Managers elected by labour (labour power remains strong) • Main Challenges o Integration vs. domination o ‘Change in mindsets and attitudes’, a merger of German and Czech management o Create a new culture o Defining job roles and responsibilities (especially for managers, these have to be empowered and liable) o Accompanying the workforce in an economic and cultural change 2.
