Europe, Southern Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. The banking centres were analysed according financial indicators of banks headquartered in particular banking centre in the indicators capturing size, profitability and the level of risk during the period 2004-2015. Counterintuitively, the European leading banking centres (London, Paris and Frankfurt), despite their extensive exposure to capital markets, dispay a high level of resilience, which contrasts with the evolution of the other major Western European centres, which clearly lagged behind the European leaders. From a macro-regional perspective, banking centres in Western Europe exhibited the first signals of both the crisis and the recovery, which were subsequently diffused across Europe. Surprisingly, the profitability of low-ranking banking centres in Central and Eastern...

Czechoslovak Airlines in the second half of the 20th century
Hejnová, Tereza ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Štemberk, Jan (referee)
(in English): This paper is devoted to the historical development of the carrier Czechoslovak Airlines (Československé aerolinie). It analyzes the establishment of new flight routes under the influence of the global political constellation at the time. The growth of such a company crucially relies on the ownership of adequate aviation technology - an issue which is also being addressed in this paper. The need for better aviation technology, in particular aircraft as such, brings into stark relief the larger issue of the bipolar division of the world during that period. Sources drawn upon by the author of this paper primarily include material in the ČSA record group of the State Regional Archive in Prague.

Analysis of clusters in Czechia
Hejnová, Tereza ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Meislová, Kristýna (referee)
Clusters are new phenomenon in Czechia that became well-known recently as clusters have started to be supported by the EU Structural funds. The aim of this thesis are two- fold. First, to provide an up-to-date list of active clusters in Czechia and their members. An indicative typology of cluster members have been prepared (e.g. firm, research institution, intermediary organization etc.) and their location has been analyzed. Second, the location of members of individual clusters has been confronted with data on employment structure on the level of districts of municipalities with extended competences. This comparison allowed for answering the research question to what extend is the location of cluster members in line with employment structure of particular districts. The analysis proved, that there is statistical representative relationship between employment in the relevant industry sector and the spatial distribution of cluster members especially in those industry sectors, which are concentrated in large cities. This relationship becomes weaker with growing spatial dispersion of employment in the industry sector. Altogether, 40 active clusters have been analysed comprising more than thousand members. Keywords: clusters, competitiveness, enterprises, cooperation, innovation, Czechia
