System Management Model of a Professional Service Firm
Hubík, Tomáš ; Křivánek, Mirko (advisor) ; Majerech, Vladan (referee)
In the presented work I devote to creating a computer model of a professional service firm using the theory of business modeling. The whole model was programmed using the application Vensim. Another part of this work was to use this model to answer some key questions about the professional service firms. I dealt with the issue of optimal volume and optimal size of potential orders. I have also studied the influence of marketing and employee productivity on business performance. Another part of the work was to find patterns in employees career growth and to monitor sales and quality of projects delivery. I also determined the size and characteristics of critical mass. Such a model could then be used to better understand patterns of companies in the professional services industry and we can use it to manage the company more effectively in this environment.

Models Supporting Decision Making of a Tourism Destination Management
BRAGUCA, Andrej
The topic of the diploma thesis is the models for decision support of the management of tourism destination. This is an important topic in tourism all over the world, as tourism destination management is a complex, multidisciplinary and often inflated question. The complexity of the structure and the number of stakeholders is also the reason for being important in today's modern times. Because of the complexity of the whole topic, it is often difficult to grasp the theme as a whole and to consistently explain all the existing variables. At the same time, a number of inaccuracies and errors are generated in connection with the management of the tourist destination. The work uncovers the basic structure of relationships in the destination of tourism and attempts to outline the functioning of the tourism destination management as a whole. The benefit of the thesis is to update the model created by Ing. Petrem Štumpfem Ph.D. in his dissertation work. Another benefit of this work is the generation of scenarios of the likely and anticipated development of the tourist destination of Southern Bohemia.

Application of system dynamics in project management
Baláž, Ján ; Křivánek, Mirko (advisor) ; Babka, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with possibilities of an application of system dynamics methodics for an understanding and teaching the project management. A dynamic simulation model has been created for this purpose by using Vensim. A web simulator for the project management, which is based on the simulation model, has been created in the next part of the thesis. The benefit of the simulator over the model is its user- friendliness and its self-explanatory graphic interface, which makes it possible to use the simulation model for purposes of teaching and further reaserch in the field of project management.

Mathematical models of effects of selected factors on photosnythesis for highschools
Cinibulková, Renata ; Albrechtová, Jana (advisor) ; Tichá, Ingrid (referee)
The goal of this Master thesis was development of teaching materials that are focusing on mastering the fundamentals of mathematical modelling on the examples of photosynthetic processes and influence of selected environmental factors on these processes. Developed models of photosynthetic response to select environmental factors, worksheets, methodical manuals and other supporting materials belong to the teaching materials for secondary schools and serve as a basis of work with models. This teaching materials are aimed to introduce modelling and its significance not only in science but also in education. The present thesis was accomplished on the basis of participation of the Department of Experimental Plant Biology of Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague in international project NSF within programme GLOBE - The Carbon Cycle. The present thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part includes a literary review and an introduction to the mathematical modelling (in software Stella) that are elaborated considering the teaching purposes and serve as a theoretical background for practical part of present thesis. The chapters that deal with increasing interest in mplementing of modelling in education and with philosophical background of software...

System approach and simulation of business processes in the chosen restaurant
Taraskina, Anastasiya ; Krejčí, Igor (advisor) ; Horáková, Tereza (referee)
The bachelor thesis is concentrating on application of system dynamics in the real restaurant, to be more specific on ordering system of vegetables to minimize its throwing out. In theoretic part there is mentioned the history of system dynamics, its many applications in the world and in the Czech Republic. Next there are explained important terms that are connected to system dynamics. There is mentioned the relation between system dynamics and system thinking. Also there are tools used to describe structure of the system and the most recent system's archetypes. The practical part describes the restaurant and there are set goals that the model is trying to achieve. There are described two diagrams, one is causal loop diagram and the other is stock and flow diagram. Thanks to these diagrams it was possible to receive optimization for needed data and to achieve set goals.

Dynamic model of human resources in project management
Hančar, Michal ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Šviráková, Eva (referee)
This thesis is focused on dynamics of soft factors influencing workers during projects. These factors include motivation, workplace atmosphere, team synergy of workers and their emotions, and attribute of project manager who manages the project. Identification of soft factors and their relationships was achieved by examination of scientific literature in psychology and system dynamics. Description of managing project matters was achieved by examination of scientific literature dealing with project management. The main objective of this thesis is to create a dynamic model which simulates behavior of these soft factors influencing the project staff. The primary metric of the model is efficiency of workers participating on the project based on input parameters. Validation of the model was achieved by verification of historic behavior of key elements. Results of validation experiments correspond with historic behavior with roughly 95 % accuracy. At the end of this thesis is presented an ICT project case study. Based on the results of simulation experiments is performed a scenario analysis which tries to bring possible suggestions for project management.

Modelling Scenarios of Development of Small Agriculture Businesses
Koláčková, Gabriela ; Tichá, Ivana (advisor) ; Stanislava, Stanislava (referee)
The paper deals with the dynamic simulation of possible development scenarios of small farmers. The model is based on the official data sources but also on the qualitative research of small farmers. The modelling structure reflects the specifics of the examined field and personal and social specifics of small farmers. For the purposes of the analysis, the business model describes the value creation in the small farms, thereafter the model is extended into dynamic simulation model and the selected scenarios of development are simulated.
The analysis shows the impact of the current setup in the field. Despite the paper contains the optimistic scenarios, simple change of parameters leads to unsustainable situation. The pessimistic scenarios grow from realistic conditions when parameters reflects the recent period settings. This clearly depicts the influence of weak market position of the farmers and advocates the diversification tendencies.
