Tato práce odpovídá na otázky, proč vznikly nadnárodní společnosti a proč se jim tak daří. Základní teorie vzniku a chování nadnárodních společností v souvislosti se změnami globálního ekonomického prostředí vysvětlují motivy investic v zahraničí. Konkurenční výhody nadnárodních společností oproti národním podnikům spočívají v jejich know-how, možnosti podnikat ve více zemích a v jejich ekonomické síle. Tato práce dále uvádí, jaké jsou možnosti regulace činnosti nadnárodních společností tak, aby byly minimalizovány negativní aspekty a zdůrazněny pozitivní aspekty jejich působení.

Společenská odpovědnost firem jako nový faktor firemní konkurenceschopnosti
Bolfíková, Petra ; Zeman, Jiří (advisor) ; Filipová, Alena (referee)
Společenská odpovědnost firem (CSR) je pojem v posledních letech hodně populární, ačkoliv ne úplně nový. Spousta - především velkých, multinacionálních firem - byla donucena chovat se odpovědně ke své společnosti a ne ji využívat. Tlak především veřejnosti a spotřebitelů pomocí jejich kupní síly jim v podstatě nedal jinou možnost, pokud tyto firmy chtěly přežít i do budoucnosti. Společenská odpovědnost firem se dá využít ale i obráceně ? jako prevence a výhoda firmy. Nejenže CSR prospívá životnímu prostředí a společnosti jako takové, ale i firmě samotné tento koncept přináší spoustu výhod ? od snížení nákladů úsporou energie a odpadů, přes udržení a snadnější získávání kvalitních zaměstnanců až po snížení nákladů na risk management a zlepšení reputace. Ačkoliv se může zdát, že CSR je pouze pro velké firmy, opak je pravdou. Malé a střední podniky mají ke svému okolí daleko blíž než jejich větší protějšky a často už nějaké aktivity v rámci CSR provádějí, aniž by o tom věděly. Co těmto malým a středním podnikům chybí je strategie implementující CSR do každodenních činností firmy a prostupující celou firmu od nejvyššího vedení až po nejníže postavené pracovníky. Problémem je také malá komunikace CSR s okolím, časté příliš úzké chápání CSR jako pouhé firemní dárcovství a její zaměňování s marketingovým nástrojem a PR.

Clustering as a Tool of Competitiveness, the Case of the Czech Republic
Daumová, Dora ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
This paper deals with the issue of clusters as relatively new tools of competitiveness in economies and examines their linkage to state through cluster policies and initiatives. At the beginning, a theoretical development of the concept is presented. Afterwards, the cluster concept as such is introduced, putting down a wide scale of supportive rationales, presenting also possible risks and explaining a linkage to innovation and competitiveness. The second part of the thesis treats the issue of cluster policies as possible means of a cluster creation. Aside from examining cluster policies in different views, an emphasis is put on the justification of the role of state which can take part as either contributive or disturbing factor. The empirical part of the paper presents the case of the Czech clustering. Firstly, the Czech cluster policy is analyzed concerning its targets, instruments, approaches and other relevant issues, focusing on shortcomings and problems of the policy. Further, a case study of the Moravian-Silesian automotive cluster is presented. In this part, the particular cluster is observed with a view to its origin, development and activities. The endeavor is to compare the case with the classical Porter model and find out its inadequacies.
