Napovedni dejavniki zadovoljstva strank z e-plačilnega sistema: študija primera štaba na Univerzi v Ilorin-u, Nigerija
No full textBackground and Purpose: Many organisations are using the e-payment system; however, its effectiveness has not been determined particularly in the Nigeria context. The University of Ilorin as educational organisation started using e-payment system in 2010 and up till now there has been limited or no study conducted to examine whether or not workers are satisfied with the new payment system together with other related ones they are familiar with. It is in the light of this that this study examined users’ satisfaction with the e-payment system at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A sample of 260 academic and non-academic staff was taken from six out 12 faculties that made up the university. Using a survey research approach data was collected with a modified questionnaire. Five research questions were developed to guide the study.
Results: The results revealed that, respondents (93.5%) were adequately satisfied, satisfied and moderately satisfied, while, only (6.5%) of the respondents were less satisfied and dissatisfied. Perceived speed was identified as the characteristics users mostly satisfied with, followed by system security, traceability, and convenience. Moreover, there is significant correlation among the entire e-payment characteristics/factors (perceived speed, security, anonymity, traceability, perceived ease of payment, and convenience); and that all the six factors jointly predict users’ satisfaction with the e-payment system. In order of magnitude of the prediction/contribution to e-payment, users’ satisfaction, perceived speed made the most significant prediction/contribution.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, the study concluded a considerable percentage of the respondents (93.5%) are satisfied with the e-payment system at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. In lieu of this therefore, there is need to improve the e-payment system so that all and sundry could be satisfied.Ozadje in namen: Številne organizacije uporabljajo e-plačilne sisteme; njihova učinkovitost pa je različna, še posebej, kadar so uporabljeni v različnih okoljih. Univerza v Ilorinu kot izobraževalna organizacija je začela uporabljati e-plačilni sistem v letu 2010 in do zdaj ni bila narejena nobena študija, ki bi preučila zadovoljstvo njegovih uporabnikov. Namen študije je proučiti zadovoljstvo uporabnikov z e-plačilnega sistema na Univerzi v Ilorinu.
Zasnova / Metodologija. Vzorec 260 akademskih in ne-akademskega delavcev smo izbrali med zaposlenimi šestih fakultet univerze. Podatki so bili zbrani s uporabo vprašalnika, ki je bil razvit prav v ta namen. Usmeritev študije je bila postavljena s petimi raziskovalnimi vprašanji.
Rezultati: Anketiranci so v 93,5% ustrezno zadovoljni, zadovoljni in zmerno zadovoljni, medtem ko je le (6,5%) vprašanih so bili manj zadovoljni in nezadovoljni. Uporabniki so bili najbolj zadovoljni z zaznano hitrostjo, sledijo varnost sistema, sledljivost in udobje. Obstaja visoka korelacija med celotno značilnostmi e-plačil (zaznava hitrost, varnost, anonimnost, sledljivost, zaznana enostavnost plačila, in priročnost); vseh šest dejavnikov skupaj napoveduje zadovoljstva uporabnikov sistema. Največ k zadovoljstvu uporabnikov prispeva zaznana hitrost.
Zaključek: Študija je ugotovila, da je velik odstotek anketirancev (93,5%) zadovoljnih z e-plačilnim sistemom. Mogoče pa ga je še izboljšati tako, in s tem še povečati delež zadovoljnih
Zaposljivost diplomantov zdravstvene nege
No full textStarting points: In Slovenia, the higher education institution for nursing started exploring employability opportunities in nursing care in connection with the achievement of competencies from students’ and employers’ point of view. This article highlights the importance of monitoring nursing graduates’ employability. Its aim is to examine the employability of nursing care graduates based on the self-evaluation of competences obtained during the last study year and to establish a link between the self-evaluation of competences and students’ academic performance.
Methodology: A questionnaire was distributed to full and part time nursing care students attending the last study year at five different healthcare/health sciences faculties in Slovenia and to employers (healthcare institutions) where the majority of nursing care graduates finds employment. We examined the level of competence achieved by nursing students and the level of competences required by employers. The sample included a total of 485 students. 194 surveys were returned, which represent a 40 percent response. We used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for each individual joined competence. Further, we compared employability skills of students and employers with Mann-Whitney and Wilcox rank-sum test. For correlation between two variables we used Spearman correlation analysis.
Results: The Mann-Whitney and Wilkson Rank test show that employers generally assess competences with a higher average grade in comparison to students and these differences are statistically significant. By applying the Spearman correlation analysis, we established that a statistically significant weak correlation may be observed between the “average grade” and “competences” variables.
Discussion and conclusion: Our findings show that a continuous monitoring of general and subject-specific competences gained by students, along with a periodic verification of competences demanded by employers, is necessary. It is very important to monitor the requirements of the labour market in terms of ongoing communication with employers who can best estimate special knowledge needs.Ozadje: Visokošolske inštitucije se srečujejo s problemom spremljanja zaposljivosti dipomantov zdravstvene nege in vzpostavitvijo izbranih mehanizmov, ki bi jim omogočili prehod iz izobraževalnega v delovno okolje. Namen članka je prikazati zaposljivost diplomantov zdravstvene nege s pomočjo samoocene njihovih kompetenc v zadnjem študijskem letu in ugotoviti povezanost med oceno kompetenc delodajalcev, samooceno kompetenc študentov in uspešnostjo pri študiju.
Metode: Anketni vprašalnik je bil razdeljen med študente zadnjega letnika zdravstvene nege rednega in izrednega študija. Raziskava je bila izvedena na petih fakultetah za zdravstvo in zdravstvene nege v Sloveniji in med delodajalci (zdravstvene inštitucije), ki zaposlujejo diplomante zdravstvene nege. Raziskovali smo kompetence, ki si jih študentje pridobijo med študijem in kompetence, za katere delodajalci pričakujejo, da jih bodo diplomanti zdravstvene nege ob končanem študiju imeli. V vzorec je bilo vključenih 485 študentov. 194 pravilno izpolnjenih anketnih vprašalnikov je bilo vrnjenih, kar predstavlja 40 % odzivnost. Za združevanje kompetenc smo uporabili Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. S pomočjo Mann-Whitneyjevega in Wilkinsonovega rang testa smo ugotavljali statistično pomembne razlike med posameznimi spremenljivkami. Za ugotavljanje povezanosti dveh spremenljivk smo uporabili Spearmanov koeficient korelacije.
Rezultati: Mann-Whitney in Wilkinsonov rang test sta pokazala, da delodajalci v povprečju višje ocenjujejo dejanske in zahtevane kompetence kot študenti zdravstvene nege, pri čemer so razlike statistično pomembne. S pomočjo Spearmanovega koeficienta korelacije je bilo ugotovljeno, da obstaja med spremeljivkama “povprečna ocena” in “kompetence” šibka povezanost, ki je statistično značilna.
Zaključek: Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je nujno stalno spremljanje splošnih in specifičnih kompetenc študentov skupaj s periodičnim preverjanjem zahtevanih kompetenc s strani delodajalcev. Potrebno je spremljanje zahtev trga dela v smislu stalnega povezovanja z delodajalci, ki lahko posredujejo potrebe po specifičnem znanju
Več-kriterijska ocena poslovnih alternativ pridelave zelenjave
No full textPurpose: Organic and integrated production of vegetables are the two most common production systems in Slovenia. The study analyzed two production systems with different cultures as alternatives with purpose to find the most appropriate variants.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study based on the development and integration of developed specific technological-economic simulation models for the production of vegetables (salad, growing peppers, salad cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, round and cherry tomato) in greenhouse and multi-criteria decision analysis. The methodology of the study based on the DEX methodology and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) of organic (ECO) and integrated production (IP) in greenhouse.
Results: The evaluation results show that both cultivation methods of commercially attractive vegetables in greenhouse are variable. In the case of integrated production, the assessment of multi-criteria decision analysis EC and DEXi showed that salad (Donertie F1) proved to be the best possible alternative. In the case of organic production, the multi-criteria analysis assessment of pickling cucumbers (Harmony F1) is the best possible business alternative.
Conclusion: For the further production planning process by decision maker is the ranking with Expert Choice (EC) more useful and precise, while the DEX evaluations are more descriptive.Namen: V Sloveniji sta ekološki in integriran način pridelave zelenjave med najpomembnejšimi proizvodnimi sistemi. Študija predstavlja analizo dveh proizvodnih sistemov, ki vključujeta pridelavo različnih zelenjadnic. Namen raziskave je več-kriterijska ocena najprimernejše poslovne alternative.
Struktura/Metodologija/Pristop: Raziskava temelji na razvoju in povezavi specifičnih tehnološko-ekonomskih simulacijskih modelov za pridelavo zelenjave (solate, paprike, solatnih kumar, kumar za vlaganje, okroglega paradižnika in grozdastega paradižnika) v zaščitenem prostoru in več-kriterijski odločitveni analizi. Podlaga raziskavi je metodologija DEX in analitični hierarhični proces (AHP) za ekološko (EKO) in integrirano pridelave (IP) omenjenih zelenjadnic.
Rezultati: Rezultati vrednotenja kažejo, da sta za pridelovalca spremenljiva oba načina pridelave tržno zanimivih zelenjadnic v zaščitenem prostoru. Pri integrirani pridelavi se je z oceno večkriterijske odločitvene analize EC in DEXi solata (Donertie F1) izkazala za najboljšo možno alternativo. Pri ekološki pridelavi so se kot najboljša možna alternativa izkazale kumare za vlaganje (Harmony F1).
Zaključki: Za nosilca odločanja in lažje načrtovanje proizvodnje zelenjadnic v rastlinjaku je tako rangiranje na osnovi EC bolj natančno in koristno kot rangiranje s pomočjo DEXi orodja
Statistični model zaustavitev zaradi nadzora kakovosti zraka pri proizvodnji bakra: sistem za podporo odločanju
No full textBackground: In the mid-1990s, a decision support system for copper production was developed for one of the largest mining companies in Australia. The research was conducted by scientists from the largest Australian research center and involved the use of simulation to analyze options to increase production of a copper production facility.
Objectives: We describe a statistical model for shutdowns due to air quality control and some of the data analysis conducted during the simulation project. We point to the fact that the simulation was a sophisticated exercise that consisted of many modules and the statistical model for shutdowns was essential for valid simulation runs.
Method: The statistical model made use of a full year of data on daily downtimes and used a combination of techniques to generate replications of the data.
Results: The study was conducted with a high level of cooperation between the scientists and the mining company. This contributed to the development of accurate estimates for input into a support system with an EXCEL based interface.
Conclusion: The environmental conditions affected greatly the operations of the production facility. A good statistical model was essential for the successful simulation and the high budget expansion decision that ensued.Ozadje: V sredini 1990-ih let je bil razvit sistem za podporo odločanju za proizvodnjo bakra za eno od največjih rudarskih podjetij v Avstraliji. Raziskava je bila izvedena s strani znanstvenikov iz največjega avstralskega raziskovalnega centra in vključuje uporabo simulacije za analizo možnosti za povečanje proizvodnje bakra.

Informacijska podpora evalvaciji kakovosti v visokem šolstvu
No full textBackground and Purpose: The objective of this research was to develop a proposal of the evaluation information support in higher education that encompasses the Quality Assessor’s and Quality Analyst’s work support. Furthermore, the proposal also includes the fields evaluated in the processes of external evaluation of the higher education institutes by the Slovenian National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (hereinafter referred to as »NAKVIS«).
Methodology: The method called the “Multi-Attribute Utility Theory” (hereinafter referred to as “MAUT”) and MS Excel were used for the work support of the Quality Assessors, while the expert modelling in the Decision Expert programme (hereinafter referred to as “Dexi programme”) was used for the work support of the Quality Analysts.
Results: The identified criteria allow a uniform evaluation, regardless of the Assessor. The MS Excel template with automatic calculation was made as the technical support for an evaluator and the expert model in Dexi programme was designed for a Quality Analyst.
Conclusion: The model of the Higher Education Institute quality evaluation, as presented in this article, can provide a comprehensive and transparent consideration of quality at the Faculty, and, in particular, facilitate the evaluation process due to its information and technical support.Ozadje in namen: Cilj raziskave je bil razviti predlog informacijske podpore evalvaciji v visokem šolstvu, ki bi podprl delo ocenjevalca kakovosti in analitika kakovosti. Zajeta so vsa področja, ki jih tudi NAKVIS (Nacionalna agencija RS za kakovost v visokem šolstvu) ocenjuje v postopkih zunanje evalvacije visokošolskih zavodov.
Metodologija: Za podporo dela ocenjevalcev kakovosti smo uporabili metodo MAUT (Multi-Atribute Utility Theory) in Ms Excel, za podporo analitiku kakovosti pa exspertno modeliranje v programu Dexi (Decision Expert).
Rezultati: Identificirani kriteriji za ocenjevanje posameznih področij presoje omogočajo poenoteno ocenjevanje, ne glede na to, kdo so ocenjevalci. Excelova predloga z avtomatskimi izračuni ocen je namenjena tehnični podpori dela evalvatorja, ekspertni model v Dexu pa je namenjen analitiku kakovosti.
Zaključek: Predstavljeni model za evalvacijo kakovosti visokošolskega zavoda lahko zagotovi celovito in transparentno obravnavo kakovosti na fakulteti, predvsem pa z informacijsko in tehnično podporo olajša procese evalvacije
Analiza managementa internetnega marketinga na Češkem
No full textBackground and Purpose: Doing business over the Internet has become increasingly competitive for many companies. The aim of this study is to analyse the current state of utilizing online tools, approaches of Czech companies to the management of online marketing activities and to identify weaknesses and opportunities of these activities.
Methodology/Approach: The paper presents empirical research that uses two different approaches in investigation: (1) descriptive quantitative research of current state, based on examination of websites of a sample of 4,584 Czech companies and (2) questionnaire survey among 161 Czech companies which do business via the Internet.
Results: There is a large gap that currently exist between the use of social media and its connection to marketing activities. The competitive level of the use of social media in the Czech Republic is still low compared to the USA companies. The online marketing management (OMM) of the majority of companies rely on individual assessment and do not use any metrics or management methodologies. One of the main problems of OMM is the ever increasing number of tools used in marketing activities as well as low possibility of a broader perspective on the success of cross channel marketing activities.
Conclusion: In the future, it is expected that a large number of Czech companies will increasingly use online tools as social media for their marketing activities. In the context of this development they cannot rely only on individual assessment to manage these activities as they do currently, but they will have to use comprehensive tools or methodologies. Based on this, we can conclude that Czech companies still have enough opportunities for a better use of online tools for marketing purposes.Ozadje in namen: Poslovanje prek interneta za mnoga podjetja postaja bolj konkurenčno. Cilj te študije je analizirati trenutno stanje glede uporabe spletnih orodij in pristopov, ki jih uporabljajo češke družbe za management spletnih marketinških aktivnosti, in poiskati pomanjkljivosti in priložnosti teh dejavnosti.
Metodologija / pristop: Članek predstavi empirično študijo, ki uporablja dva različna raziskovalna pristopa: (1) opisno kvantitativna raziskava trenutnega stanja, ki temelji na pregledu spletnih strani na vzorcu 4584 čeških podjetij in (2) anketo med 161 čeških podjetij, ki poslujejo prek interneta.
Rezultati: Obstaja velika vrzel med uporabo družabnih omrežij in njihovo povezavo z marketinškimi aktivnostmi. Stopnja uporabe družabnih medijev v Češki republiki je še vedno nizka v primerjavi s podjetji iz ZDA. Management spletnega trženja (OMM) večine podjetij se naslanja na individualne presoje in ne uporablja nobenih meritev ali metodologij upravljanja. Ena od glavnih težav OMM je vse večje število orodij, ki se uporabljajo v marketinških aktivnosti, kot tudi pomanjkanje širše perspektive o delovanju prečnih kanalov marketinških aktivnosti.
Zaključek: V prihodnosti pričakujemo, da bo veliko število čeških podjetij pogosteje uporabljajo spletna orodja kot so družabna omrežja za svoje trženjske aktivnosti. V zvezi s tem se ne morejo zanašati samo na individualne ocene za upravljanje teh dejavnosti, kot to počnejo sedaj, ampak bodo morali uporabiti celovita orodja ali metodologije. Na osnovi tega lahko sklepamo, da ima češka podjetja še vedno dovolj priložnosti za boljšo uporabo spletnih orodij za namene trženja
Vpliv demografskih sprememb na organiziranost nujne medicinske pomoči – primer Slovenije
No full textBackground and Purpose: The modern environment requires that organizations (profit and non-profit) continually harmonize their organizational models with changes in their respective environments and with their own visions and strategies for further development. The organizational structure of Emergency Medical Services (hereinafter EMS) is currently a very topical issue in Slovenia, given that a project to establish a new organization of EMS is currently underway at the national level. By examining the case of one region in Slovenia, this article presents an analysis of factors that impact on the number and types of EMS activities and depicts a forecast of future trends for the requirement of EMS. The analysis presents the initial phase of a strategic planning process for the mentioned activity and consequently, a starting point for the formation of an organizational EMS model.
Methodology: This article presents an analysis of factors that impact on the formulation of an EMS model on the basis of research carried out for one geographical region of Slovenia. For the previous period, data was collected from 2002 to 2014. The software tool used for the analysis was STATA 13.0. For the purpose of forecasting a five-year period trend we used statistical package RStudio and Hyndman´s Forecast package given that this package contains algorithms for forecasting univariate time series including exponential smoothing using automated spatial models and ARIMA modelling.
Results: The research has confirmed a correlation between social/environmental factors and the rate of increase in the demand for EMS. A population´s age structure has been identified as the key social factor that increases the need for EMS. On the basis of this finding, this article presents a model for forecasting growth trends in the scope of EMS activities.
Conclusion: The research study has identified some important elements that are imperative to take into consideration when formulating an EMS network at the prehospital level. Population ageing has emerged as a key social factor. In the accordance with forecasted trends, an increase in the burden placed on EMS activities may also be anticipated in the future.Uvod in namen: Sodobno okolje zahteva od organizacij (tako profitnih kot neprofitnih) nenehno usklajevanje modela organiziranosti s spremembami v okolju ter lastnim videnjem in strategijo nadaljnjega razvoja. Organiziranost nujne medicinske pomoči (NMP) je v tem trenutku v Sloveniji izredno aktualna tema, saj na nacionalni ravni teče projekt, katerega namen je vzpostavitev nove organiziranosti te službe. V članku bomo prikazali analizo vpliva dejavnikov okolja na področju števila in vrste obravnav v službi NMP ter prikazali napoved trendov za to dejavnost, in sicer na primeru ene od regij v Sloveniji. To predstavlja začetno fazo procesa strateškega načrtovanja omenjene dejavnosti in s tem izhodišče za oblikovanje organizacijskega modela te službe.
Metode: V članku je prikazana analiza dejavnikov okolja, ki vplivajo na oblikovanje organizacijskega modela NMP, kar bo opravljeno na primeru ene geografske regije v Sloveniji. Uporabljeni podatki obsegajo časovno obdobje od leta 2002 do 2014. Pri analizi je bilo uporabljeno programsko orodje STATA 13.0. Za namen napovedovanja trenda petletnega obdobja smo uporabili statistični paket RStudio in knjižnico Forecast avtorja Hyndmana, ker knjižnica vsebuje algoritme za napoved univariatnih časovnih vrst vključno z eksponentnim glajenjem s pomočjo prostorskih modelov in avtomatizirano ARIMA modeliranje.
Rezultati: Z raziskavo smo potrdili zvezo med dejavniki okolja in stopnjo naraščanja potreb po storitvah službe NMP. Kot ključni dejavnik okolja, ki povečuje potrebo po storitvah NMP, je bila potrjena starostna struktura prebivalstva. Na tej osnovi smo oblikovali model predvidevanja rasti po obsegu dejavnosti NMP.
Zaključek: V raziskavi so bili ugotovljeni nekateri pomembni elementi, ki jih je neobhodno potrebno upoštevati pri formiranju mreže službe NMP na predbolnišnični ravni. Staranje prebivalstva se je izkazalo kot ključni dejavnik okolja. Skladno z napovedjo trendov je tudi za prihodnost mogoče pričakovati povečanje obremenitev na področju dejavnosti NMP
Vpliv staranja prebivalstva na brezposelnost in podjetniško aktivnost, primer Slovenije
No full textPurpose: The purpose of the research is to investigate impact of population ageing on unemployment and entrepreneurial activity in Slovenia since it is one of the topical issues in an ageing Europe and has many implications for economic and non-economic welfare. Design and Methodology: First, we introduce the phenomenon of population ageing and provide some literature review on population ageing impact on unemployment and entrepreneurial activity. Second, we employ multiple regression analysis on cross-section data for Slovenian municipalities. We use secondary data collected from databases of Statistical Office of Republic of Slovenia and Employment Service of Slovenia on demographic and economic variables by 210 municipalities for the year 2009. Results: The regression analysis results confirm our first hypothesis. Municipalities with higher ageing index and higher average age also have higher registered unemployment rate. If ageing index (average age) is higher by 1 %, the registered unemployment rate is higher on average by 0.532 % to 0.670 % (by 2.431 % to 3.379 %), ceteris paribus. Our regression analysis also confirms our second hypothesis. Municipalities with higher average age also have lower number of enterprises per 100 population. If average age is higher by 1% (by 1 year), the number of enterprises per 100 population is lower on average by 1.7 % (by 0.182 enterprises), ceteris paribus. Conclusion: We may conclude that population ageing without properly addressing it, consequently leads into lower economic welfare. That additionally highlights the importance of a proper demographic and social policy when governing labour market policy.Namen: Namen raziskave je proučiti vpliv staranja prebivalstva na brezposelnost in podjetniško aktivnost v Sloveniji, saj je to eden od pomembnejših problemov v starajoči se Evropi, ki ima številne posledice tako za ekonomsko kakor tudi za neekonomsko blaginjo. Zgradba in metodologija: Najprej predstavljamo fenomen staranja prebivalstva ter pregled literature o vplivu staranja prebivalstva na brezposelnost in podjetniško aktivnost. Nato na presečnih podatkih po slovenskih občinah izvedemo multiplo regresijsko analizo. Uporabljeni so sekundarni podatki, zbrani iz statističnih baz Statističnega urada Republike Slovenije ter Zavoda Republike Slovenije za zaposlovanje o demografskih in ekonomskih spremenljivkah po 210 občinah za leto 2009. Rezultati: Rezultati regresijske analize potrjujejo našo prvo hipotezo. Občine z višjim indeksom staranje ter višjo povprečno starostjo imajo tudi višjo registrirano stopnjo brezposelnosti. Če je indeks staranja (povprečna starost) višji(višja) za 1 %, je stopnja registrirane brezposelnosti višja v povprečju za 0,532 % do 0,670 % (za 2,431 % do 3,379 %) ob ostalih nespremenjenih pogojih. Naša regresijska analiza potrjuje tudi našo drugo hipotezo. Občine z višjo povprečno starostjo imajo tudi manjše število podjetij na 100 prebivalcev. Če je povprečna starost višja za 1 % (za 1 leto), je število podjetij na 100 prebivalcev nižje v povprečju za 1,7 % (za 0,182 podjetja) ob ostalih nespremenjenih pogojih. Zaključek: Sklenemo lahko, da staranje prebivalstva, brez ustreznih ukrepov posledično vodi v nižjo ekonomsko blaginjo. To pa dodatno izpostavlja pomen ustrezne demografske in socialne politike pri vodenju politike trga dela
Pridelava sladkorja in sladkorne pese: Model sistemske dinamike in ekonomska analiza
No full textBackground and Purpose: The sugar beet is the main field crop used for sugar production in the temperate climatic zone. Since investment in sugar beet industry are long term and ireversible tde decision support and economic analysis are required in order to maximise investment returns.
Methodology: A system dynamics methodology was chosen to model the impacts of regional sugar factory investments. We present the basic concepts of system dynamics (SD) models and their development in the case of sugar beet production and processing systems. Sugar beet economics are also analyzed using the static technological economic simulation model.
Results: The simulation provides answers to strategic questions related to the total sugar beet production and processing system and will be used for the simulation of different scenarios for sugar production and their impact on economic and environmental parameters at an aggregate level. Furthermore, the feasibility analysis of sugar beet production revealed that at the current price and intensity levels (yields), we can expect profitable sugar beet production for both white sugar and ethanol.
Conclusion: Preliminary results show that under expected production parameters the sugar beet processing and production would be economically feasible.Ozadje in namen: Sladkorna pesa je glavna kultura, ki se uporablja za proizvodnjo sladkorja v zmernem klimatskem pasu. Ker so naložbe v predelavo sladkorne pese dolgoročne in ireverzibilne, je z uporabo ustreznih orodij potrebno odločitve pretehtati
Metodologija: Metodologija sistemske dinamike je bila izbrana za podporo odločanju na regionalnem nivoju pri planiranju investicij v predelavo sladkorne pese. Predstavljamo osnovne pojme sistemske dinamike (SD) in razvoj modela pridelave in predelave sladkorne pese in predelovalnih sistemih. S pomočjo tehnološko ekonomskega simulacijskega modela pa analiziramo ekonomiko pridelave sladkorne pese.
Rezultati: Model ponuja odgovore na strateška vprašanja, ki so povezana s predelavo sladkorne pese in bo uporabljen za simulacijo različnih scenarijev za proizvodnjo sladkorja in njihovega vpliva na gospodarske in okoljske parametre na agregatni ravni. Analiza ekonomske upravičenosti proizvodnje sladkorne pese je pokazala, da pri sedanjih cenah in intenzivnosti pridelave (pričakovan pridelek), lahko pričakujemo dobičkonosno proizvodnjo sladkorne pese tako za beli sladkor kot etanol.
Zaključek: Preliminarni rezultati so pokazali, da ob doseganju predvidenih parametrov lahko pričakujemo ekonomsko upravičeno pridelavo in predelavo sladkorne pese
