The Importance of Sustainable Development: Perception of Corporate Social Responsibility and its Impact on Czech Consumers' Purchase Behaviour. / Důležitost Udržitelného Rozvoje: Vnímání Společenské Odpovědnosti a její Dopad na Nákupní Chování Českých Spotřebitelů

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been receiving a considerable attention from researchers in recent years, especially with regard to consumers' perception. This thesis is exploring perception of corporate social responsibility among Czech consumers and aims to discover whether or not it has an impact on them while purchase decision making. Czech consumers appear to have an interest in CSR but they are generally little informed about organizational CSR activities. Moreover, findings showed that low awareness and trust determine high scepticism among Czech consumers towards CSR activities. Eventually, even though Czech consumers generally wish to support socially responsible organizations, they perceive CSR as rather peripheral factor of purchase since they prioritize traditional purchase factor such as price and quality.
