The stratiec approach of luxury fashion brands to counterfeit goods
Kubů, Karolína ; Hejlová, Denisa (advisor) ; Koudelková, Petra (referee)
This thesis examines the strategic approach of luxury fashion brands to counterfeits. The democratization of luxury fashion, the acceleration of the fashion calendar, the boom in online shopping, and last but not least the coronavirus pandemic have led to the normalization of the ownership and promotion of counterfeits. The trade in counterfeits poses a long-term risk to the economy and society. The counterfeit business can finance organised crime and its production is harmful to the planet and to workers in the supply chain. The aim of this paper is to find out how brands are dealing with this situation - what tools and strategies they are using to combat counterfeits. The theoretical introduction of the thesis explains the concept of luxury, describes the different forms of counterfeiting from a legal point of view, presents the negative and positive effects of counterfeiting, as well as recommendations on how to combat it. A qualitative method was chosen for the research, which allows to look at the topics in depth and also to explore how the topics are approached. With the help of critical discourse analysis, an answer to the question is sought: What is the current strategic approach of luxury fashion brands towards counterfeit goods? Key themes that are most frequently mentioned by the media...

Fighting disinformation in the Czech Republic and Germany.
Čevela, Tomáš ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Lizcová, Zuzana (referee)
The presented work deals with the struggle of the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany with disinformation. It arises against the background of a conventional war conflict, the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. At the same time, the Russian Federation is using the information space to expand its influence in Europe as part of the hybrid war. The work compares the means and procedure of both states in combating disinformation, specifically compares the legislative framework of both states, their institutions and their international cooperation. The work came to the conclusion that in many aspects the Czech Republic lags behind Germany. Although both states have a similar approach in establishing or empowering state institutions to combat disinformation and in international cooperation. However, unlike Germany, the Czech Republic does not yet have effective legislation to combat disinformation and does not invest funds in civic education and research projects.

Local Brands Communication during the Third Republic - Case Study of Three Selected Destilleries
Rieger, Matyáš ; Halada, Jan (advisor) ; Koudelková, Petra (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to explore the so far only marginally described era of marketing and to provide an answer to the question if the fear of the new class division was manifested in communication towards the customer. I start from the premise that the era and the owners' perspective are always reflected in the communication of firms and the different aspects of marketing. The research will also include an examination of the purely practical process of designing marketing materials and selecting communication channels that differ significantly from those we know today.

The Changes of Church Communication in the Third Millennium: The Reform of Vatican Media and its Impacts in the Period of the Credibility Crisis
Zavadilová, Tereza ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Kočí, Martin (referee) ; Franc, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis explores a specific part of the contemporary Church communication area: the Vatican media reform that started in 2015, two years after the appointment of Pope Francis, as a part of the gradual reform of the whole Roman Curia. The aim of this still unfinished media reform is to make Vatican media (radio, TV, press office, news website Vatican News etc.) more technologically and financially effective, to share the message of Pope Francis through the most modern communication channels, to employ more laymen instead of clerics (in 2018 prefect Paolo Ruffini became the first layperson who ever led the Vatican dicastery), and to give voice to the local Church in the world. The many shifts included media unification, convergence, digitization, employing social media and a more reciprocal relationship with the public. Nevertheless, the secondary aim of the reform was to transform Vatican media into more transparent, trustworthy, and reliable source of information about the Church and the faith - especially in this era of a "credibility crisis" caused by the abuse of authority, power, conscience and sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults. The thesis proves that the reform has, apart from the obvious technological money-sparing face, also a content face - e.g., the aim to restore its...

NATO and the EU's strategic communication's cohesion from the perspective of the ritual model
Dušková, Lenka ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
At the core of this master thesis lies the cohesion of NATO and the EU's strategic communication. The cohesion is researched in the context of both institutions' reactions to hybrid threats from quantitative and qualitative points of view. The thesis observes communication's cohesion within the realm of NATO and the EU's responses to the annexation of Crimea and subsequent war in Ukraine, the Skripals' poisoning, and the instrumentalization of migration by the Belarusian regime. What precedes the empirical part is a summary of current academic debates about the concept of strategic communication and also the description of NATO and the EU's communication systems. The analysis then builds on the extensive dataset of NATO and the EU's event-related messages. The intrainstitutional and interinstitutional cohesion is assessed based on the frequencies and timing of the messages in the above- mentioned cases. The subsequent qualitative analysis draws on Carey's proposed ritual view of communication. It further analyzes whether the content of NATO and the EU's strategic communication reflects their core values, threat perception, narratives about expected appropriate behavior, visioning, and whether it refers to the common historical experience, stimulates a shared view of reality, and explicitly...

Propaganda as a form of communication strategy: cinematography in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Gerstnerová, Dominika ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
During the 20th century, film became a social phenomenon. Because of this reason it did not take long and also politicians started to use the film industry to influence public opinion. Above all, the history of totalitarian regimes proves that films have served them as a very powerful tool for fulfilling their propaganda goals. This diploma thesis deals with Nazi film propaganda during the Second World War, specifically the influence of Nazi propaganda on Czech feature film in the occupied Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Because of the fact that Nazi ideology was based on tense nationalism and racial purity which required a broad base for its support and maintenance of power, propaganda was of great importance The aim of this work is thus to find and define Nazi propaganda communication goals in Czech feature film and to identify specific tactics through which these goals should be fulfilled. The basis for researching this issue are the films Kristián (1939), Tulák Macoun (1939), Pro kamaráda (1940), Těžký život dobrodruha (1941), Jan Cimbura (1941) and Prstýnek (1944), which cover various genres and topics and at the same time cover different protectorate periods. The topic of propaganda is viewed in the context of strategic communication as related and in today's scale also superior...
