Current feminist discussions: transgender phenomenon in the context of the writing of Judith Butler
Šaldová, Kateřina ; Vodochodský, Ivan (advisor) ; Hájek, Martin (referee)
The title of this paper is: Current feminist discussions: transgender phenomenon in the context of the writing of Judith Butler. The author of the paper concentrates on a discussion of selected terms from Butlerian terminology - such as subversion and agency in the context of the lived experience and agency of transgenders. In a broader context, feminist theories are taken into account in respect to these terms as well. Can transgender perspectives be used as a useful and inspirational contribution? Can agency of transgenders challenge feminist thought in any sense? What is the role of Butler's thought in relation to effective feminist action? Having introduced the theoretical framings and critical discussion of important terms of Butler's theory in the first chapter, the author continues in discussing the strategy of subversion in the context of transgenderism in the second chapter. Both discussions are brought together in the third part of the paper, focusing on a qualitative research completed in Prague in 2003. The author concludes that certain challenges and inspirations arise when studying the transgender phenomenon and that the theory of Judith Butler can be used as an effective (feminist) tool. However, there should be a closer cooperation between feminist and transgender community in order to...

Everyday police: Norms in the turmoil of police practice
Tošovský, Michal ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Kabele, Jiří (referee)
Everyday police: norms in the turmoil o f police practice Based on the interviews with police officers from the local police stations of one of the Czech police's districts the author discusses their ability to handle their everyday practice. It is viewed under two sets of effects. The first set consists of three levels of written legal obligations - the constitutional laws defining the basic values of social structure and state system, laws which govern police functions and objectives and internal norms of the police organization specifying their operation. The use of legal norms is penetrated by five sociological dimensions - the ethical and moral values expressed within the written norms (how the police mean their practice); the exact terms of the written norms (how the police should do their practice); the police officers' performance requirements (how the police must do it); the police officers' experience based best practice (how the police would like to do it) and the ability to meet all those requirements (how the police really do it). After framing the analysis, the current knowledge about police is discussed. In the foreign literature we can find two basic fashions of the police performance. The first one sees police practice as reactive, based on crime control and crime-fighting police...

Use of social network analysis in analyzing social environment of a project manager
Hájek, Martin ; Chocholatý, Drahomír (advisor) ; Hřebíček, Vladimír (referee)
Diploma thesis deals with the social environment of a project manager and describes different approaches in its analysis. The social environment is defined as a sum of soft factors that affect a project manager and influence the course of the project. Besides proficiency in various project management methodologies, knowledge of the project plan, and understanding of the client's field of business, awareness of the social environment is essential for eventual project success. Thesis objectives aim at defining the scope of the social environment, and presenting analysis techniques and methods, through which it is possible to enhance overall project performance. Other objectives include stating recommendations for project managers to fully comprehend their social environment, and documenting discussed findings on project related case studies -- among others also on the social networks analysis conducted in a real life project environment. The thesis describes three analysis methods -- social network analysis, stakeholder analysis, and analysis of psychological profile of the team members, which mutually complement each other and provide project managers with a comprehensive overview of their social environments. Social network analysis is elaborated on the most in detail, because it forms theoretical as well as practical introduction to the topic, and a base for further analyses.

Hájek, Martin ; Horný, Stanislav (advisor) ; Basl, Josef (referee) ; Prof. Ing. Josef Basl, CSc., (referee)
Bakalářská práce staví na tématu informačního managementu na praktické úrovni tak, jak k němu může přistupovat vedení organizace a jak ve svém důsledku prostupuje každodenní práci ostatních zaměstnanců. Cílem práce je zabývat se v širších manažerských souvislostech tématem změny ve způsobu jakým organizace pracuje s informacemi za účelem zvýšení své, nejen ekonomické, výkonnosti. Teoretický rámec tématu je napříč textem doplňován jednak výsledky šetření, které autor práce realizoval mezi vybranými organizacemi působícími na českém trhu, a jednak zhodnocením několikaměsíčního průzkumu provedeného v mezinárodní neziskové organizaci. V době psaní bakalářské práce v dané organizaci projekt tohoto typu vrcholil a téma je tak uvedeno do kontextu reálných souvislostí se všemi nástrahami, jež na vedení každé organizace čekají.

ERP Systems For the Tertiary Sector of Economy - PSA
Hájek, Martin ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Benešovský, Martin (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to introduce philosophy of PSA (Professional Services Automation) solutions, their benefits, structure and possible future and to describe, why and how were PSA systems developed. Inasmuch as PSA systems originally evolved from ERP systems and their current progress is very similar to the late progress of ERPs, I decided to focus my analyses on ERP systems and to use the relevant conclusions on PSA solutions. The opening chapter of the thesis (chapter 3) introduces and describes philosophy and history of ERP systems, chapter 4 then describes PSA solutions. The fifth part is addressed to the current ERP market, from which a picture of future PSA market can be derived. Practical part 6, which I consider as the primary contribution of this thesis, analyzes some dimensions of PSA in the light of future evolution of this kind of solution. It also defines some factors, that may help to increase positive effects of PSA solutions to service-oriented companies. The thesis is then closed with an example of a real PSA implementation on an engineering company (chapter 7).
