Hospodářské procesy v ČSR na příkladu Škodových závodů v letech 1945-1953

This bachelor´s thesis examines economic processes in Czechoslovakia from 1945 to 1953, using the example of Škoda Works in Pilsen, later known as the V. I. Lenin Works. In this thesis, the author seeks to describe the institutional and ownership changes that affected the Škoda Works as a result of their nationalization, the introduction of state administration, and their subsequent transformation into a state-owned enterprise. The work also addresses the reconstruction of the Pilsen plant, which was more than three-quarters destroyed as a result of Allied bombing. The concluding section of the work then focuses on the enterprises´s role within the first five-year plan. Following the events of the Victorious February and as a part of the building of socialism, the enterprise was reoriented toward production in the heavy industry sector. Historical sources show that the company regularly encountered problems in its efforts to fulfill the tasks assigned to it during the first five-year plan.
