The Role of Incoterms 2020 in the Current Practice of Czech Export Companies
BERKOVÁ, Vanessa
The diploma thesis deals with the set of international rules Incoterms 2020, which are the most used business practices in international trade regulating the rights and obligations of sellers and buyers. The main aim of the work is to evaluate their use and implementation in the current practice of Czech export companies from the engineering industry. The specific goal is to find out whether Czech export companies use Incoterms delivery clauses and what specific clauses they apply in international trade. An equally important goal is the identification of problematic points that clauses bring. The theoretical part describes international trade, trade policy instruments, risks, transport and insurance in international trade, export and mainly Incoterms. The practical part consists of a description of the Czech engineering industry and an evaluation of the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire consisted of 19 questions, and it was completed by 265 respondents out of a total of 2 200 addressed companies. The questionnaire was distributed to the representatives of selected companies through e-mail communication. The result of processing the questionnaire survey was the interpretation of individual questions and their mutual comparison. Then the established hypotheses were evaluated. The research results indicate that Incoterms are widespread and important in the practice of Czech export companies focusing on engineering. The most used delivery clause is EXW (Ex Works). However, to achieve effective use of Incoterms, it is important to ensure the correct interpretation of delivery clauses, their application and clear communication between business partners.

Kapoun, M. Intensity of trade in engineering products within the EU. Bachelor the-sis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2023. The bachelor thesis deals with the measurement of international trade intensity and comparative advantage in international flows of engineering products. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the development of theories of interna-tional trade, evaluation of the development of trade in engineering products on the European market in the last 10 years and analysis of suitable indices for measuring the intensity of international trade and comparative advantage. The theoretical part concludes with a chapter on the findings of research already car-ried out by other authors. In the practical part, the G-L and NRCA indices are se-lected on the basis of the findings of the previous section and are measured with them on data from 2012, 2017 and 2022. The practical part is followed by a dis-cussion where the results are compared with those of the authors mentioned in the theoretical part of the paper.

Vliv certifikace normy ISO 9001 na zvýšení výkonnosti podniku
Novotná, Petra
Novotná, P. Influence of ISO 9001 certification on the company performance. Thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2018. Thesis deals with the influence evaluation of the quality system implementation on increasing company efficiency. It focuses on the analysis of its current state, management of the quality system and its administration. Aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the impact of ISO 9001 quality certification on the company financial and non-financial performance and identification of areas and indicators in which certification impacts are most expressed. For the solution was used an analysis of internal environment according to the 7S method, company self-assessment according to ISO 9004 and the methodology based on the principles of the EFQM model. Main finding is the underestimated impact of quality system implementation on company performance due to non-compliance with all requirements and principles of interconnected standard. Companies meet requirements of the standard primarily for purpose of meeting conditions for recertification audits and for entering into a business agreement with customers.
