Politics of Corporate Hospitality in Light of Christian Ethics
Havelka, Ondřej ; Mašek, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
The Diploma Thesis "Corporate Hospitality Policy in the Light of Christian Ethics" deals with the question whether there is a fair form and degree of rationalized corporate hospitality compatible with the bases of both general and Christian ethics. The thesis presents a comprehensive view of a wide range of approaches to corporate hospitality from selfless, over rationalized, up to binding, manipulating and corrupt. Corporate hospitality is a very current, widely used management tool. It can be a gratitude for cooperation, expression of regard and respect for a business partner, or demonstration of openness to future cooperation. However, corporate hospitality need not always be a step toward the other's unsecured space, but on the contrary, the effort to pre-ensure that space, and gain an advantage. Such hospitality can bind or even manipulate a business partner, with the goal of getting a job, insuring co-operation, or facilitating a way to profit.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Stock Market Performance: CSR Impact After the Financial Crisis and the Role of Primary CSR Activities
Pinteková, Aneta ; Kukačka, Jiří (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Martin (referee)
This thesis analyses the relationship between corporate social responsibility and com- panies' stock market performance in the post-financial crisis period. A new measure of social responsibility is used, called Thomson Reuters Environmental, Social, Governance, and Controversies Score. The results of the Fixed Effects regression show a significant, positive impact of the Score on the financial results of companies. Socially responsible activities are further divided into those closely related to the specific type of business of examined companies, called primary, and into those that are not dir- ectly related to the companies' business core, called secondary. Such distinction has not yet been made in the academic literature. Empirical results suggest that if companies aim at increasing their share prices also via the corporate social responsibility channel, they are encouraged to select their socially responsible initiatives strategically. The im- pact of the primary responsible activities on the corporate stock market performance is significantly positive, while the secondary responsible activities do not affect the financial results substantially. JEL Classification: A130, G110 Keywords: corporate social responsibility, CSR, business ethics, stock market perform- ance, fixed effects
