Title

Exploring the Development of Organisational and Management Structures in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands


Abstract

The paper aimed to examine the changing organisational and management structures in Czech and Dutch companies, emphasising the importance of adaptability and resilience today. The research methods used in the study used a strong comparative approach to analyse the detailed differences and statistical significance between the organisational and management frameworks of these two locations, utilising Chi-Square and ANOVA One-Way analyses. This analytical method enables us to accurately measure the frequency and effects of different management approaches, establishing a solid statistical foundation for our comparison analysis. The research shows a clear shift towards using agile and hybrid models in these companies, emphasising these structures' vital role in improving operational flexibility and market adaptability. This transition is not just a reaction to present market forces but a deliberate repositioning to safeguard companies against global economic risks in the future. The study has consequences that go beyond regional borders and provide significant insights for businesses globally. The study's results demonstrate how agile and hybrid frameworks can effectively promote resilience and responsiveness in businesses facing rapid change and global market challenges. This study emphasises the importance of strategic adaptation for modern corporate performance and offers a guide for companies aiming to navigate today's complex economic environment. This study adds to the overall discussion on organisational strategy by providing practical insights for companies seeking to stay competitive in a constantly changing environment.
