Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is a field of decision theory concerned with analyzing discrete sets of variables evaluated by multiple criteria. Facilitating decisions in such situations are several methods, among them a family known as ELECTRE. Using threshold values and the concept of outranking, they allow for improved modeling of the uncertain nature of real systems. This thesis sets out to describe all of the basic ELECTRE methods, as well as several of their modifications and further extensions and aims to do so with a sufficient level of detail and using precise mathematical language. It also presents key applications of said methods and reviews their implementation in software. Lastly, it introduces a brand new software, ELIA, developed as a part of the thesis. It allows users to solve practical problems using four of the basic ELECTRE methods.

This thesis is concerned with problematics of multi-criteria decision making, especially method DEMATEL, its modifications and combinations with another methods. There is description of particular steps of this methods and selected theory from various areas, which is used in these methods. In every chapter we can find theoretical explanation of these methods, description of their steps and afterwards these theoretical findings are applied on numerical example. Firstly, the crucial method is introduced. Then this thesis is concerned with its adjustments based, on different approaches, which are often used not only in decision making. In the end, all these findings are aggregated and new method is founded.

Extensive solutions of Business Intelligence consist of wide range of projects. One of them is generating of reporting layer whose part is setting of dashboards. This diploma thesis deals with dashboards and tools serving to their formation. In the first part of the thesis there is explained the theory of dashboards in current company informatics. Consequently there is created a set of evaluative criteria helping with mutual comparison of the tool for the forming of dashboards, which is the primary aim of the thesis. In the last part of the thesis there is a presentation and evaluation of one selected tool (Dashboard Designer) according to the criteria stated in the thesis. During the evaluation of the tool it is possible to verify some of the criteria on the basis of practical experience. That is why the demonstrative implementation of Dashboard Designer over the test data is shown. Thus the second aim of the diploma thesis is completed. Aforementioned targets are achieved on account of pieces of knowledge about dashboards coming especially from the literature published by authorities in the line of business and from background research concerned with contemporary approach to the evaluation of tool for the forming of dashboards. In addition to formed criteria this diploma thesis can be instrumental to further discussion about dashboards and their role in current company informatics.

The theme of the graduation thesis is the process of public procurement in the state-established organization. Since the sphere of public procurement is very extensive the thesis focus on possibilities of use of multiple criteria decision making methods for the selection of the optimal offer. In addition to multicriterial decision making methods the thesis deals with preparative phase of the whole process especially with the statement of the evaluative criteria and determination of their weights. The thesis refers to the deficiencies of the process of public procurement that we can see in practice and tries to propose the possibilities how to avoid these deficiencies.

The graduation theses deals with producing the draft for optimalisation options in Slovak Railway Company. The theses in theoretical part defines chosen basic requirements of Quality Management,defines the notions as customer satisfaction, measurement of quality, process management and improvement. It outlines the options for optimalisation bases of customer processes, that are determination, precise analysis and formulation of measurable criteria and finally proposes the optimalisation.The theses is connected with the results of questioning in bachelor theses.

The paper gives a picture of Turkey`s readiness for the membership in the EU. The Copenhagen criteria serve as a base for illustration of the status quo of Turkey`s preparation process. As Turkey`s negotiation process has already last for several decades, the first part of the thesis briefly describes the development of relations between EU and Turkey. The second part concentrates on the Copenhagen criteria and explains its origins as well as its content. Finally, the last part of thesis examinates to what extent Turkey fulfills the given areas of political and economic Copenhagen criteria. The focus was given on the most problematic areas as the main aim was to explain the origins of these problems and consequent obstacles Turkey has to tackle.

The study is focused on analysing of the process of convergence of the Czech republic to the European Economic and Monetary Union.

The topic of the thesis focuses on the analysis of various service provisioning practices from the view point of a prospect customer organization. Introductory part of the thesis summarizes the actual challenges of IS/ICT for an appropriate business alignment, defines the theoretical foundations of sourcing and ICT services, considering the contemporary state of these fields. Moreover, it identifies the related areas of these fields, like enterprise architecture, IS/ICT management, and systems integration. The central part deals with the identification and analysis of the areas that influence the decision making of ICT service sourcing. Results of this analysis are summarized and further developed by creating a framework to assist companies in deciding the most suited ICT sourcing solution. Within this framework the thesis summarizes important criteria to be considered for a much suited ICT service provisioning practice. It details the prerequisites for the use of this approach and its limitations. Subsequently, it presents an evaluation of certain ICT services within the SaaS market, that could be applicable in the enterprise environment. Finally, the thesis provides a simplified case study, demonstrating a required mindset for exercising the framework in practice.

The need for reliable and exact information that are needed to run a company is still growing. This fact leads to finding new ways to obtain, transform, but especially deliver these information. One of the most efficient way is to integrate Business Intelligence into company's information system that leads to the usage of analytical portals. This thesis's target is to acquaint the readers with the topic of analytical portals and conceivable method to evaluate analytical portals and tools designed to build them. This thesis consists of two general sections, theoretical and practical. The theoretical section consists of the explanation of the term analytical portal and the ways a company can benefit from usage of analytical portals. The criteria and the conceivable method to evaluate analytical portals and the tools designed to build them are specified further in this section. The practical section contains description and evaluation of certain tool designed to build analytical portals (SAS Portal). The evaluation is based on the criteria described in the theoretical section and data used in the exhibition of the SAS Portal are purely exemplificative.
