Managing the process of a product's development prior to its release is the dominant theme of this graduation thesis. In today's modern turbulent world, businesses compete to be a strong force in the market arena. From start to finish it is necessary to keep the consumer's demands and wants as the driving force when managing the operation. Factors that are critical in the implementation of the operation are working with a manageable portfolio, forecasting unforeseen expenses, profit gains and losses. Purchasing the most recent and efficient software program or electronics to assist in the operation could be more effective but more expensive upfront. On the other hand, purchasing a complex program or electronics will be ineffective if the user is unable to comprehend its complete functions or abilities. Proper and thorough analysis is necessary in foreseeing all possible obstacles to a smooth operation. Presently, it is not uncommon for companies to implement new technology without previous analysis. The result is a rapidly growing demand for a product reliant on this technology to help produce or support it. As a result, they find themselves in a tight spot very soon. Resolving the issue consists of additional and extended analyses of changes and in the reimplementation of the technology, a process that can be slow and tap into an already tight budget. In conclusion, this dissertation surmises that documentation of and organized implementation of processes in a real manufacturing corporation is necessary to improve not only the quality of processes in support of reaching economic targets but also in assuring quality labour performances of all employees.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze historical development, current situation and potential trends of future development of business enviroment in Russian Federation. This thesis shall provide sufficient information base especially for small and medium-sized Czech enterprises, that are deciding whether to export to the Russian market, or act on it directly. The thesis is also focussing on possible advantages of Czech enterprises in export to Russian market, as well as on various kinds of support, that are provided to them by governmental and non-governmental organizations in Czech Republic.

Körperschaften öffentlichen Rechts im Bildungsbereich zeichnen sich durch eine zunehmende Digitalisierung der Geschäftsprozesse aus. Dies trifft auch für Hochschulen zu, wobei die Produktion der Bildung (hier unter dem Begriff eLearning) ein intensiv untersuchtes Themenfeld ist, sowohl betreffen die Lehre selbst (Fischer et al., 2006)) als auch die dafür erforderlichen Services (Neumann, 2006). Weniger intensiv debattiert wird die Betreuung der IT-Administration als Thema der Organisationsentwicklung. ... Beispielhaft anhand des Bereiches Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften der Technischen Universität Dresden thematisiert der Beitrag die aktuell anstehenden Gestaltungserfordernisse vor dem Hintergrund der Zielestellung, ein virtuelles Serviceteam für die Aufgaben der IT-Administration in Lehre, Forschung und Verwaltung über mehrere Fakultäten hinweg zu konzipieren. ...

Följande arbete utgör en fallstudie där en hybridanalys bestående av de två analysverktygen SWOT och AHP tillämpats. Syftet med arbetet har varit att identifiera vad den studerade verksamheten bör prioritera för att bli mer effektiv. Med hjälp av SWOT-modellen har styrkor, svagheter, möjligheter och hot kunnat identifieras. SWOT visar dock inte relevansen av de olika faktorerna och därför har modellen kompletterats med hjälp av AHP. Vid tillämpningen av AHP har en numerisk metod införts, vilket gör det möjligt att kvantifiera faktorerna inom SWOT och således kan de relativa viktfaktorerna härledas. Detta skapar ett tillförlitligare underlag för de strategiska beslut som verksamheten bör vidta, jämfört med om SWOT-analysen utförs självständigt. Studien har med signifikans identifierat att byråkratin ligger bakom en del av ineffektiviteten, vilket medför utdragna inköpsprocesser och planeringsprocesser. Studien utvärderar två olika skalor som en del av den numeriska metoden, en linjär och en kvadratisk. Den kvadratiska kräver normalt mer tid, men medför också högre tillförlitlighet. Däremot kan den medföra nackdelar om man inkluderar allokerandet av resurser, såsom tid, pengar eller personal som en tredje dimension inom AHP. Slutligen föreslår denna studie ett upplägg av hybridmodellen där man utnyttjar signifikansmåttet för att undersöka samstämigheten mellan exempelvis två individer kring vad som bör prioriteras. / This thesis presents a case study where a hybrid analysis containing the two frameworks SWOT and AHP has been made. The purpose has been to identify what the studied support business should prioritize in order to be more efficient. Using SWOT, one has been able to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the function. However, SWOT fails to show their relevance and therefor it has been supplemented with an AHP analysis. When applying AHP, a numerical method has been introduced that makes it possible to quantify the factors. Thus, the relative weight of the factors can be derived. This will create a more reliable basis for the strategic decisions that the support business should implement. The study shows, with significance that the biggest issue of the support function lies in bureaucracy, causing the purchase and planning processes to be inefficient. The study also evaluates two different scales as a part of the numerical method, one linear and one quadratic. The quadratic usually requires more time but provides a more reliable result. However, it can bring some disadvantages if one includes allocations of resources, such as time, money or labor as a third dimension within AHP. Finally, the thesis proposes a way of using the hybrid model and the significance measurement to find out how two people agrees regarding what should be prioritized.
