This bachelor thesis is well structured and consistent. Some graphical layout enhancements (more graphs and figures) would help the reader´s concentration. The novelty and relevance correspond with this type of writing. The goal of the thesis is evident and adequately accomplished. There are “new” findings presented in the SWOT analysis, which is not appropriate. The practical part of the thesis is a little confusingly called „results and discussion“. There is above average level of linguistics and terminology that I appreciate. All in all, I recommend this thesis for defence and suggest the following discussion questions:
1) The author recommends “improvement of cash flow management“ (p. 52). What steps could lead to this recommendation?
Is “the negotiating with suppliers to come to an agreement for a longer credit terms” sufficient?
2) What other tools can be applied in assessing the financial stability of the company?
