Česko-japonské kulturní standardy v pracovním prostředí

The bachelor thesis on Czech-Japanese cultural standards in the work environment analyses the intercultural differences between the Czech Republic and Japan. The main objective of the bachelor thesis is to identify Czech-Japanese cultural standards in the work environment and then, based on secondary and primary data, to formulate recommendations for Czechs who will work with their Japanese counterparts. A secondary objective is to identify key differences that may cause misunderstandings or conflicts in Czech-Japanese work cooperation. Oftentimes, the problems to be addressed are the same, but the approaches to solving them differ depending on the culture. This is not the only reason why an understanding of cultural differences is essential. Primary data is obtained through in-depth interviews with twelve Czech respondents who have worked with Japanese colleagues for at least six months. In order to fulfil the main and sub-objectives of the thesis, the information obtained from the interviews is compared with theoretical findings from secondary sources. Finally, the findings are summarized, evaluated and based on the results, recommendations for Czechs when interacting with Japanese in the work environment are proposed.
