Odpovídám na Váš inzerát uveřejněný v MF Dnes ze dne 9.září 2010, ve kterém inzerujete pozici
marketingového ředitele pro východní divizi. Po důkladném prostudování nabízené pozice jsem se
rozhodl o ni usilovat, neboť splňuje všechny parametry práce, kterou hledám, a na kterou, jak
dokládám v přiloženém životopise, mám potřebnou kvalifikaci i praxi.







V asijských zemích je kladen velký důraz na hierarchii a vyšší postavení. Není myslitelné, aby
podřízený zpochybnil rozhodnutí nadřízeného nebo se snažil jej měnit. Naopak v lineáních kulturách
je naprosto běžné, že zaměstnanci na několika úrovních o svých rozhodnutích diskutují a nebojí se
konfliktů.
