Corporate Performance Management (CPM) is a broad concept focused on managing performance of companies and is related to information technologies like Business Intelligence (BI). CPM and its associated technologies are currently one of the most tracked areas in the field of business informatics. The reason is the growing market competition, globalization, the dynamic changes on the market and the growing need for companies to effectively manage their performance. The aim of the theoretical part of the thesis is to familiarize readers with this concept, with its components and link to business informatics. The work focuses on a specific area of CPM, which is monitoring and analysis, i.e. dashboarding. In the thesis there is analyzed monitoring and analytical functionality of the software Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 (PPS). Furthermore, there are identified dashboard and scorecard concepts and analyzed the characteristics and categorization of dashboards. There are various best-practices approaches to deployment of dashboarding into business. In the thesis there are mentioned some of these practices and basic rules for proper dashboard design. At the end of the theoretical part of the thesis there are evaluated the world's leading suppliers of CPM solutions. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is design and documentation of CPM dashboarding solution based on the real business data of the company that provides consulting services and develops BI software. The solution is designed in the PPS software and its purpose is to support the company's management in terms of monitoring the effectiveness of internal and external projects and business activities of the company. The solution is not a definitive CPM solution, but a step by the company to reveal possible weaknesses in the organization and encourage efforts to develop its own holistic CPM solution.

This diploma thesis deals with the Business Intelligence reporting tools and more especially with their data visualization capabilities. There are a lot of different reporting and analytic tools focusing for example on ad-hoc query, tool for creating dashboards or scorecards, visual discovery tools and advanced analytical tools for data mining etc. This work, however, is focused especially on selected enterprise reporting tools and data visualization tools as well as their possibilities of data isualizations, i.e. using different types of graphs and other possible advanced data visualizations. The Business Intelligence fundamentals together with the possible the reporting and analysis visual outputs are described at the beginning of this diploma work. The reporting itself is also putted into the context of the Business Intelligence solution. The next section is focus on the visual possibilities of data visualization in BI reporting tools. It means that I created the list of possible BI data visualizations with the detail specifications and showing examples on each of them. After this part, there are shown proper data visualizations for each of the selected BI domains, like finance, sales, marketing and human resources. This output belong to one of the main contributions of this work and also could be practically useful in the process of report creation and selection for Clever Decision's BI reporting needs. In the next chapter I compare the visual possibilities for each of the selected BI reporting tools according to Gartner. To this purpose the official documentations will be used as well as my personal experience gained from using some of selected reporting tools. In the last section there are detail views for each of two selected advanced data visualizations including a detail specification on each of them as well as his possible usage in practice and possibilities for further extension as well. The source of information in this section will be professional electronic resources focused on data visualization, design and so on.

Les bourgeons gustatifs, les organes sensoriels du goût, sont localisés dans la cavité oropharyngéenne et ils sont conservés chez les vertébrés à mâchoire. Selon leur localisation, ils ont une origine épithéliale différente (rostralement, ectodermique et caudalement endodermique). Ils sont composés de trois types cellulaires distincts qui détectent les différentes qualités gustatives. Bien que l'induction et la différenciation cellulaire de ces organes sont bien étudiées, les mécanismes de la formation des organes intactes et fonctionnelles à partir de ces cellules restent inconnus.L'objectif de ce travail est de comprendre comment les cellules épithéliales se comportent in vivo afin de former des organes sensoriels gustatifs fonctionnels chez le poisson zèbre. En premier, une nouvelle lignée transgénique tg(fgf8a.enhancer:GFP) (gfp+) a été caractérisée. Elle est exprimée dans tous les types cellulaires du bourgeon au cours du développement. En deuxième, la vidéomicroscopie in vivo montre que les cellules gfp+ peuvent se différencier à des cellules sérotoninergiques (tph1b/5-HT) et elle se regroupent autour de ces dernières. En troisième, de façon surprenant, les cellules gfp+ sont motiles et elles peuvent se déplacer d'un bourgeon à l'autre. Enfin, l'ablation au laser multi-photon et l'analyse du mutant ascl1a-/- montrent que la cellule 5-HT est nécessaire au maintien des cellules gfp+ dans le bourgeon. Ce travail démontre pour la première fois que la formation des bourgeons gustatifs est un processus dynamique et que les cellules de cet organe sensoriel sont motiles. / Taste buds are the sensory organs of taste, located within the oropharyngeal cavity and conserved in jawed vertebrates. They derive from two epithelia, ectodermal rostrally and endodermal caudally, without showing any major physiological differences. They are multicellular organs, composed of three distinct cell types that detect different taste stimuli. Several signaling pathways, including Wnt/b-catenin, Shh, Bmp, Notch and Fgf are required in the induction and differentiation of taste bud cells. The current work aims at understanding how oropharyngeal epithelial cells that differentiate to taste bud cell types, do behave in vivo to form functional sensory organs. The zebrafish larva is used as model because of its genetics, optical clarity and accessibility of the oropharynx. Firstly, a new transgenic line tg(fgf8a.enhancer:GFP) is characterized with respect to taste bud development. It is expressed in epithelial and all differentiating taste bud cell types. Second, spinning disk timelapse shows that gfp+ cells form groups, one of them differentiates to the 5-HT cell and altogether correspond to a developing taste bud organ. Third, surprisingly, developing taste bud cells are motile between neighbouring taste bud organs. Finally, focal two-photon laser ablation of the 5-HT cell and analysis of ascl1a-/- that is devoid of 5-HT cells show that the 5-HT cell is required for the maintenance of gfp+ cells into the developing taste bud. This is the first evidence that taste bud formation is dynamic, developing cells are motile between taste buds and require one taste bud cell type (5-HT) for their maintenance into the organ.
