Komparace manažerských přístupů mezi českými a zahraničními vedoucími pracovníky

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the comparison of approaches between Czech and foreign managers in Škoda Auto a.s. and SEAT S.A. The aim is to identify differences and similarities in leadership style, communication, trust-building, employee autonomy, and innovation in a multicultural environment. The theoretical part defines key concepts from the fields of management, leadership, and organizational and national culture. The practical part is based on a secondary analysis of the internal Cultural Mindset Index survey in Škoda Auto a.s. and eight semi-structured interviews with managers from both companies. The results show differences in the level of informality, responsibility delegation, approach to risk, and horizontal collaboration. The findings also confirm that the differences are not determined solely by national culture, but also by the corporate environment and the group framework. The thesis proposes recommendations for more effective collaboration in the multicultural environment of Škoda Auto a.s.
