Abstrakt: | Zlin - up to now has been considered a symbol of business success, represented by its famous native Tomas Barn, whose business changed the character of the town significantly. Zlin had been considerably modernized and turned into a distinctive company town. However, till 1914 the town of Zlin was no industrial center, but a small town of agro-trade character. In this period, the public engagement of Zlin entrepreneurs corresponded to their education, economic level and power. Until the end of the 19th century, conventional solidarity was typical of all economically active people. However, since the beginning of the 20th century, this solidarity had been gradually disrupted by the advanced industrialization. It was typical of this period that mostly small businessmen, tradesmen and farmers were engaged in public affairs such as politics or culture. After the establishment of the shoe companies, the influence of the two most important enterpreneurs upon the public life in Zlin had increased. This influence was particularly manifested in 1907, as the representatives of the new enterpreneurs took seats in the municipal board. The public engagement of Tomas Bata, the most important entrepreneur in Zlin, was demonstrated only after World War I, as he became the mayor of Zlin in 1923 and started rebuilding the town in accordance with his own conception. |
