Monitoring the social impact as a tool to increase the credibility of non-profit organizations
Nejedlá, Barbora ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Komberec Novosadova, Barbora (referee)
This diploma thesis combines the method of monitoring the social impact with the phenomenon of the credibility of non-profit organizations. According to the results of public opinion polls in the Czech Republic, confidence in non-profit organizations has been low for a long time. Lack of transparency and low awareness of the activities and principles of non- profit organizations can be reasons for distrust in non-profit organizations. This thesis aims to present a method of monitoring the impact of those who do not yet know it using a manual based on the results of action research and thus contribute to greater transparency and better presentation of results and later greater credibility of organizations. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with trust and credibility, the method of monitoring the impact and the introduction of the non-profit sector of the Czech Republic. Emphasis is placed on a multi-sided view, practical examples, and data support. The empirical part of this work uses action research and human-centerd design to connect trust and credibility with the method of monitoring the impact in the sphere of non-profit organizations. The result of action research is that the implementation of the impact monitoring method brings with it many changes, which can be distinguished into...

The Critical Systems Thinking and its necessity and usability within a commercial company
Pilecký, Jakub ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pavlíček, Antonín (referee)
This thesis deals with the critical systems thinking (CST) and its necessity and usability within a commercial company. Critical systems thinking is defined and explained from different perspectives, first as a specific way of approaching a problem, but as a tool for problem solving as well. The thesis also details the specific skills of critical systems thinking and systems archetypes and identifies some interrelations between CST and a specific commercial company with its needs. The practical part is focused on the process of solving specific problems using critical systems thinking, it also discusses the benefits and limitations and evaluates the overall necessity of CST for a commercial company.

Analysis of enterprise's complex system
Malackanič, Roman ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Berta, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the analysis of a particular soft complex system in the company. This system is a running car service with a determined problem situation. This system and its problem is then evaluated in terms of soft systems methodology, system dynamics and critical systems heuristics. The theoretical section provides concepts to understand the complexity and also individual system approaches. As beneficial of work I consider the practical part, which is aimed to the analysis of complex real-world system using the selected approaches as well as an evaluation of these approaches. Main purpose is to bring comparisons and suggestions for improvement and also a broader view to the system. All of this increases information value of approaches and we are able to deliver more relevant information. Thesis is therefore focused not only to deal with examples from practice but also to extend the selected theories within the system approaches.

Effect of overtime X motivation on the dynamics of the project
Sarvaš, Marcel ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Šimek, Luděk (referee)
Final thesis discusses about the influence of overtime and motivation to manage projects. The thesis highlights the positive characteristics about connection between the system dynamics and the project management. Includes basic theoretical definition of motivation, management control and overall project management. Analyze the possibility of using different methods, especially motivation to influence or stimulate the work flow. Highlights the positive qualities of the use of dynamic modeling and simulation to solve IS/ICTprojects. It examin the real situation of overtime influence on solving the problem. This situation is portrayed in the relevant diagrams of system dynamics and it is modeled in the program Powersim. The text also contains a detailed procedure for the entire solution.

Importance of systems thinking and capability of its application by students of Information management
Svoboda, Roman ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Exnarová, Anna (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the indispensability of the systems thinking and its testing. Theoretical analysis of the subject as the first part of the thesis points to show the importance of the systems thinking in everyday life, the definition of essential skills within the systems thinking and typical mistakes we commit in the thinking processes. The theoretical analysis puts the accent on justification of the systems thinking importance in the scope of information management. Another part of the thesis is focused on globally used examples in testing processes of the systems thinking which are supplied with newly arised questions in this thesis. The last part of the thesis contains a detailed analysis of the systems thinking skills among students of Information Management. Their results are compared with two other result samples gained from testing of other students of the University of Economics.

Specifika informačního managemntu v síťové topologii
Buzek, Jiří ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Král, Miroslav (referee)
This work deals with programs designed to manage data networks and to their use in managerial practice. The purpose is to explain how these programs contribute to a systemic understanding of managed network and system thinking. All these methods are applied on example of two largest wireless ISP companies in South Bohemia. The dissertation explains the issue of making mental models of the managed network, which concerns specially managers of ISP companies. The work is not an administrator view at programs for network management, but rather a management view and instructions how to use these programs in management decisions to solve complex problems and future development of managed network.

Systems Thinking and its Benefits for the Creation and Operation of Information Systems
Slovák, Martin ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Exnarová, Anna (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to summarize the mthods of systém thinking, and to analyze the benefits of using these methods while developing and using the information system on that basis. Part of the thesis targets is the creation of models for analysis of an organisation, projection and follow-up cration of na IS. The thesis also gives the views of IS use -- there it shows models for human resources and the views of services. The benefits of this thesis is the description of the methods of systém thinking, the application disciplines and their use while creating and using the IS. Other benefit should be the possibility to quicken the IS production and to lower external effects on the process of IS creation. In the domain of IS operation, the possibility of fuction modelling and the possibility of IT department simulation will be shown. In the first part of the work the topics of system thinking is defined -- from its definition to division o the problematics. In the same part there is also shown the impact of worldview and the application desciplines are defined -- such as systém analysis, systém dynamics and systém engineering. In the second part of the thesis, the reader can find the definition and analysis of the IS production -- mostly from the view of organization, for which the IS is designed. In the last part the readers may find the view of systems thinking and its benefits in the area of IS operation -- concretely the model, that shows and decribes the possibility of simulation and follow-up optimisation in the organization.

Network solutions with principles of systems thinking
Veselý, Luděk ; Mildeová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Exnarová, Anna (referee)
The main goal of this work is the application of system thinking in computer networks design and use of the systems thinking as a unique way of thinking and the presentation of the big potential which the systems thinking has in complex problem solving. Advanced network technologies are also described with their benefits for any organization. This thesis brings a whole new sight at the computer networks as a complex system and describes procedure of making a computer project in detail which can be used as a general reference model in the field of computer technologies. Solution include strong accent on how the basic knowledge of computer networking is important for information manager profession.
