The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the current marketing situation of DRFG and propose recommendations for improving marketing effectiveness and customer targeting. The aim is not considered fulfilled. The theoretical part is weak and relies on few repetitive sources. For a thesis focused on marketing mix, I would expect competitor analysis to compare marketing mix elements specifically, not just general market positioning. The author conducted a questionnaire survey with only 41 respondents, which is insufficient for the target segment, and no methodology is provided for how the questionnaire was designed. The proposal part is the weakest section — recommendations remain general and not properly developed. The author mentions cost estimates as ranges in text (e.g., "3-6 million CZK") but there is no structured summary table or total calculation. Implementation timelines are similarly vague. For proposals such as "cooperation with banks" or "fintech collaboration," the author fails to identify specific potential partners — why are no concrete companies mentioned? Minor typos appear in table and graph citations. The plagiarism check shows high level of similarity due to upload timing — the work is original. I recommend the thesis for defense.

Q: Which specific banks or fintech companies would you recommend DRFG approach for partnership, and what would be the total annual budget required to implement all your proposed recommendations?

Fulfilment of the objective
The objective of the thesis was to analyze the marketing mix and competitive environment of DRFG and propose recommendations for improving marketing effectiveness and customer targeting. The objective was fulfilled, and the thesis addresses all stated partial objectives.

Approach to solving the problem and contribution of the student
The author uses appropriate analytical methods, including the 4Ps marketing mix, SWOT analysis, Porter’s Five Forces analysis, and a questionnaire survey. The main contribution of the thesis lies in the comprehensive evaluation of DRFG’s current marketing activities and the formulation of recommendations aimed at strengthening brand awareness and customer relationships. The practical recommendations are relevant, however, some of them are relatively general and lack a more detailed feasibility or economic assessment. The questionnaire survey provides useful insights, although its explanatory value is limited by the relatively small sample size.

Formal layout and language level
The thesis is logically structured and clearly organized. The formal layout meets the requirements for a bachelor thesis. The language level is good, and the text is generally clear and understandable. Minor stylistic imperfections occur occasionally. Some parts of the analytical section are descriptive and contain repeated information.

Compliance with standard requirements for a bachelor thesis
The thesis meets the standard requirements for a bachelor thesis in the field of Business and Management. The author demonstrates the ability to work with relevant literature, apply theoretical concepts to a practical problem, and formulate recommendations based on the findings. The analytical depth is average, which is reflected in the proposed evaluation.

Overall assessment: The thesis is a solid piece of work with a relevant topic and practical orientation. Despite certain shortcomings in analytical depth and critical evaluation, it fulfils the objectives and requirements of a bachelor thesis.

Proposed grade: C. Topics for thesis defence:

1. Why did you choose Porter’s Five Forces model for the analysis of the competitive environment? Which of your recommendations would be the easiest for DRFG to implement?
