Support of company management systems using available software tools
Panák, Petr ; Jandová, Kristýna (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
Successful organisations are build upon effective management systems based on general values, concepts and processes, described not only in standards. While standards represent general requirements, area of expertise demands specific requirements. In both cases management systems are supported by suitable software tools making collaboration and workflow easier. The thesis focuses on correct evaluation of software tools adhering to relevant requirements of ISO standards. General evaluation criteria are outlined and then specified. Evalution approach, method and guide are created. Table and database editors are considered as possible evaluation tools. As an example, tools for organisation management support are evaluated. The practical part of the thesis describes a specific organisation and its needs for document and internal audit management, from which criteria, evaluation method and recommendations are drawn. At the end is described the counselling procedure.

EEC and CMEA in 1957-1973
Krejčová, Jana ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Lomíček, Jan (referee)
The relationship between the European Economic Community and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance went through a major transformation between 1957 and 1973. This thesis argues that the institutional interactions between these two organizations were a logical consequence of their internal development. Both represented a regional economic integration and despite political and ideological differences they have been forced to establish a certain level of cooperation, due to the expanding contacts between the member states. After the signing of the Treaties of Rome, which founded EEC, CMEA refused to recognize de jure the existence of the Community and condemned it as a discriminatory capitalist organization. At the same time the Council passed reforms that were supposed to link its economies and strengthen the cohesion of the Eastern bloc. By adoption of the Statute of 1959, the CMEA established its internal structure and operating principles. The first success of the EEC, the pursuit of its own reforms and the UK application motivated CMEA to revise its attitude to the EEC for the first time. The Soviet leadership tried unsuccessfully to get through a supranational leadership of the CMEA - principle they criticized in the EEC for being discriminatory. After the appointment of de Gaulle as...

Pružinská, Lucia ; Čech, Petr (advisor) ; Patěk, Daniel (referee)
Unfair terms in consumer contracts Abstract This master thesis deals with the unfair terms in contracts concluded with consumers. Firstly, the main notions associated with the topic of unfair terms are described, especially the notion of consumer as it is a crucial term for the purpose of this thesis and notions related to it such as entrepreneur, or seller of goods and supplier of services, and consumer contract. Further it deals with the key EU legislation in the context of unfair terms, which is mainly the Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts. The principle of minimum harmonisation on which this Directive is based upon is also explained. Moreover, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is indeed rich, considering the length of time period the Directive has already been in force, and has often undergone major developments, is one of the main focus points. In the light of the case law it aims to explain which terms are considered to be unfair, and which aspects are essential to that assessment. These include, for example, the concept of inadequacy and transparency, significant imbalance of rights and obligations or fairness. It explains how these concepts are interpreted and what are the consequences of such unfair terms, in particular...
