Startups in Czechia: Stages of Development, Financing and Spatial Behavior
Roháč, Jan ; Žížalová, Pavla (advisor) ; Mareš, Jakub (referee)
Startups is the phenomenon that has been entering into the public awareness. However the increasing popularity of startups is not reflected by academics, whose interest in this topic is still limited. Universally valid definition of startup is missing. There is small number of research projects studying development and growth of startups. We know a little about the individuals that stay behind these entrepreneurial acts. Startups can in fact contribute to economic development of regions considerably. This applies doubly for the startups operating in knowledge-intensive economic sectors as information technology (IT), which is characterized by the highest performance in terms of founding rates of startups. Setting of systematic and effective regional policy instruments for startups support is, however, dependent on their detailed understanding. The ambition of diploma thesis is contribute to this understanding and at least assist in the creation of regional-development policy of startups support. The aim of this work is to find and describe behavior patterns of Czech IT and internet startups during their growth from the perspective of developmental process, financing and spatial organization. Development of startups within the discussed fields of research is examined through four stages of development....

Different strategies of brownfields regeneration: case studies of Karolina and Michal mine in Ostrava
Roháč, Jan ; Temelová, Jana (advisor) ; Ilík, Jan (referee)
Comparison of different use of two industrial brownfields situated in Ostrava, Karolina and Důl Michal mine, and especially identification of factors of this differentiation, are the subjects of my work. Karolina represents a former industrial complex, where industrial manufacturing was finished in 1980s. The area was demolished and cleaned in following years. Karolina disposes of great development potential thanks to its size (60 hectares) and exclusive location (proximity of the city). At present building of commercially-administrative center takes place there. In Důl Michal mine industrial production was finished in 1993. Unlike Karolina, minimal size (4,5 hectares) and peripheral location limit investment intentions. On the other hand, extraordinary culturally- historical value of Důl Michal mine, which is declared with national cultural heritage status, is higher than in case of Karolina. At present there is a technical museum in Důl Michal mine. In my opinion the different use of Karolina and Důl Michal mine is the result of entirely different character of these objects, which is manifested in different cultural value, location, size and evolution. During making this work, I was utilizing following methods - literature search, study of documents and other sources, method of controlled interview...
