BOSZCZYKOVÁ, Iva
This master thesis examines challenges of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration using the example of Christian non-profit organization - Křesťanská Akademie Mladých (KAM).

Subsequently, a qualitative content analysis was used to evaluate the data, which led to conclusion that one of the biggest challenges for the American staff of this organization is the Czech language. In terms of longevity, quality of work and life in the Czech Republic, it is extremely important to learn the Czech language.
