Master's thesis

Abstract:

The thesis deals with the issues associated with management in multinational corporations and the application of different management styles. The practical part of the thesis analyzes the case studies of the Czech branches of two major global oil-and-gas corporations, namely ExxonMobil and BP. The findings of the thesis prove that there are slight differences in the two companies’ style of management in the Czech Republic, which is due to different nationalities of managers. However, both companies are able to achieve steadily high results thanks to their democratic approach to management and the provision of extensive opportunities of self-fulfillment for employees. Based on the findings of the thesis, the companies are recommended to focus on improving internal communication and extending the range of non-financial motivation means for making internal management more effective.
