Businessmen from the Czech Republic as well as those from all over the world face Chinese counterparts more and more often.

This work mainly focuses on fundamental cultural determinants which influence the Chinese business behaviour. The goal of this thesis is to identify the core cultural factors which might cause misunderstandings or even conflicts in cooperation within any Czech-Chinese business negotiation.
