Changes in translations of Maupassant's Bel-Ami in 20th century
Tomíčková, Tereza ; Belisová, Šárka (advisor) ; Šotolová, Jovanka (referee)
The present thesis analyses and compares three Czech translations of Maupassant's Bel-Ami - that of Jindřich Hořejší (1919, 1933), Břetislav Štorm (1956, 1958, 1959, 1967, 1968, 1972) and Dana Melanová (1999, 2004). The introduction looks in brief at the writer's life and work and its reception in the Czech context. It subsequently analyses the novel both in terms of its themes and language, such an analysis being a prerequisite for evaluation of the individual translation solutions. The second, core part focuses on the translations themselves. It studies their various aspects and compares the approaches and strategies adopted by the translators. Every chapter is concluded by a summary of partial findings and conclusions, from which the overall approach of all the three translators is later deduced. The comparison of the translations opens with an analysis of sentence structures, the original being very concise, making translation of the book a difficult task. The next chapter covers Maupassant's poetic imagery in the translations, attention given particularly to the clarity and accuracy of images. The next chapter addresses the dialogue - another important part of the novel. The last chapter takes a perspective on how the translators approached culture-specific references. From today's perspective, J....

Řízení IS/ICT se zaměřením na sourcing služeb informačního systému
Šebesta, Michal ; Voříšek, Jiří (advisor) ; Havlíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Příklenk, Oldřich (referee) ; Král, Jaroslav (referee)
Research on outsourcing has been around for several decades, while recent evolution in the information systems discipline towards ICT service commoditization significantly changes the context of decision-making. Services that are available on-demand via the Internet allow organizations implementing functions they demand in a fraction of time. This trend represents a chance for organizations seeking to use advanced ICT services without a need of major investments. Problem is the current lack of guidelines and tools for managing ICT services and their outsourcing. Given the trends on the ICT service market, it is expected that much of the IT management in the future will encompass the ICT services and utilize service-level structures. Methods currently available are either too broad or encompass only small part of the whole problem. Ad-hoc or unsound decisions in this area might cause major complications in terms of quality, usability, integration, and consequently influence total cost of organizational IT. Organizations need to either revise existing models or propose and implement completely new models to manage their IS/ICT. This thesis deals with the management of IS/ICT with focus on the ICT services outsourcing. It discusses available sourcing models in the literature and links them to the various interconnected areas. Based on these areas, it presents an integrated view on IT outsourcing strategies. Most importantly the thesis proposes an original concept for decision-making about outsourcing of ICT services named the SOURCER framework. This approach utilizes the presented outsourcing strategies, and introduces a complex methodology and decision-making criteria that will assist organizations with selection of ICT services in order to maintain and manage a most suitable ICT service portfolio. The decision-making is based on four essential viewpoints: function, costs, time, and quality. These viewpoints are discussed, individually analyzed, and serve as a basis for further research. The whole framework is developed and validated according to Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM). Individual components are evaluated using a survey among a group of selected IT managers. Proof of concept is then established by a case study on framework use in a real organization. This case study covers strategy specification, business--IT alignment, specifying service architecture and its interconnections, outsourcing, and management of the ICT service portfolio.

Sales strategy of a company
Ballošová, Barbora ; Sato, Alexej (advisor) ; Langpaul, Richard (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is devoted to the sales strategy of the company PRECIZ, s.r.o. in connection to the "Export Strategy of the Czech Republic for years 2012 - 2020''. In the Export Strategy sets the Ministry of Industry and Trade among others the concept of new target markets for the Czech exporters - known as the priority and interest markets. According to the analysis of the sales strategy of PRECIZ, s.r.o., a medium-sized engineering company, I would like to validate the idea that the priority markets given in the Export Strategy of the Czech Republic are not suitable for the company's intentions. Due to this fact I would like to point out the one-sidedness of the Export Strategy which supports especially the export of goods with a high value added, export of investments, know-how and services. Another target of the bachelor thesis is to make a calculation of the markets potential and to specify new potential European Union markets for the company PRECIZ, s.r.o.
