Kulturní specifika Asie

The diploma thesis contains a general overview of cultures throughout Asia and their common and different features. The main aim of the thesis is to create a complex view of Asian culture and to find common features for defined groups of states. In the first part of my thesis I deal with a theory that is necessary to know for cultural distinction. I define types of communication, dimensions of Geert Hofstede, Fons Trompenaars and Edward T. Hall here. In the practical part I deal directly with Asia, its history, geography, demographics and other necessary themes that have an impact on the formation of culture. Here, I also apply Geert Hofstede's dimensions to individual countries and I write also about business culture in Asia. In the empirical part, I analyze results of my research, which was conducted in a structured interview with Asian-born people or non-Asian people who often come into contact with Asian people.
