• The culture of a nation encompasses the set of norms, behaviors, beliefs, and customs that exist within its population.  National culture has specific characteristics such as language, religion, ethnic and racial identity, history, and traditions. National culture influences family life, education, economic and political structures, and, of course, business practices.
  The Czech nation possesses a distinctive culture.  Their unique geographical position in the heart of Europe has invited influences from far and wide.  While speaking a Slavic language, the Czechs have been party to western European political, economic, and social trends
