This article will examine whether the Visegrad Group countries (V4) are moving closer together or further apart in this COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve that, the respective COVID-19 measures taken by governments in March and April 2020 in the V4 countries will be analysed using the VUCA model. VUCA is an acronym, and it includes four English terms: volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Using the VUCA model, a Framework of VUCA Factors has been created in this article, which can be used as a basic model to further identify innovative leadership strategies during pandemic situations.(original abstract)

W niniejszym artykule zostanie zbadane, czy kraje Grupy Wyszehradzkiej (V4) zbliżają się do siebie czy oddalają w pandemii COVID-19. W tym celu, za pomocą modelu VUCA, zostaną przeanalizowane odpowiednie środki zastosowane przez władze przeciwko COVID-19 w marcu i kwietniu 2020 roku w krajach V4. VUCA jest akronimem i oznacza cztery angielskie terminy: volatility (zmienność), uncertainty (niepewność), complexity (złożoność) i ambiguity (niejednoznaczność). Wykorzystując model VUCA, w artykule stworzono ramy czynników VUCA, które mogą być wykorzystane jako bazowy model do dalszej identyfikacji innowacyjnych strategii przywództwa w sytuacjach pandemicznych.(abstrakt oryginalny)
