The dissertation thesis deals with the role of the largest nationally Czech bank, Živnostenská (Trade) bank in Prague, in the process of industrialization of the Czech lands in the years 1869- 1914. The issue is viewed through the bank's promotional activity, i.e. the bank's activities in establishing new companies or transforming existing ones into another legal form - most often a joint-stock company. Subsequently, the relationship of the bank to these firms is analysed. The thesis also notes Živnobanka's action in the cartelization of Cisleithanian industry and provides insights for the debate on the power relationship between banks and industry. It also attempts to answer the question to what extent economic nationalism influenced the business of Živnobanka. Keywords: Živnostenská (Trade) bank, industrialization, bank-industry relationship, joint stock companies, cartelization, economic nationalism, Czech lands
