Dolejš, Martin ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Šmíd, Milan (referee)
The growing importance of media economics has been recently highlighted by the on- going recession of economy, which has caused a reduction of budgets for advertising. This fact has reduced the revenues of media companies and urged their need for a change of business model. As well as other commercial entities, media companies need for their business a source of financing, which allows them to create a new company, expand or restructure. Besides traditional ways of financing such as bank loans, new ways of attracting capital recently emerged: private equity funds. These funds do not only provide a company with capital but also bring know- how and actively help to manage the company. The aim of this paper is to describe the private equity funds and media market in the Czech Republic and based on this analysis to discuss the best opportunities for a cooperation of media companies and private equity funds in the Czech Republic. The impact of private equity financing on a media company will be also analysed.
