Comparison study of Innovation as a support of competitiveness in not for profit and corporate businesses, performed on practical examples of AIESEC Česká republika and PricewaterhouseCoopers Česká republika, s.r.o

This Bachelor's Thesis thoroughly analyses attitude to innovation of two significantly different subjects: not for profit organisation AIESEC in the Czech Republic and large corporation PricewaterhouseCoopers Czech Republic. Analysis focuses mainly on increasing of competitiveness via innovations and on revealing flaws, which, on the other hand, prevent the organisation from achieving bigger competitive advantage with the use of innovation. Consequently, the Thesis offers solutions on previously analysed flaws. These solutions, if applied, might help both organisations to set an effective approach to innovation as a tool of increasing competitiveness. Finally, the outputs of the analysis are generalised and related to both categories of studied subjects: corporations and not for profit organisations. Analysis is based on complex set of literature and considers both modern approach to strategy innovation management and classical views on innovation. The most important source of information for qualitative analysis of both subjects are in-depth interviews with managers, who are perceived as innovation leaders in each of the organisations.
