Comments and Questions:
The thesis focuses on the importance of company culture to the business results and the company’s employees’ performance. The author assumes that that company culture is vital for the success of
a company, and that company culture is an unsubstantial matter. Based on her own research and practical examples of the company Mercedes-Benz Parts Logistics Eastern Europe s.r.o. the author comes to the conclusion that the company culture of MBPLEE incorporates all important aspects of company culture, and employees are aware of its benefits which further motivates them to contribute to it. The work has a clearly defined goal, a logical structure, contains an analytical part, and formulates its own author’s conclusions. It confirms the author ’s ability to apply theoretical knowledge acquired by studying at VŠE on a concrete example from practice. The author showed deep knowledge of the issue, used adequate methods of processing, and found new circumstances that bring creative contribution to the solution given issues. She worked independently and used all relevant and available resources that were available at a given time. Formally, it meets all the requirements set by the relevant regulations. Therefore,
I recommend the work for the defense before the relevant evaluation committee. Questions: 1. Is the MBPLEE corporate culture perceived equally by young and old generations or do you see some
differences? 2. How far the corporate culture of MBPLEE is different from the global corporate culture of the parent Daimler AG?
Conclusion: The Bachelor Thesis is recommended for the defence.
