Teorie správy společností neziskových organizací (na příkladu zdravotnických zařízení České republiky)

Abstract

The dissertation thesis "The Theory of Corporate Governance of Non-Profit Organizations" (on the example of the Czech hospitals)" deals with the development of the theory of corporate governance within non-profit organizations. The main goal of the study was to contribute theories and methodologies of corporate governance within non-profit organizations with a focus on hospitals. The hospitals were chosen among medical facilities because they have different ownership structure, legal form and financing. Czech corporate governance practice within non-profit hospitals is analyzed in detail in this dissertation thesis. Based on the analyse of 192 hospitals existing in the Czech Republic, 78 non-for-profit hospitals were determined. The non-profit hospitals were further separated into eight groups, according to founder and legal form. The main characteristics of corporate governance such are ownership, board structure and the shareholders theory are examined within eight defined groups. A model of corporate governance valid for the Czech health care service sector was developed. The results of empirical research are stated in the conclusion of the thesis.
