Originální abstrakt

This paper contributes to our knowledge in the area of international management and presents perceptions of future managers (university students of business and management). The main aim of the empirical research was to map the language proficiency as a key part of their managerial competence among students of business and management in the Czech Republic. The main questions addressed in our research were that English is used as the lingua franca on the labour market and due to a growing involvement of foreign companies in various regions of Europe, the demand for other European languages in connection with intercultural competence has been increasing on the European labour market. The processes of internationalization and globalization thus unequivocally require multilingualism, and this criterion is ever more important in decisions on HR issues. This trend clearly puts employees who speak several European languages at an advantage.
