Changes of Corporate Social Responsibility
Knížová, Kristýna ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
In 1953, Howard R. Bowen gave rise to the debate on social responsibility, and since then it has become very widespread. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility gained a lot of forms during the second half of the twentieth century and from the university campuses got into practice and also into the Czech Republic. On the background of changing theoretical approaches toward CSR we can see changes of business environment - especially in the change of the conceptualization of the enterprise - from shareholder perspective to stakeholder perspective. Stakeholder theory extensively influenced the approach to CSR. Based on the thematic analysis and interviews with the actors, I identified two main practiced approaches towards CSR. Some actors understand the corporate social responsibility on the background of moral values, on the contrary, other understand this concept on the background of economic interests of the company.

Labour relations and sociometry like a way of measurment
Knížová, Kristýna ; Kuchař, Pavel (advisor) ; Buchtík, Martin (referee)

Then he identificates the preferences and informal structure of the group. Working group is relevant for this methody thanks its basic characterics as common workplace, goals, everyday interactions etc. Nice relationships are important for employees too, there are not considered only good salary and job security. In my research I examined three different working groups and I used the sociometric test. I present results in teams seperately because every of them is unique. At the end of research I summarize the main findings. In discussion I deal with the sociometric test in the methodological way. I write here about pros and cons which I had noticed. Finally I claim that the sociometric test is a suitable method for measuring sociopreferential choices of members and the informal structure of group.
