The Labour Market in Traditional and Light Industry in Pre-modern and Modern Japan
Klička, Petr ; Labus, David (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
In this thesis I focus on the Japanese labour market in agriculture, traditional, semi-traditional and modern light industry between the 1730s and 1950s. In the first chapter I introduce institutional theory and path dependance theory which serve as my conceptual frame. In the second chapter I present a broad definition of the modern period based on Kito's demographical periodization of Japanese history. In the third and fourth chapter I analyze the institutional structure of agriculture and by-employments that dominated the modern labour market. In conclusion I discuss the connection of this structure to heavy industry and its implications for the current dual labour market.

Specific factors of Japanese management
Machalová, Lucia ; Sýkora, Jan (advisor) ; Labus, David (referee)
(in English): The aim of this thesis is to find, whether the Japanese management techniques are based on unique characteristics of Japanese ethnicity and the organization of their society, or based on general principles of management theory applied to concrete Japanese conditions. Methodologically it will be based on approach of social anthropology (Nakane, Doi) concentrating on the relationship between an individual and the group, national homogenity, hierarchy, and roles of institutions. The author will first describe nihonjinron theory and its main arguments, concentrating on the factors relating with specific Japanese management methods, especially in human resources management and quality management. Afterwards she will analyse in detail management methods with emphasis on the development in 1990s. Finally, based on concrete examples she will evaluate, if -and if yes, to what extent - are Japanese management methods transferable to different environment, and will try to assess the future development of these methods in globalized society. During evaluations she will be using data of Japanese companies operating abroad.

The specifics of Japanese management on the example of Mitsubishi Electric Automotive Czech, s.
Nováková, Anna ; Tureckiová, Michaela (advisor) ; Reichel, Jiří (referee)
In this thesis certain elements of the Japanese management model are examined in the context of Euro-Atlantic management model. As a single integral model of Japanese management does not exist, firstly, two groups of selected elements of Japanese management are explained in the theoretical part. The aim of this thesis is to analyze whether selected approaches of Japanese management have been applied at Mitsubishi Electric Automotive Czech s. r. o., and or how they have been modified in the Czech Republic. The first group of selected elements includes approaches in which active employees allow the organization to achieve high quality products and services - the strategy of kaizen, the activities of quality control circles and total quality management. Japanese management features that are included in the second group lead to the organization cost minimization. Particularly, this paper describes the just-in-time production, total productive maintenance concept, the technique of 5S, the technique of systematic elimination of wasting and the phenomenon of employee loyalty. Having realized a qualitative survey with seven respondents, the analysis showed that the chosen approaches in the organization have been applied, except for the quality control circles. The kaizen strategy has been narrowed down...

Trends in the japanese labor market
Beranová, Aneta ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Japanese system of employment enjoyed great popularity during the economic boom of Japan. Traditional principles of lifetime employment and seniority-based system have been widely used in most large companies. However, japanese labor market did not manage to adapt to changes at a global level in time and traditional principles of employment stopped working effectively. The aim of the thesis is to describe, analyze and evaluate the current situation in the Japanese labor market and outline possible future development. The key points are selected problems in the labor market, which Japan must face, especially the dualism in the labor market, the aging population and the status of women in the labor market. The partial objective will also be to assess the impact of labor market problems for the whole Japanese economy.

Problémy aplikace japonského managementu v ČR
Jankotová, Petra ; Dvořák, Jiří (advisor) ; Štrach, Pavel (referee)
This graduation thesis' aim is to help reader realize and understand what makes Japanese companies, especially Japanese management style, so successful and competitive and what problems (challenges) may occur while applying the Japanese managerial techniques in the Czech Republic. Companies teaching and implementing Japanese managerial style were found and evaluated. While giving background information on Japanese economy and manners, basic description of chosen Japanese managerial techniques as well as examples of their usage in companies, the main idea is to find out what the prerequisites of successful implementation of Japanese managerial techniques are, how techniques can be implemented and consecutively describe possible obstacles at the application of the Japanese management in the companies outside Japan. The reason for looking for the prerequisites of successful implementation is the thought that not only managerial techniques themselves (their "technical side") are the key for success. It is also, and very importantly, the way how they are used. It is knowledge what "forces" are driving the success of the techniques. Therefore, in order to understand what the Japanese managerial techniques are and who the people developing and using them are about, I step by step gathered related information and in a summarized form wrote them in this thesis. Analyzing the information I was able to conclude that there are three prerequisites for successful implementation of Japanese managerial techniques. It is firstly a technical side of managerial techniques itself, secondly it is a psychological aspect (learning Japanese management also means learning pieces of Japanese culture and manners and only if that culture is understood and applied, techniques can show they full potential) and thirdly it is hard working.

Possibilities of the usage of the Japanese System and Style to the Czech Management Reality
Jaroš, Jakub ; Dědina, Jiří (advisor) ; Cejthamr, Václav (referee)
Japanese culture differs enormously from its European counterpart. When a Japanese subsidiary is established in the Czech Republic, there are many issues to resolve. Communication is a significant assumption to success. In addition, Czech managers consider communication with the Japanese as an inherent weakness to corporate culture. This dissertation supports and demonstrates that sustainable operating effectiveness and competitiveness deploying Japanese management practice within Czech companies is feasible.
