Styková, Milota ; Macáková, Libuše (advisor) ; Džbánková, Zuzana (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of gender equality and equal opportunities on the labor market in Slovakia. The first part is theoretical an it defines basic concepts, which are necessary for understanding this issue. The theoretical basis is used for the practical part which is focused on women in managerial positions and it consists of two parts. The analysis assesses the condition in achieving gender equality in these positions in Slovakia in comparison with another EU country. The second part is the qualitative research, the interviews with the women working in managerial positions. The intention of this bachelor thesis is to map the area which is not given enough attention in Slovakia. The main objective is to assess the situation in gender equality in managerial positions in Slovakia, to find causes for the found facts and to propose solutions for improving the situation.

Who's the boss? Analysis of gender inequality in managerial positions
Svatošová, Simona ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Špecián, Petr (referee)
Using cross-sectional data from EU-SILC for the Czech Republic this thesis shows existence of gender gap in workplace authority at the Czech labor market. Controlling for human capital, job attributes and household characteristics reduced the gender gap in workplace authority but not at full range. It implies the existence of discrimination at the Czech labor market. This thesis also shows that gender differences in earnings returns to authority also exist, and men have these returns significantly higher compared to women.

The use of a business intelligence tool on an example of specific organization
Jurošová, Andrea ; Matyáš, Ondřej (advisor) ; Novotný, Ota (referee)
This Master Thesis deals with the use of modern information technologies in business man-agement, business data processing and measurement of business performance, in order to achieve better management decisions. This thesis aims to: introduce a business intelligence principle and business performance management within a certain designated area, their us-age in management systems and, last but not least, their usage in creation of modern presentation tools, dashboards. The theoretical part of this thesis is divided into three chapters. The first deals with busi-ness intelligence, which not only explains this concept and the basic principles of this tech-nology, but also the importance of quality in processing data. The next chapter describes business performance management. The subchapters provide information about the types of control systems and their performance, balanced scorecard method, and types of indicators to measure performance. The chapter dealing with management applications for decision support describes how the above-mentioned technologies and processes can be used for managerial praxes. The practical part is divided into two chapters. The first chapter provides a suggestion of indicators for measuring the selling performance of retail companies. The second part deals with a selection of indicators for a prototype of a dashboard, which is incorporated into a Competence Center of Retail Analytics.

Manažerské propočty z hlediska logiky, analytické mikroekonomie a dalších teoretických disciplin

It is no secret that 'managerial' solutions are not, on average, nearly as reliable as 'technical' solutions. The focus of this work is to clarify the reasons why this is so, and to seek ways to increase the reliability of managerial solutions. The causes of this situation are both subjective (human factor failure), which can be influenced, and objective (complexity of the problem, the specifics of human behaviour, etc.) that can be only minimally influenced. Significant subjective causes at work were identified as: a. cognitive distortions at the mental level of thinking of the problem solvers; b. deficiencies in making inference and drawing conclusions; c. incorrect argumentation. There are two ways to reduce these causes: 1. cultivation of managerial thinking of the problem solvers; 2. the use of reserves in the implementation of approaches and tools of theoretical disciplines that already operate successfully elsewhere and are beneficial for managerial solutions. The first way deals with procedures for managerial solutions formulated in the language of the relevant discipline (the language of management), expressed by natural language and the chain of formulas (calculations) and visual (graphic) tools in the form of managerial decision trees, diagrams and charts with the rules of 'managerial logic'. This is generally defined as a set of approaches, tools, methods and skills needed for credible justification when solving managerial problems. Specifically it deals with: - the 'case-based reasoning' approach, which aims at finding the best point of view on a given problem and analysing all considered aspects within its context step-by-step in detail; - translating the tools and methods of modern logic (especially its intuitionistic version) from the language of logic into the language of management taking into account the factual content of expressive means of the language of management including the ability of their effective application; - respecting the principles of rational and ethical argumentation within managerial solutions. The second way circumvents managerial solution procedures by recasting the managerial task to the task of a scientific discipline (logic, game theory, etc.) and derives the correct result therein. In this context we talk about the use of knowledge of theoretical disciplines in management. Both of these ways are demonstrated in the work in a number of illustrative examples and the annexed case studies addressing the specific tasks of managerial practice.
