Sažetak
The current pandemic situation has forced organisations to adapt
quickly and change processes through digital transformation.
Businesses began to interact with consumers online and generally
had to adjust existing processes and develop or improve the products
and services offered. The agile transformation as part of Industry
4.0 started several years ago and in the current situation can be considered
the best starting point for ongoing changes. The agile
approach is mostly used in the field of IT, where it has penetrated
mainly into software solutions and project management. Later, this
concept began to penetrate deeper into several areas of the organisation,
today we can talk about the company-wide transformation
into an agile platform. While agility was initially perceived as a benefit,
especially for software solutions, today it helps in successful business
mainly by penetrating the organisational culture in which
organisations define the desired values, ideas and procedures of
employee behaviour in the organisation and is able to implement
agile management principles. In the presented article, we present
the results of research focussed on the analysis of the current state
of application of agile management methods in companies operating
in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The aim of this paper is to
identify the approach to building an agile culture as a basic prerequisite
for their effective implementation. The contribution of this
article to agile management research is to identify specific aspects of
agile culture that support agile management functioning. The size of
the examined sample and the comparison of the results between
the group of companies in the Slovak Republic and the Czech
Republic provide findings with a high degree of reliability.
