Management and leadership of the selected football clubs and specific features of their functioning
Podzimek, David ; Chylíková, Hana (advisor) ; Freisler, Tomáš (referee)
The recent departure of Czech football clubs participating in the top two competitions for the newly created League of Football Association (LFA) has given rise to a number of questions. This step is generally considered to be a significant step towards emphasising the differences between the professional and amateur areas of football in our country. The goal of this dissertation was to demonstrate the differences and the similar features in the management and leadership of this type of sports organisation on the basis of practical research undertaken in two selected clubs. FC Jablonec nad Nisou from the first division served as an example of the professional sphere, while FC Loko Vltavín was selected as a representative of the amateur game. The findings were then used to compare these two kinds of clubs in relation to various aspects of their complex functioning. General principles and specific features have been drawn from this for both qualitative levels. The results have particularly demonstrated the significant influence of club economics and the competitive environment, which mutually influence and to a certain degree determine the level of all other areas which the people from the club management are involved in.

Stojanovová, Veronika ; Fulková, Marie (advisor) ; Sedlák, Michal (referee)
The present diploma thesis maps the concepts, characteristic features and cultural-social contexts of functions of the "Do It Yourself" phenomenon. It addresses various interpretations of the phenomenon, it creates general features, and it attempts to define its position based on the experience gained from the research carried out and from the literature studied. It primarily captures the action of the phenomenon during the communist and post-communist era in the Czechoslovak and later the Czech Republic, as well as the influence of various socio-political systems on its appearance. Didactic elaboration of the topic focuses on the application of the DIY principles in teaching activity and it presents an "In & Out" artwork line integrating these ideas into the current conditions of teaching art education. The artwork part represents starting points, the process and the realization of the author's binding of the diploma thesis, which is again based on the application of DIY ideas.
