The study analyzes the participation of Czechoslovakian exhibitors at important Soviet commerce exhibitions and trade fairs during the years of the First Republic of Czechoslovakia. It further focuses on the endeavours and initiatives of Czechoslovakian companies to exhibit at distant Soviet Union markets and it does not leave out the motives that led the Soviets to acquire exhibitors from the ranks of foreign companies. A sufficient amount of complete pieces of information was often decisive with regard to participation at trade fairs. That is why the study also analyzes the origin, amount and content of information that companies acquired about Soviet exhibitions and also the activities they carried out during the acquisition of relevant information. In some cases, the time delay that occurred during the conveyance of relevant information from Moscow to individual companies was also decisive.

In summer 1936, a six-member delegation was sent to the USSR to collect rubber from rubber trees. Although the Czechoslovak Agricultural Academy was the official promoter, it was the Bata Company, which initialised and sponsored the delegation. An impulse to the mission stemmed from growing prices of raw rubber on the world market. The project continuously followed the existing study programmes of the Bata Company on the Soviet territory. The content of the programmes demonstrates opinions, which the Bata management cherished about the Soviet Union and its science. After the first familiarisation with the problem and procuring the necessary documents in Moscow offices, the delegation spent the longest part of their four-week long stay in the Caucasus, where most of the cultivating and productive farms were located. In their paper, the members of the delegation concentrated on the description of alternative rubber-yielding plants, in particular the Kok-saghyz (Taraxacum Kok-saghyz Rodin), which was suitable for naturalising in the Czechoslovak conditions. They also described physical and geographical aspects of the countryside, condition of the farm building and apartments, personality traits of supervisors and social conditions of the peasants. They criticised the quality of services. During their stay, the delegation recorded several interesting societal, political and economical contexts. When they returned, their findings were published in special and popular educational forms. For several following years, botanical findings of the Kok-saghyz were experimentally tested on the Zlin experimental grounds, before unprofitability of industrial production was proved.

Selected topics related to the mass transfers of Bata staff in the years 1938-1941 are analyzed in the study and the transfer motives are discussed. Attention is particularly paid to the preferred destinations and, in relation to the transferees, also to some of the selection criteria applied (education level, knowledge of languages, etc.). In order to better judge Bata's business preferences the above features are put into context with the most important chronological milestones in Czechoslovakia's and, in general, Europe's history. The narrow analytical scope of the study is complemented in the closing part by a confrontation of the findings obtained with the current theoretical migration concepts. Thus, the Bata transfers are integrated in a general (wider) spectrum of the migration movements of population.

The author deals with Bata Group's policy of dispatching large groups of staff abroad in the years 1938-1941, while considering some disciplinary practices of the discourse (batism) and the creation of standard employee identity. First, the structure of competence fields is explained and their main representatives are shown who co-decided on the selection of candidates and on the schedule of their transfer. Then, the most important criteria of candidate selection are discussed. The selection was also influenced by a number of other factors that determined the eventual form, program and destination of the transfer. The internal factors analyzed in the study include, in particular, the criterion of nationality or, more generally, of language (discourse of nationalism), while the most important external factors referred to immigration regulations and the capacity of means of transport. Last but not least, the motivation of staff members and their chance to have a say are explained.
