Added Value of Diversity for Successful Management of Smart Business Organizations
摘要
Globalisation is dramatically changing the world and the way we look at it. It is a twenty-first century effect with which intercultural diversity is associated. In this bachelor’s thesis, I examine culture and diversity in the workplace in a selected business company. This issue is currently being addressed by companies that operate internationally, at the same time as it is being addressed by companies that employ diverse employees. The intermingling of different cultures and ethnicities is a consequence of globalisation, whereby different employees work together in companies. I have chosen this topic as I am studying international management. At the same time, after my work experience, I have come to the conclusion that this topic is very relevant for Slovakia and also for the company where I am employed. In Slovakia, the Diversity Charter Foundation for Slovakia was established in the last decade, which offers companies the opportunity to get involved in the idea of equal opportunities for all. In recent years, opportunities have been created in Slovakia to promote diversity in the workplace, but we are still lagging behind the more advanced countries of Western Europe in certain areas. We focused on an international company where we conducted a survey, using a questionnaire and my observations from work. In developing this thesis, I have used literature, internet sources and also information provided by the company and from specific establishments that were willing to participate in the survey.
