Optimalization of Constructional Teams Creation by Genetic Algorithms
Špaček, Jiří ; Zelinka, Ivan (referee) ; Šeda, Miloš (referee) ; Ošmera, Pavel (advisor)
The thesis pertains to optimisation of workgroups in companies. It is based on the work of Dr. Meredith Belbin from the Henley Management College, who is the author of the so-called Belbin’s team role theory. The theory defines fundamental roles within a team including specifications of the behavioural patterns while stipulating that in order to ensure proper functionality of a team, it is essential for all the roles to be represented in it. However, in practice it is necessary for specific people to comply not only with certain personal and psychological requirements but also professional expertise and other requirements. Nevertheless, by the means of adding these parameters to specific people, an enormous number of possible alternatives of the resulting team, which may not be evaluated (easily and in the real time) using traditional methods, proves to come to existence. Therefore, the so-called genetic algorithms inspired by natural development processes originally described by J. G. Mendel and Ch. Darwin were selected for evaluation purposes. The genetic algorithms feature good solutions to the task to be resolved in a very short time while the task does not have to be based on exact specifications and therefore several solutions might exist. A Java application was created within the scope of the thesis; its core comprises a genetic algorithm and it was used for the purpose of modelling of specific teams. The results provided by the application were subsequently verified by the means of creation of teams used for completion of new tasks and monitoring their activities in practice. Furthermore, the model verification of teams previously created solely on the basis of experience of executives was performed and the respective results were compared.

Teambuilding in selected organisation
Havránková, Markéta ; Urbancová, Hana (advisor) ; Fajčíková, Adéla (referee)
In most operating companies, assignments are becoming increasingly demanding. This trend is gradually leading to the importance of teamwork. Managers who are fully aware of the complexity of this sort of interaction, are now focusing on developing their team and nurturing the relationships between individual members. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the team-building activities at Red Bull, to identify present flaws and to suggest effective solutions. A thorough analysis of literary sources serves as a solid theoretical basis while the quantitative and qualitative research deliver practical results. The questionnaire method and an interview with an employee of the company's human resources department were also conducted. The main findings indicate that Red Bull's team-building program is mostly effective. Activities are organized in a broad range of focus and most employees perceive them as effective entertainment that supports the team spirit. The main recommendation is to improve the way team-building is communicated from the managers to their subordinates. The second recommendation is to train managers in developing effective team-building programs.

Teambuilding in selected organisation
Marešová, Michaela ; Urbancová, Hana (advisor) ; Fajčíková, Adéla (referee)
Today, teams are an integral part of almost every organisation. As such, teamwork has become a popular trend in recent years. But in order for a team to operate well,
an organisations management must help too. Whether communication needs to be improved in a team, or the performance of employees must be increased, without mutual
co-operation organisations cannot expect the best possible results. The objective of this bachelors thesis is to identify and assess teamwork and the use of teambuilding in
a chosen organisation. The study involves an analysis of secondary sources and uses
a quantitative research method. The studys theoretical section analyses academic literature. The practical section first describes the chosen organisation and subsequently assesses the results of the survey. The study finally ascertains the satisfaction of the organisations employees with team communication, teamwork and the teambuilding activities which the organisation secures. Recommendations are made for the organisation in the form of specific teambuilding activities. Regular get-togethers outside the organisation, or the implementation of outdoor activities can be recommended to the organisation for team development.

Analysis of a team in organization and criteria of its effectivity
Valentínová, Alexandra ; Nový, Ivan (advisor) ; Lorencová, Hana (referee)
The master thesis is dealing with an analysis of existing working team in the Slovak company Artexe s.r.o. The aim of work is the classification of the chosen team, based on the obtained theoretical knowledge, and the revelation of its weak spots. Theoretical part of the thesis defines the basic terms and clusters the information necessary for the realization of analysis. In the empirical part, the monitored work team is being tested from the point of various critical situations. For the purpose of observation, the method of a questionnaire is used. Altogether, the research consists of four research questionnaires, which monitor problematic dimensions of a team, the need of teambuilding and typical roles of individuals of the team. The results of the analysis serve to reveal problematic spheres and, subsequently, for the proposal of concrete recommendations to achieve more effective functioning of the working team of Artexe company. Collected proposals of solutions come from the related literature and researches of domestic or foreign authors.

Outdoor - building teams in an organization
Štefanová, Tereza ; Lorencová, Hana (advisor) ; Hrnčíř, Luděk (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with a form of outdoor method of teambuilding in organizations. The methodic part introduces a general conception of building teams including work and cooperation in teams, team roles and teams within organizations. In conclusion the main concept of teambuilding is outlined trough the use of experience education. The practical part is dedicated to particular forms of outdoor programs in the Czech Republic and their influence over team members with response to rope course centre. This bachelor's thesis should serve as practical manual for personnel clerks, organizations seeking teambuilding expertise and also to suppliers of these services.
