CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS AN ELEMENT OF STRATEGY OF INSURANCE COMPANIES

Cilj ovog rada je da se analizira odnos između društveno odgovornog poslovanja (DOP) osiguravajućih društava i njihovog tržišnog učešća. Glavna ideja ovog istraživanja jeste da ukaže na to da aktivnosti usmerene na primenu DOP treba posmatrati kao investiciju, a ne kao trošak. Osiguranje se zasniva na poverenju, a poverenje se uglavnom gradi društveno odgovornim poslovanjem. Efikasna primena društveno odgovornog poslovanja ključan je instrument za postizanje konkurentske prednosti u delatnosti osiguranja, s obzirom na to da omogućava razvoj pozitivne svesti o određenom osiguravajućem društvu. Istraživanje je zasnovano na javno dostupnim podacima o 16 osiguravajućih društava koja posluju na srpskom tržištu osiguranja. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to da su osiguravajuća društva koja su integrisala DOP u svoju strategiju i primenjuju načela održivog poslovanja uočena kao društveno odgovorna od strane sadašnjih i potencijalnih osiguranika i drugih zainteresovanih strana, što rezultira povećanjem premije osiguranja i tržišnog učešća. Ključne reči: osiguranje, preduzeće, društvena odgovornost, strategija JEL klasifikacija: G22

Nastala je kao rezultat njegovog nastojanja da se potvrde utemeljene teorijske postavke da osiguranje pozitivno utiče na preduzetništvo, a analiziran je i povratni uticaj preduzetništva na osiguranje, kao i zajednički uticaj na ekonomski rast.

PRODUCT LIABILITY RISK MANAGEMENT AND THE ROLE OF INSURANCE

Liability insurance, as a part of nonlife insurance, has a special role in developed economies. In the area of product liability, risk management as well as insurance emerged relatively recently. The reason lies in the fact that the very existence of this risk has been neglected for a long time. However, in developed economies, first in the USA then in Europe and Japan, more and more attention is being drawn to this risk and to the issue of consumer protection. Despite the underdevelopment of this type of risk management and insurance in Serbia, we think that placing focus on both global and European trends in this area is important. The paper presents two EU Directives related to this area, the available forms of product liability risk protection and characteristics of insurance coverage for this type of risk.
