Entrepreneurship in the context of different national cultures
KOPECKÁ, Tereza
Each company has its set of values, norms and behavioural patterns that determine the manners of its employees, their relationships within the social structure of the organization, as well as the company?s public relations. The company culture influences the style of work of every employee in the firm and consequently their behaviour in the public. It reveals the way the entrepreneurs want to do their business and often shows how much or in what way they acknowledge social responsibility. Due to globalization, there are many multinational companies in our country. The theoretical part of the thesis thus focuses on the combination of company and national cultures at a workplace; furthermore it contains a summary of some of the main literature on the subject of company culture and intercultural management. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyze the company culture of a chosen international firm and to propose solutions for some improvements to the current situation in the company.

Printed newspapers and the Internet news and commentaries
MATUROVÁ, Markéta
The aim of this project is to contribute to the extending of the knowledge of intercultural communication. Since this area is very extensive we will deal only with the problems of intercultural communication in general and we will also cover its application in printed newspapers. One of the other project aims will be a detailed analysis which will show how intercultural communication is being reflected in today?s Czech daily newspapers ( Mladá fronta Dnes, Lidové noviny, Hospodářské noviny, Právo). Comparing with a different type of daily press (e.g. tabloids Blesk and left-oriented Haló noviny) could also be interesting. The language analysis of collected and sorted out material will form the basis of the thesis. The analysis will not comprise only the lexical means but I would also like to draw attention to the metaphorical phrasing (phrasemes) which represents very important part of journalistic style.
