Abstrakt
The main purpose of the present paper is to identify the factor structure of
managerial approaches. Based on a survey performed in 241 Czech companies from
various sectors (e.g. mechanical engineering, construction and consumer industry) we
identify six factors underlying managerial practices in these companies: Strategic
management, Leadership, Partners and customers, Human resources, Process
management, and Knowledge and innovation. Therefore, the empirical factor structure
is partially different from the theoretical five-dimensional structure assumed in the
widespread EFQM model. The present paper thus improves our understanding of the
interrelations among various aspects of management in Czech companies. This better
understanding can in turn lead to more informed implementation of total quality
management in the firms. Understanding the structure of managerial approaches
typical for Czech companies can also contribute to smoother transitions when foreign
managers are appointed to run Czech firms (because the structure of managerial
approaches is culture-dependent, as has been shown by former research).
