Město Zlín pod správou firmy Baťa

The aim of my thesis is to objectively assess what the company Bata meant for the city of Zlín. In detail, I deal with the end of the nineteenth century until the mid-twentieth century, when the most important achievements were made for the development and growth of the city of Zlín. In the first chapter is a history of the city of Zlín from its beginning up to the end of the 50's of the 20th century, in particular I focus on the time when the brothers Bata started the business in Zlín. The second chapter deals with Thomas Bata as a mayor. The last chapter describes the social projects that the company Bata created for its employees.
