Effective A/B and Multivariate Testing in the Global Market Environment
Janů, Tomáš ; Gála, Libor (advisor) ; Seman, Vladimír (referee)
Thesis is focused on online content testing for the purpose of optimizing the performance of business and information channels in a global environment, i.e. where visitors come from different countries. This diversity causes different behavior of visitors, for example as the American perception of the content is entirely different from the Brazilian and French. Different perceptions and consumer behavior is caused by a different national culture in these countries. Therefore it is necessary or appropriate to test content for the purpose of optimizing on the local level. The simplest option is obviously to run the same test for each country separately. But that is extremely difficult in practice because of the duration of the test and human resources needed for test design, implementation, and evaluation. Therefore the aim of this thesis is to suggest modification of the general method used for testing the online content that will be sufficient for testing on the local level and will take cultural differences of each country into account, but yet also will be effective in terms of time and human resources consumption. Currently there isn't any publicly documented method which would cover this issue. The key of this modification is the segmentation of countries into groups based on similar national culture. Therefore the value of national culture has to be identified in some way and for this purpose it is possible to use model of the Dutch Professor Geert Hofstede, who identified six dimensions of national culture for each country and assigned them values. The benefit of this thesis is described modification of the testing method which is particularly suitable for companies operating on the global market or multiple markets simultaneously. This method, if it's used properly, is able to deliver growth of revenue while simultaneously reducing the consumption of human resources.

Chinese vs. Czech cultural specifics
Podhorecká, Denisa ; Odehnalová, Jitka (advisor) ; Vlková, Ivana (referee)
In today's world the flow of trade, which is flowing across borders, is still wider and deeper. This is why the importance of multinational companies is still growing. For the development of these corporations it is crucial to expand the clientele and establish new subsidiaries on untapped markets. This leads to a conflict of cultures that must be handled and we must gain the most benefits from it for our company. At the same time there is an increasing number of foreigners migrating to the Czech Republic for work. In my thesis, "The Chinese vs. Czech cultural specifics" I focused on one company operating on the Czech market as a distributor of Chinese products. In the company people from the Czech and Chinese culture encountered at one working place. My goal is to monitor the process of mutual adaptation of the Czechs and Chinese in the second culture and environment from two perspectives, the personal and corporate level. The secondary aim is also to find out what a trader needs to know before starting communication with the Chinese business partner. The result of this thesis can be used as a convenient source for further quantitative research. The knowledge gathered here includes valuable advice for traders, which is needed before cooperation with Chinese. Due to the great diversity of cultures and customs it is essential to become familiar with Chinese traditions and style of negotiating, what they consider to be positive, right or negative, which values they appreciate etc. before getting in touch with them.
