Dear Colleagues,

Cultural management processes are a promising direction of research because of the many aspects of this issue that exist in organizational life. Organizational culture has a special place in the discourse of management sciences. The multiplicity of views on its deterministic role in the humanistic, social, and psychological conditions of the organization results in new concepts regarding its role in various management contexts, starting from the first analyses of work processes, through research of organizational culture, and ending with all cultural trends in contemporary management. Its dilemmas are resolved in the area of many scientific disciplines. It has its place in the theory of culture, and it is the subject of management studies in the theoretical, methodological, and pragmatic aspect. Intercultural management, which comes from comparative studies, is also still a promising field. Today, however, it brings many interesting directions related to the diagnosis: social capital (sociology), potential and threats resulting from cultural circles (anthropology), integration processes (international relations), competitiveness (economy), work ergonomics (psychology), and even such issues as managing emotions, potential, and talent in intercultural organizations. Therefore, the interdisciplinary possibilities of cultural management studies bring a lot of inspiration to researchers from various fields. This also applies to sustainable development—in the context of social aspects of organizational culture, and the impact of culture on the economic processes of organizing and ecological attitudes that are manifested in cultural management processes.

In this specific research context, this Special Issue on “Organizational Culture and Intercultural Management” is collecting texts which would be covering the following topics: Psychological and social influences on cultural management processes; the issues of intercultural management in the context of various organizations, international cooperation, integration, and globalization; the role of the transformation of the form of work into a remote system in the context of contemporary challenges (e.g., a pandemic); the place of public or private organizations in a changing economic, social, and cultural environment; managing values, knowledge, and innovation in the context of modern organizations; the role of culture, including processes of virtualization, digitization, and visualization in an environment of organizational changes.
