Benešová, Nela ; Müllerová, Františka (advisor) ; Plchová, Božena (referee)
Everyone, who wants to do trade with Greek traders, should find out, which are local business and cultural specifics. Habits are different in every state, therefore everyone should be well prepared, before the business begins, that any faux pas would happen. Business habits proceed from history, therefore I also mentioned it in my bachelor's thesis. Nevertheless, the trade also relates to state of economy of the land, therefore I analyzed nowadays political and economic situation in Greece. Negotiations of Greek businessmen are different from negotiations of Czech businessmen, but I did not find any crucial differences while comparing, which could prevent the Czech businessmen from concluding an agreement in Greece.

Czech-British and British-Czech Cultural Standards
Dufková, Gabriela ; Křečková Kroupová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Khelerová, Vladimíra (referee)
Despite a close geographical position to the Czech Republic, there are vast differences between the Czech and British cultures. Commonly after arriving in Britain, many Czech nationals experience a cultural shock and do not understand the behaviour of the British people. The same can be said about Britons arriving in the Czech Republic. This makes it important to understand the cultural differences to help both nationals interact successfully with one another. This Master thesis focuses on cultural standards, a concept made by Alexander Thomas. Therefore, this report aims to define the Czech-British and British-Czech cultural standards, whilst comparing them with the theory and then to apply them in a cultural-historic framework. This report will hypothesise that the defined cultural standards do not differ from the standards analysed within the book by Karel Čapek. Other hypothesis of this thesis is: Many Britons see Czech people as over-caring and anxious. In conclusion to this report, the author will provide recommendations to both Czech nationals travelling to Great Britain and also the same for British descendants arriving within the Czech Republic.

In the end, the work proposes recommendations for Czechs to facilitate cooperation with the French at school and at work.
