Postavení Finska v mezinárodním obchodě a jeho proexportní politika

This diploma thesis deals with the position of Finland in international trade with an emphasis on a detailed analysis of Finnish export and its specialities, together with the role of the state in pro-export policy focused on supporting export companies. The paper is complemented by a cultural perspective into national specificities that can bring light to areas that are affected by these cultural differences. The paper identifies weaknesses in the process of export assistance towards the Finnish companies proposing concrete steps for improvement. The minor goal is to support or refuse the cultural claims published by G. Hofstede and F. Trompenaars. All theoretical information is then investigated with own research, whether questionnaire research or in-depth interviews. On the basis of this, the work brings a deeper insight into the area under examination, along with the detailed spheres of Finnish reality, and based on the questionnaire survey, opportunities to improve existing processes are identified.
