Six months after Kamil Musílek was appointed professor, that is on December 18, 2019, the Czech Minister of Education Robert Plaga and the Czech Minister of Defence Lubomír Metnar presented an appointment letter to 70 new professors in Karolinum, Charles University, Prague. Hana Mohelská is one of them. She works at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, UHK, and went through the appointment procedure at the Faculty of Management of the University of Economics in Prague. She specialises in Management.
“The appointment procedure has been rather demanding. The habilitation and professor appointment criteria are getting ever the more strict and it is therefore increasingly more difficult to meet them. One must think strategically even about the selection of the field of specialisation and its contribution to the faculty. All circumstances must be considered. And it is also necessary to have a little bit of luck – which I did,” the new professor admits with a smile.
prof. Ing. Hana Mohelská, Ph.D. graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. In 2007 she obtained her PhD at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, UHK, and habilitated as an Associate Professor at Tomas Bata University in Zlín.
She has been teaching at the Faculty of Informatics and Management since 2002 and became Head of the Department of Management in 2008. In her research at the FIM UHK, she currently cooperates with the team lead by Associate Professor Sokolová on the development of pro-innovative organisational culture, which stands on four basic pillars – leadership by inspiring others, human resources as the key to success, basic values as the anchor and innovation as the style of thinking.
In her free time, she enjoys cycling, skiing and hiking whatever the weather. She also enjoys quiet conversations with her friends over a glass of wine.
“For the second time, the Faculty of Informatics and Management placed first among Czech economy-oriented universities. That was great news for all of us. But also a great responsibility, including the responsibility to improve our professional qualifications,” Professor Mohelská explains. “Our department does not just teach management, we also provide training and guidance in many other specialized subjects, which allows our students to extend their professional reach to areas such as marketing, market research, HR management, psychology, sociology, logistics and law. This was also one of the reasons why I strived to obtain the title of professor in the field of Management,” she adds.
