The present article analyzes the meanings of modern corporate sports and their role in corporate cultures, in view of the fact that the corporate sports are increasingly considered among contributors to the competitiveness building and business success policies. The authors give the substantiation for this concept being applied to every corporate sport event, sport competitions of departments, branches and other operations inside the company, plus the inter-sector events including participants from government agencies and mass media organizations.
Corporate sports are interpreted in the given article as the integral part of a corporate culture with the relevant relationship system, corporate conduct rules, popular sport/ cultural values and competitive spirit and success motivations; with the sport trainings designed to cultivate the teamwork and team spirit, establish informal contacts, improve loyalty to and trust in the company management and thereby form a positive corporate image on the whole.
