Máme se co učit od Hispánců?: Rozdíly v národní a pracovní kultuře Česka a Latinské Ameriky pohledem cizinek z vybraných zemí

This thesis reports on interviews with 12 female Latin American foreigners (24-56 years) who are living and working in the Czech Republic. The purpose of the study was to investigate differences between the Czechs and the Latin Americans perceived in private life as well as at work. Five countries were involved in the study: Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru and Chile. Thematic analysis was used for the appraisal of the data. The biggest discovered differences were: the Czechs are perceived as more withdrawn, individualistic and less emotional. They tend to communicate more directly and make plans more than Latinos. In the business field, Latinos tend to focus on relationships more than on the achievement and they cooperate more than the Czechs. These are the final recommendations for the Czechs who are negotiating or working with Latinos: to be flexible, to count with a long-standing negotiating process, to adapt to the diplomatic way of communication.
