Zvláštnosti podnikatelského prostředí, obchodní a kulturní zvyklosti - Jamaica

In my bachelor thesis I focus on the analysis of corporate environment, cultural and business customs of Jamaica. I aim at the introduction of this small country to foreign investors in order to help them learn more about its market. My thesis is divided into four parts according to PEST analysis that describes four different sections of business environment. The first chapter involves the basic data about Jamaica including geography, history and population of the country. The second chapter takes into consideration the first part of PEST analysis - legal and political environment of Jamaica. The next section is deducated to the economy of Jamaica and the specific role of direct foreign investments. The core part of my thesis is represented by the fourth chapter that includes information about business etiquette, cultural and social manners, norms and values of Jamaican society analysed by G. Hofstede` s research. The last chapter describes technological environment and compares position of Jamaican research and development with other countries of the world.
