Performance Assessment of the Selected Company according to Model Start Plus and Proposals for the Improvement
Hamerník, Petr ; Janíček, Jiří (referee) ; Veselý, Josef (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the evaluation of the performance of the selected company with the help of a multi-criteria model START PLUS. The whole thesis is divided into four fundamental parts that are intertwined. The first part deals with the objectives set and the chosen methodology of this thesis. The theoretical block explains the basic concepts and conventional and unconventional approaches to performance measurement. In the analytical part, the company is characterized, and a complex analysis is carried out based on the chosen model, which results in the identification of strengths and opportunities for improvement, as well as in the point assessment in the studied areas. Based on these findings, real measures are created in the design part, which should contribute to the increase the performance of the company.

Statistical Method Selection Matters: Vanilla Methods in Regression May Yield Misleading Results
Kalina, Jan
The primary aim of this work is to illustrate the importance of the choice of the appropriate methods for the statistical analysis of economic data. Typically, there exist several alternative versions of common statistical methods for every statistical modeling task\nand the most habitually used (“vanilla”) versions may yield rather misleading results in nonstandard situations. Linear regression is considered here as the most fundamental econometric model. First, the analysis of a world tourism dataset is presented, where the number of international arrivals is modeled for 140 countries of the world as a response of 14 pillars (indicators) of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index. Heteroscedasticity is clearly recognized in the dataset. However, the Aitken estimator, which would be the standard remedy in such a situation, is revealed here to be very inappropriate. Regression quantiles represent a much more suitable solution here. The second illustration with artificial data reveals standard regression quantiles to be unsuitable for data contaminated by outlying values. Their recently proposed robust version turns out to be much more appropriate. Both\nillustrations reveal that choosing suitable methods represent an important (and often difficult) part of the analysis of economic data.
