Leadership in multinational organization: China and Ukraine

Abstract

The processes of production internationalization and globalization of markets have led to the need to study problems in personnel management, characterized by cultural and national contradictions. During periods of unstable development of the world economy, the problem of leadership in personnel management at the intersection of different cultures becomes especially acute. A leader needs to assess cultural characteristics and needs of his subordinates in order to meet their expectations, and qualitatively assess the characteristics of his national leadership style to manage effectively multicultural personnel in a company. This study analyzes and compares two national leadership styles: Chinese and Ukrainian.
