MARKETING INFORMATIVE SYSTEM AND RESSEARCH OF SELECTED COMPANY
MAŠKOVÁ, Irena
The topic of the Bachelor Dissertation is: Marketing Information System (MIS) and research at a selected enterprise. I did my Bachelor Dissertation at Lázně Aurora, s.r.o. in Třeboň. The objective of the Dissertation was to review the current MIS at Lázně Aurora, conduct a marketing survey in accordance with the company{\crq}s guidelines and, based on the obtained information, assess the status quo and propose a solution. After analysing Lázně Aurora{\crq}s existing MIS, I came to the conclusion that the Internal Information System which Lázně Aurora has in place, is of a high standard. The company also has a good quality Reporting Information System, although it has some scope for improvement. I see some shortcomings in Lázně Aurora{\crq}s Marketing Survey System, as the company focuses in its surveys on existing or past clientele only. This means that the company conducts only part of a comprehensive marketing survey, which is more a sales support or client retention attempts. At present, Lázně Aurora misses a marketing system to support decision making. As the cause of the MIS shortcomings I see the fact that at present demand exceeds supply, and therefore Aurora does not see the need to make full use of the MIS. I conducted the marketing survey according to Lázně Aurora{\crq}s guidelines. The survey concerned identifying and comparing prices of selected relaxation programmes in competitive facilities. The survey results show that in the monitored competitive products, Aurora in 2006 maintained a medium price level position. In my opinion Lázně Aurora could afford to increase their prices, but only under the condition that they make the right use of their opportunities and at the same time do not underestimate the spa industry market threats. In order to minimise these threats, it would be advisable to conduct a series of further marketing surveys, focusing mainly on the needs and wishes of not only existing, but also prospective guests. I believe that in the future, collecting information from quality marketing surveys and correctly functioning MIS will be for Aurora essential for maintaining their competitiveness on the spa industry market.

Marketing information system project in the respective company
MAŠKOVÁ, Irena
The topic of the final-year dissertation is: Marketing information system (MIS) project in the respective company. I did my final-year dissertation at Lázně Aurora, s.r.o. in Třeboň.The objective of the dissertation was to analyse situation of the current MIS at Lázně Aurora and to compare it with the situation characterised in the bachelor{\crq}s degree dissertation. Marketing researches would follow. After analysing Lázně Aurora{\crq}s existing MIS, I came to the conclusion that the Internal Information System which Lázně Aurora has in place, is of a high standard. The company also has a good quality Reporting Information System. I see some shortcomings in Lázně Aurora{\crq}s Marketing Survey System, as the company focuses in its surveys on existing or past clientele only. This means that the company conducts only part of a comprehensive marketing survey, which is more a sales support or client retention attempts. At present, Lázně Aurora misses a marketing system to support decision making. As the cause of the MIS shortcomings I see the fact that at present demand exceeds supply, and therefore Aurora does not see the need to make full use of the MIS. I performed two marketing researches. In the first questionnaire survey I made use of the existing questionnaire of Lázně Aurora and applied it according to the Aurora{\crq}s management instructions only to the current clientele. On the basis of the shortcomings identified in the marketing research system of Lázně Aurora I proposed (as a part of the main goal of the final-year dissertation) a variant of the questionnaire survey, which is more correct from the marketing point of view. I have completely worked out a new marketing research on the basis of the questionnaire elaborated by me and applied it to the sample of randomly selected respondents from the wide public. The results generated from both questionnaire surveys were positive for Aurora, but nevertheless it would be advisable to conduct a series of further marketing surveys, focusing mainly on the needs and wishes of not only existing, but also prospective guests. I believe that in the future, collecting information from quality marketing surveys and correctly functioning MIS will be for Aurora essential for maintaining their competitiveness on the spa industry market.
