Česko-vietnamské kulturní standardy ve formálních vztazích

This thesis focuses on analyzing cultural differences between the Czech Republic and Vietnam and examines their impact on leadership styles, team collaboration, and conflict resolution in managerial practice. The aim of the thesis is to identify key cultural factors that influence interactions between Czech and Vietnamese managers and team members, and to formulate recommendations for effective leadership in mixed cultural work environments. The theoretical part draws on major concepts in intercultural management, particularly the models of Hofstede, Trompenaars, Hall, Schwartz, Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck, as well as the GLOBE project and Thomas’s cultural standards method. Attention is also given to modern leadership theories, including transformational, transactional, situational and emotionally intelligent leadership. A comparison of the Czech and Vietnamese contexts reveals significant differences in hierarchy, communication, participation and decision-making processes, shaped by the cultural values of both countries. Based on the synthesis of theoretical insights, the thesis provides recommendations for Czech managers leading Vietnamese teams and for Vietnamese managers working within the Czech environment, with the aim of enhancing effective cooperation, preventing intercultural misunderstandings and improving organizational outcomes.
