It aims to highlight that differences in behavioural patterns between cultural groups are seen as indices of broader aspects of behavioural or psychological functioning. Culture is conceptualised as a set of constructed psychological meanings (internal culture) and as a set of external conditions within which humans develop and act (external culture). Furthermore, it claims that there are common psychological processes in all human beings, and that cultures shape the development and expression of these underlying features.

Hodnoty novej podnikateľskej triedy sa stali hodnotami neoliberalneho Irska, formovaneho podnikateľskou kulturou vytvorenou z postojov, hodnot a noriem, služiacich potrebam trhu, ktore su podporovane vladnymi organmi. Na rozdiel od nacionalistickeho Irska avsak tieto hodnoty obsahuju slabý princip socialnej integracie, pretože služia potrebam malej casti populacie. Samotný hospodarsky rast este nerobi spolocnosť uspesnou. Treba podporovať materialne zaujmy so zabezpecenou a sudržnou identitou a pestovať zmysel pre spolupatricnosť.

Contemporary financial markets only trade electronic securities held in securities accounts. Securities law enhances adjustments to economic realities and not to legal principles. Discrepancies between economic realities and securities regulation should be resolved in order to find a balance between successfully functioning transactions of electronic securities and legal schemes which are based on transfers of physically existing assets, which include securities, as a result of the theory of incorporations, in certain legal regulations. This article is a theoretical and legal reflection on selected issues connected with the transfer of securities with reference to discrepancies between economic realities and legal regulations.

Their identification in ICT implementation in businesses facilitates the decision-making of services industries for such information technologies which allow businesses to differentiate their services from competitors and increase productivity. Therefore is important to identify the core activities of companies in relation to the nature of the production of services sectors, corporate strategies and services specifics.

We used descriptive statistical methods to analyze the data. The reason was that such methods allow us to better understand the correlation between the results obtained in traditional testing and online testing. The research was conducted in the summer semester of the academic years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. 2508 students of the University of Economics in Bratislava participated in the research. The respondents were first-year Bachelor's degree students at the University of Economics in Bratislava whose first foreign language was professional English. When analyzing the data we took into account the test results, the number of students who did not take the test, the number of students who had to retake the test, and the number of students who did not take the test. The results confirmed that students who took the test in the home envi...

All intercultural encounters incorporate communication between individuals who, rather than belonging to only one culture, belong to a diverse array of different cultures at the same time. They share some of these cultures with the people they are talking to, and some of them they do not. And some of these cultural variations and affinities will influence the way they communicate, and some of them will be totally insignificant.

Testing took place through the moodle platform, where we used e-test, during the first and second waves of the pandemic. The main aim of the research was to find out what impact the environment in which the testing takes place has on the test results, i.e. in which environment students achieved better results. Printed tests were used for on-site testing. The on-site testing took place in the academic years 2018/2019 (summer term) and 2019/2020 (winter term). The online testing took place in the academic years 2019/2020 (summer term) and 2020/2021 (winter term). We compared the results of the testing, which took place in person at the university, with the results that the students achieved during the online testing. In the research of testing, we used the method of quantitative analysis and descriptive statistics, which allow us to better understand th...

The main issues examined include the enigmatic character of Irish developmental delay after independence; the economic, social and cultural backwardness of Ireland until the early 1990s; and the deterioration in Irish prospects that occurred in the course of 2008.

Due to the migration situation in 2015, Slovak politicians have also begun to use the topic of migration to mobilise their voters. Paradoxically, there are no significant differences among the relevant Slovak political parties on this topic, hence Slovak politicians take a similar approach to the issue of migration. This article focuses on the People's Party Our Slovakia as a leading representative of far-right populism. We intend to explore how Slovak far-right populists articulate the issue of international migration. Our analysis has found that the language of far-right populists reflects a dichotomy of “we/us” (good) vs. “they/them” (evil). Far-right populists emphasise the negative consequences of migration, as they perceive migrants as a threat to national security. In-depth analyses of political texts have revealed that the se...

Hangsúlyozza az alapvető tendenciákat képviselő univerzális személyiségjegyek kulturális stabilitását. Ugyanakkor azt is kiemeli, hogy a kultúra jelentős befolyást gyakorol a személyiség fejlődésére és kifejezésmódjára.

It attempts to present the partial results of a questionnaire survey whose goal was to determine the quality of HRM (Human Resource Management) departments in basic agricultural enterprises. Studies focusing on the HRM of basic agricultural enterprises have been published in many countries. In the Slovak Republic, experts and academics from the Slovak University of Technology in Nitra, and the Slovak Research Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics have arrived at perceptive conclusions on the current state of human capital in the agri-food sector and have proposed innovative directions for further development. Surprisingly, however, academia still fails to perceive HR management as a partner in an enterprise, rather than simply a service unit in the organisational structure of the agricultural enterprise. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of the role of HRM department...

Subsequent progress could indicate whether declared clusters of tourism lead to competitiveness, innovation, research and growth or rather pursue those activities which are typical of destination management organisations.
