Horses have been companions to humans for thousands of years, both as work animals and as part of our culture. The Old Kladruber horse is a Czech autochthonous breed included in animal genetic resources. The aim of my thesis was to assess the gradual change in the external features of Old Kladruber horses in the years 1900 2013 in both the colour variants. I focused on 5 body measurements (height at the withers measured by tape, height at the withers measured by stick, girth of chest, girth of bone) collected for 1021 horses registered in the breed registry. The obtained values have been summarized and subsequently statistically and graphically evaluated. The results imply that values of wither height of Old Kladruber horses measured both by tape and stick have been increasing, whereas their weight has slightly dropped. In white horses, the average increase in the tape-measured wither height amounted to 3.5 cm and to 7 cm in black horses. Stick height at the withers has shown an increase ranging between 3 4.7 cm in white horses, while in black horses, the values ranged between 6 10 cm. In stallions, the chest girth was determined at 197.5 cm. White mares had a chest girth of 199.55 cm. Almost identical value, i.e. 198.13 cm, was determined for black mares. The bone girth has remained almost unchanged. A slight decrease was observed in white Old Kladruber horses stallions in the years 1970 2013 by 0.5 cm. This change was most probably caused by the addition of blood of other breeds in the past. A drop in the weight was monitored over the time interval of 1930 2013 and it ranged between 22 kg and 73 kg according to the monitored group. This drop in the weight and increase in the body frame implies a change in the type of the horse, tending rather to the sports type. However, this change can also be affected by the conditions in the environment. Only in unique cases, the values of the variation coefficient in the years 1990 2013 exceeded the limit of 10%. Groups of monitored horses of both colour variants can thus be considered balanced. In the years 1990 2013, several horses of a non-compliant standard height were also included in the breed. This was required as part of the attempt to preserve all of the existing lines and families as well as to keep the coefficient of relationship low.

Data integration techniques are one of the core elements of DIECOFIS, an EU-funded international research project that aims at developing a methodology for the construction of a system of indicators on competitiveness and fiscal impact on enterprise performance. Data integration is also of major interest for official statistics agencies as a means of using available information more efficiently and improving the quality of the agency's products. The Austrian member of the project consortium comprises university departments, representatives from the Bundesanstalt Statistik Austria, from the Statistical Department of the Austrian Economic Chamber, and from ec3, a non-profit research corporation. This paper gives a short report on DIECOFIS in general and on the Austrian contribution to the project, mainly dealing with data integration methodology. Various papers that have been read at the DIECOFIS workshop last November in Vienna, will be published as a Special Issue of the Austrian Journal of Statistics.

Le contexte empirique dans lequel s’inscrit ce travail concerne les changements à l’œuvre dans l’industrie du cinéma français liés à l’impact des NTIC. Nous y étudions la construction collective du processus de régulation entre les acteurs du secteur et le CNC (le Centre National du Cinéma l’Image Animée) de l’autre, c’est à dire la cogestion du secteur. Nous nous intéressons à deux phénomènes. Nous cherchons à comprendre le déroulé de différents débats dans la presse qui se constituent autour des années 2012–2014. Deuxièmement, nous menons une réflexion portant sur le type d’outils de gestion mobilisés par l’organisation en charge de la régulation du secteur, le CNC.Nous proposons de représenter le processus de régulation du secteur du cinéma français au travers de l’évolution des épreuves organisées par le CNC auxquelles les acteurs du secteur décident de participer. L’évolution de ces épreuves passe alors par le développement de critiques à l’égard de ces épreuves, venant des acteurs du secteur ou des équipes du CNC.La cogestion du secteur se construit alors à la fois de manière encadrée (les épreuves sont créées et organisées) et émergente au travers des activités de critiques des acteurs. Nous y étudions la place des outils de gestion, et en particulier celle des indicateurs statistiques.Nous construisons un modèle de cogestion par l’épreuve qui nous permet de mettre en avant les risques liés aux changements dans l’industrie. Le fonctionnement régulier de la cogestion, où les critiques viennent nourrir la cogestion tout en permettant son adaptation, permet l’intégration des retours des acteurs du secteur. Le risque lié aux NTIC se caractérise par la possibilité de remise en cause des principes d’évaluation à l’origine des épreuves. / The empirical context for this work concerns the changes in the movie industry due to the NTIC. We study the collective regulation process of the sector by industry stakeholders and the CNC (National Center for Cinema). We look at two phenomena. We study the debates in the press during the 2012-2014 period. Second, we look at the types of management tools used by the CNC as the organization in charge of regulating the French movie industry.We propose to represent the regulation process in the French movie industry as the organisation and evolution of trials to which actors of the sector participate.This co-regulation process is seen here as both framed and emergent. We study the role of management tools, especially statistical indicators in this co-regulation process.We build a co-regulation model based on the trial notion, allowing us to illustrate the risks linked to the changes occurring in the industry. In the regular functioning of the model, critics can be formulated an integrated to the trial system and allow for its adaptation. The risk linked to NTIC is characterized by the possibility of questioning the evaluation principles at the very foundation of the trial system.

The intention of this diploma thesis is to expound the issue of controlling in a selected company. The diploma thesis is divided into three key sections. The first is the theoretical part, which contains defined concepts such as controlling, reporting or profit centers, on which this work is based in other sections. The analytical part describes the current situation of the selected company for the elaboration of the diploma thesis. In the last part, based on the findings from the previous analytical part, a proposal for improvement is made.
