The thesis' major goal is to identify important factors and key aspects of cultural differences and management work in a diverse environment for managers. The partial goal is the identification of the obstacles and barriers managers need to face and overcome in a multicultural environment. The goals are achieved using qualitative research in the form of individual online interviews with co-owners, managers, and employees of a selected company. The qualitative research method of qualitative interviews (primary data) was used to obtain data for this bachelor thesis.

In my diploma thesis I deal with intercultural competencies, which are a relatively new phenomenon. It started to evolve on the grounds of the influence of globalization and internacionalization. I have made an overview of the changing life of organizations, especially in the area of Human Resource Management, which grows into international extent. I have considered the reasons leading to the growth of the (significant) needs of interculturally educated employees. Recent development of social, political and economical reality indicate the fact, that this need will be more and more urgent in the future. Because of the reducing importance of borders between nations and among economics the contact among members of different cultures in personal and work life is still more frequent and intensive. In the order to be efficient in cooperation with individuals from different cultural environment it is necessary to understand each other, capture the way of partner's thinking and behavior, forbearance and knowledge of cultural specifics. Training focused on development of intercultural competencies is thus an inevitable requirement of employee's preparation to long-term residence abroad and its completion is the precondition of smooth course of adaptation in a foreign country.

Slavický, Marek ; Tureckiová, Michaela (advisor) ; Kopecký, Martin (referee)
Nowadays, virtual teams are a new and a rapidly growing phenomenon within our globalizing world. Their number and effectivity quickly increases thanks to the quality of accessible technology. From the theoretical aspect, virtual teams are just being analyzed and processed, and given the recency and constant changes, they are not yet clearly understood and interpreted. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to outline basic characteristics of virtual teams and their differences from conventional work teams and focus on the issue of virtual team management. Therefore, I will further analyze the key factors to virtual team functioning, among which we can include modern communication technologies, the issue of communication over distance and trust. I will also describe strongly dispersed virtual teams, which must deal with multiculturality and other concerns associated with distinct cultural values of individual team members. The last chapter will cover conflict resolution, which is a key point especially within the topic of virtual teams.
