Pojar, Vojtěch ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
This case study analyses the evolution of the Slavia - Mutual Insurance Company between 1869- 1918. It is a contribution to the Czech business history in the ‚long' nineteenth century. It follows the development of this enterprise and relates it to the development of insurance in the Hapsburg Empire. Firstly, the author reconstructs the process of its promotion and traces its preconditions. Secondly and most importantly, this study investigates the entrepreneurial strategy of this composite insurance company in the main insurance types, in relation to the investment of company's capital and to the business outside and inside of a cartel. Thirdly, the present study tracks the development of the social basis of the company on the level of its management with respect to its structure and its social networks as well as on the level of its clientele. More generally, this study examines the social and cultural prerequisites for the growth of insurance underwriting in the Czech society. The present study is based largely on interpretation of primary sources.
