Abstract
The article analyzes the role Business Analyst in Czech companies in the context of current requirements of economic entities. The requirements represent the level and structure of knowledge and experience that the person entering the role should possess. We analyze them in time according to selection surveys carried out between 2006 and 2010. The article also includes a brief presentation of the methodology used for the survey including the method for measuring the knowledge in the different knowledge domains, selection of statistical sample for the selection survey among the companies and definition of how the data obtained was evaluated. In the end, the identified requirements of this role are stated as well as their dependence on the investigated aspects and the impacts of those requirements on the options for training this type of experts in the universities.
