Differences in the resolution of sea territories conflicts in areas with energy resources
Bančanský, Andrej ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Parízek, Michal (referee)
Energy security is an important phenomenon of the contemporary world. A significant number of oil and gas reserves are located on the seabed. Expansion of oil and gas drilling to deeper and from shore more remote locations can again raise the question of ownership of these deposits. On one hand, there are regions of the world where these disputes over borders of maritime territories escalate into a series of clashes and incidents. On the other hand, there are other areas where states can settle their disputes and cooperate on drilling. The goal of this study is to determine which factors lead to the fact that particularly in the South China Sea disagreement about the boundaries of maritime territories results in the escalation of disputes in comparison with the regions of the North Sea and the Caribbean Sea, where disputes are solved or minimized. These factors are represented by six variables, which are based on three theories: a realist, idealist and constructivist theory of international relations. The first part of this study describes the historical development of current international maritime law with regard to the territorial division of the world's oceans. It is followed by a description of three case areas. The second part deals with the theoretical foundations of the examined factors. In...

The Visegrad Group as a Tool of Stimulating Interests in the Field of Natural Gas - Ilustrated on the Czech republic and the Republic of Poland
Štolba, Ondřej ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence that the Ukrainian crises in 2006 and 2009 had on the use of the Visegrad Group as a tool for promoting the interests in the sphere of natural gas. This research is based on institutional theory that provides an explanation of the importance of regional cooperation. The impact of both crises on cooperation is then presented on two Member States - the Czech republic and Poland, which provides a framework for an overall assessment. The upholding of interests in the gas area during the years is reflected in the strengthening of the Visegrad Group. The work follows the development of the pre-crisis period to the Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group in 2012. Thus, it observes the initial efforts to coordinate gas politics, the influence of the European Union on the development of gas agenda within the Visegrad Group and its contribution to the energy security of monitored countries. The thesis evaluates the dynamic development of the Visegrad Group and individual results in reducing dependence on Russian gas. Moreover, there are also noted the remaining limits in the functioning of this group which may block the enforcement of national and Central European interests.

INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF MANAGERIAL NEW VALUES AND STANDARDS
Smetánka, David ; Hrčková, Eva (advisor) ; Dědina, Jiří (referee) ; Chadt, Karel (referee)
V literárním rozboru je kladen důraz především na vliv nových hodnot a zásad v koncernu Volkswagen na jednání manažerů ve Škoda Auto. V teoretické části se autor opírá o přístupy institucionální a organizačně-kulturní a přístupy ke stylu řízení. Dále je proveden výzkum pro ověření teorie, potvrzení či vyvrácení hypotéz a zodpovězení otázek, které s tímto tématem souvisejí. Experimentální část se nejprve zabývá popisem metody zkoumání a způsobem šetření ve Škoda Auto. Rovněž jsou detailněji popsány postupy implementace KLL do praxe manažerů a blíže vysvětleny body KLL. Zpracovaný výzkum a jeho výsledky jsou prezentovány v navazujících kapitolách. Autor si dovoluje vyzdvihnout pozitiva realizačního procesu KLL v praxi a rovněž upozornit na jeho nedostatky. Přístup manažerů k tomuto procesu je klíčovou otázkou celé práce. Jejich subjektivní hodnocení jednotlivých požadavků se odráží na míře a ochotě tyto požadavky uplatňovat ve svém jednání či je dále šířit. Na závěr je navržena metoda pro úspěšné zavádění podobných změn ve velkých podnicích, jakým Škoda Auto je. Jsou uvedeny předpoklady pro úspěšné zahájení realizace změny kultury a sladění cílů a v neposlední řadě i úskalí a rizika, která mohou podobné záměry zmrazit. Další navazující kroky, které je třeba činit po skončení realizační fáze procesu, jsou uvedeny v závěru práce.
