Mehka optimizacija za izbiro portfelja na osnovi vstavljenega (vgrajenega) izreka v mehko normiran linearni prostor
No full textBackground: This paper generalizes the results of Embedding problem of Fuzzy Number Space and its extension into a Fuzzy Banach Space C(Ω)xC(Ω) where C(Ω) is the set of all realvalued continuous functions on an open set Ω.Objectives: The main idea behind our approach consists of taking advantage of interplays between fuzzy normed spaces and normed spaces in a way to get an equivalent stochastic program. This helps avoiding pitfalls due to severe oversimplification of the reality. Method: The embedding theorem shows that the set of all fuzzy numbers can be embedded into a Fuzzy Banach space. Inspired by this embedding theorem, we propose a solution concept of fuzzy optimization problem which is obtained by applying the embedding function to the original fuzzy optimization problem. Results: The proposed method is used to extend the classical Mean-Variance portfolio selection model into Mean Variance-Skewness model in fuzzy environment under the criteria on short and long term returns, liquidity and dividends.Conclusion: A fuzzy optimization problem can be transformed into a multiobjective optimization problem which can be solved by using interactive fuzzy decision making procedure. Investor preferences determine the optimal multiobjective solution according to alternative scenarios.Ozadje: Članek posploši rezultate problema vgrajenega mehkega številskega prostora in njegovih razširitev v mehki Banachov prostor, kjer je C(Ω) množica vseh realnih kontinuirnih funkcij na odprti množici Ω. Cilji: Poglavitna ideja v ozadju našega pristopa je izrabiti prednost medsebojnega vpliva mehkih normiranih prostorov in normiranih prostorov na način, da dobimo ekvivalenten stohastičen program. Tako se laže izognemo tveganju zaradi prevelikega poenostavljanja realnosti.Metoda: Vgrajeni izrek pokaže, da množico vseh mehkih števil lahko vgradimo v mehki Banach-ov prostor. Izhajajoč iz tega izreka predlagamo rešitev koncepta mehkega optimizacijske problema, ki se pojavi, kadar uporabimo vgrajeno funkcijo na prvotnem mehkem optimizacijskem problemu.Rezultati: Predlagano metodo smo uporabili, da smo razširili klasičen model (srednja varianca) za izbiro portfeja na model v mehkem okolju (srednja varianca z nesimetrično porazdelitvijo) ob kriteriju dolgoročnih in kratkoročnih dobičkov na vlaganja, likvidnosti in dividend.Zaključek: Problem zabrisane optimizacije je mogoče pretvoriti v problem večkriterijske optimizacije, ki ga je mogoče rešiti z uporabo interaktivnega mehkega postopka odločanja. Investitorjeve preference določajo optimalno večkriterijsko rešitev glede na alternativne scenarije
Koncept skupnosti prakse – primer iz IT sektorja
No full textBackground: A growing interest in the concept of communities of practice (CoP) has been recently observed in several academic fields. They include organizational studies (the topics of knowledge management and organizational learning in particular) and education. However, the notion is used in various contexts. It is sometimes perceived as a social construct, but at some other times as a virtual community or informal group sponsored by an organization for the purpose of making it easier to share knowledge or learn. Objectives: The main aims of the paper are: 1) to identify the main characteristics of the CoP in IT sector, 2) to identify and describe the knowledge management tools used by CoP, 3) and to identify and analyse customer knowledge of CoP. Method: The research assumed an exploratory character. The case study and survey methods with application of structured questionnaire were used. Results: The CoP is little effective form of stimulating business processes and market, despite application of a broad range of activities undertaken for the purpose of creation of the so-called knowledge communities by the entities of IT sector and internet activity declared by respondents. Conclusion: Poor knowledge of CoP as well as the awareness of participation in its structures among the recipients, who are additionally active users of new technologies including mostly the Internet, may also be caused by the lack of experience in the sphere of studied knowledge-based relationships or priority character of ventures of directly measurable business results. Determinants of CoP creation and directions of its development may constitute an interesting area for further studies.Ozadje - Naraščanje zanimanja za skupnosti prakse se zadnja leta kaže na več področjih, vključno s področjema organizacijskih znanosti (še posebej na področju upravljanja z znanjem in organizacijskega učenja) in izobraževanja. Razumevanje izraza skupnost prakse pa je različno. Včasih pomeni sociološki konstrukt, drugič pa kot virtualno skupnost ali neformalno skupino pod pokroviteljstvom neke organizacije, z namenom podpirati širjenje znanja ali učenje. Cilji - Poglavitni cilji članka so (1) poiskati glavne značilnosti skupnosti prakse v IT sektorju gospodarstva, (2) ugotoviti in prestaviti orodja za upravljanje z znanjem, ki jih uporabljajo v skupnostih prakse in (3) ugotoviti in analizirati poznavanje skupnosti prakse v izbrani populaciji. Metoda - Raziskava je preliminarnega značaja. Uporabili smo študijo primera in anketiranje z uporabo strukturiranega vprašalnika. Rezultati – Skupnosti prakse so malo učinkovita oblika spodbujanja poslovnih in prodajnih procesov, čeprav je bila uporabljena vrsta aktivnosti na strani IT sektorja z namenom ustvariti skupnosti znanja, in intenzivni uporabi interneta v obravnavani populaciji. Zaključek – Razlog za slabo poznavanje skupnosti prakse in pomanjkljivo zavedanje o vključenosti posameznikov, ki so sicer aktivni uporabniki novih tehnologij, predvsem interneta, je lahko pomanjkanje izkušenj na obravnavanem specifičnem področju upravljanja z znanjem ali značilnostih ravnanj, ki jih je mogoče neposredno meriti s poslovnimi rezultati. Determinante oblikovanja skupnosti prakse predstavljajo zanimivo za nadaljnje raziskovanje
Pričakovanja uporabnikov glede spletnega računovodskega poročanja
No full textBackground and Purpose: The objective of this research was to explore the perceptions of the users regarding Internet financial reporting practices in Slovenia. With this research, we wanted to determine what the perceptions of the users are regarding the reliability, credibility, usefulness and sufficiency of online accounting information and how their expectations regarding the content of accounting information differ from the actual situation. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This research has two parts: in the first part, we summarised the actual situation regarding publishing of internet financial reporting on a sample of large companies in Slovenia (n=110) while, in the second part, we conducted a survey with which we assessed the expectations of users as regards of accounting information (n=127). We then compared users' expectations with the actual situation, analysed by evaluation of 110 websites of Slovene companies. Results: In the research we found that 52.6% of companies publish their accounting information on their websites and that on average 40.2% of users actually make use of this information We found that users have evaluated all four of characteristics: reliability, credibility, usefulness and sufficiency above average, whereby they evaluated usefulness with the highest grade and sufficiency with the lowest. Conclusion: The results of this research can offer companies a feedback on users’ expectations, particularly in cases where these expectations are greater than the actual situation. We have determined that users generally want information that indicates the financial status of a company (such as the Rating Report and data on the company's liquidity), as these information are currently expected by users but available information do not meet their need in full.Ozadje in namen: S to raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti kako pogosto se uporabniki poslužujejo spletnih strani za pridobivanje računovodskih informacij ter preučiti njihova stališča glede zanesljivosti, verodostojnosti, koristnosti in zadostnosti teh informacij. Hkrati pa smo želeli ugotoviti ali so ta pričakovanja skladna z dejanskim stanjem. Metodologija/pristop: Raziskava je razdeljena na dva dela: v prvem smo proučili dejansko stanje glede spletnega računovodskega poročanja na primeru velikih slovenskih podjetji (n=110). V drugem delu pa smo z anketiranjem ugotavljali stališča uporabnikov (n=127) spletnega računovodskega poročanja. Ta pričakovanja uporabnikov smo nato primerjali z dejanskim stanjem in ugotavljali na katerih področjih prihaja do največjih razhajanj. Rezultati: V raziskavi smo ugotovili, da 52,6 % podjetji na svoji spletni stani objavlja računovodske informacije in da se 40,2 % uporabnikov poslužuje teh informacij. Rezultati kažejo, da so anketiranci v povprečju najvišje ocenili koristnost računovodskih informacij, sledi zanesljivost, verodostojnost, najnižje pa so ocenili zadostnost. Zaključek: Rezultati te raziskave lahko nudijo povratno informacijo podjetjem glede pričakovanj uporabnikov in to še posebej v primeru, ko so njihova pričakovanja večja od dejanskega stanja. V raziskavi smo ugotovili, da do teh razhajanj prihaja predvsem pri poročanju o finančnem stanju podjetja, saj uporabniki na spletnih straneh pogosto iščejo te informacije, vendar jih ne dobijo v zadostni meri
Razvoj modelov sistemske dinamike za podporo odločanju pri pridelavi in predelavi sladkorne pese
No full textBackground: The sugar beet is the main field crop used for sugar production in the temperate climatic zone. The abolishment of the quota system will open new investment opportunities in countries that were forced to abandon sugar industry as the result of the reform in 2006. Present paper describes the modeling of sugar beet production and its processing into sugar for purpose of decision support. Methods: A system dynamics methodology was chosen to model impacts of regional sugar factory investment. We present two basic concepts of system dynamics models at causal loop diagram level. The first holistic model deals with regional planning of new product development and the second one deals with factory model. Results: The holistic model presented main feedback loops and dynamics of main elements in the case of regional investment into sugar industry. The factory model considered the specifics of the beet processing which is a) limited period of beet processing and b) initial adjustment to the production capacity at the start of the production season Conclusions: The model seeks answers to strategic questions related to the whole sugar beet production and processing system and will be used for simulation of different scenarios for sugar production and their impact on economic and environmental parameters at an aggregate level.Ozadje: Sladkorna pesa je glavna kultura, ki se uporablja za proizvodnjo sladkorja v našem klimatskem pasu. Ukinitev Sistema kvot z letom 2016 odpira možnosti ponovne vzpostavitve proizvodnje v članicah EU, ki so se ji bile prisiljene odreči v letu 2006. V članku predstavljamo možnost uporabe modelov sistemske dinamike za potrebe podpore odločanju pri investicijah v sladkorno industrijo. Metoda: Na nivoju vzročnega diagrama predstavljamo 2 modela sistemske dinamike. Prvi je holistični in predstavlja primer ocenejvanja efektov investicije v sladkorno insustrijo. Drugi model se pa ukvarja z delovanjem tovarne. Rezultati: Holistični model predstavlja vse povratne zanke v ssitemu sladkorne industrije na regionalnem nivoju. Model proizvodnje pa se ukvarja z delovanjem tovarne. Zaključk: Model omogoča iskanje odgovorov na strateška vprašanja in se bo uporabljal pri ocenejvanju scenarijev investicij v proizvodnjo sladkorja in njihovega vpliva ne proizvodno-ekonomske in okoljske parametre
Organizacijski in managerski izzivi reformiranja slovenskih javnih agencij
No full textIntroduction: Agencies are among the key contemporary public organizations, prospering within reforms carried out worldwide to increase professionalism and rationalism in public administration (PA). Hence, countries have been establishing agencies and delegating them public tasks in order to achieve expertise-based instead of politically-driven and thus more efficient public policies. In such context, the present article addresses the most important strategic documents related to public administration reform (PAR) in Slovenia, analyzing their goals in terms of agencification and the main implementation results and gaps. Research Design: The research is dedicated to exploring the governmental approach to agencification as a key aspect of PAR. It analyzes (1) the main PAR strategic documents on public agencies in Slovenia since the mid-90s, and (2) the perceived implementation of structural and managerial autonomy as the declared goal of agencification. Combined research methods are applied, including descriptive analysis, regional comparisons, structural interviews among representatives of public agencies and their parent ministries, and selected statistical data analysis. Results: As proven by different research methods, the hypothesis whereby agencification goals in Slovenia are largely achieved as part of PAR documents in terms of autonomous organizational structure was confirmed. A more elaborated agencification in PAR documents relates to higher implementation of autonomy. Conclusion: Nevertheless, the professionalism of Slovenian agencies is still an on-going process, particularly as regards the efficiency implementation gap. As for the future, a more consistent PAR incorporating cross-sectoral policy on agencies is required to pursue the development of a democratic and efficient PA.Povzetek: Agencije so ena ključnih sodobnih oblik javnih organizacij, ki se razvijajo po celem svetu v okviru reform, usmerjenih v povečanje strokovnosti in racionalizacije javne uprave (JU). Države ustanavljajo javne agencije in nanje prenašajo javne naloge, da bi dosegle strokovno utemeljene namesto politično vodenih javnih politik in posledično njihovo večjo učinkovitost. Članek v tem smislu obravnava najpomembnejše strateške reformne dokumente v Sloveniji glede agencifikacije, z analizo na to področje nanašajočih se ciljev, rezultatov in razkoraka pri izvajanju. Zasnova/metodologija/pristop: Raziskava je posvečena preučevanju vladnega pristopa k agencifikaciji kot ključnega vidika reforme JU. Analizira (1) poglavitne strateške dokumente o reformah JU glede javnih agencij v Sloveniji od srede devetdesetih let in (2) zaznave o implementaciji strukturne in managerske avtonomije kot deklariranega cilja agencifikacije. Uporabljene so različne, dopolnjujoče se raziskovalne metode, vključno z deskriptivno analizo, regijskimi primerjavami, strukturiranimi intervjuji med predstavniki agencij in resornih ministrstev ter analizo izbranih statističnih podatkov. Rezultati: Kot izkazano z različnimi metoda proučevanja, je bila hipoteza o pretežnem doseganju ciljev strateških dokumentov o reformah JU na področju doseganja strukturne oziroma organizacijske avtonomije agencij potrjena. Toda za višjo stopnjo in druge oblike avtonomije je v reformnih strategijah nujna bolj podrobna razdelava agencifikacije. Zaključek: Profesionalizacija slovenskih agencij je še trajajoč proces, zato je posebej značilna področna implementacijske vrzel. V bodoče je zato potrebna bolj dosledna reforma JU in agencifikacije kot preko sektorske politike. Le tako lahko dosežemo razvoj demokratične in učinkovite JU
Prenos znanja v intra-organizacijskih omrežjih: študija primera
No full textBackground: In today’s business environment, a company is able to maintain its competitive position if it constantly generates knowledge and disseminates this knowledge within the organization, as well as transforms it into new competences. The ability to transfer knowledge becomes one of the key factors in the improvement of a company’s competitive position. This hypothesis is applicable particularly in the case of cooperation within networks, as they are an excellent opportunity for mutual learning between partners.Objectives: The purpose of the paper is to analyse the process of knowledge transfer in intra-organizational networks.Method: Due to the specificity of the research object, the case study method has been chosen. In order to make an in-depth analysis of the case study, we selected a group of several criteria based on the theory which we believe to be fundamental to the effectiveness of knowledge management in networks, and compared them with the situation in the ArcelorMittal Group.Results: Our research show that ArcelorMittal Group has met almost all the criteria of effective knowledge management in its intra-organizational network. Some exceptions, albeit merely to an extent, are mostly the result of historical circumstances, , i.e. the process of growth through acquisitions, and the acquisition of companies at different stages of organizational development, as well as organizational culture.Conclusion: Based on theoretical assumptions, the study analysed in details the components of knowledgemanagement applied by the corporation in question. Therefore this study might be utilised to formulate a refutable hypothesis and verify them on a larger group of companies from different sectors of the economy. The main limitations of the paper are mostly related to the inherent approach therein.Ozadje: V današnjem poslovnem okolju lahko podjetja vzdržujejo konkurenčen položaj le, če stalno generirajo znanje, razširjajo znanje znotraj organizacije in ga pretvarjajo v nove kompetence. Zmožnost prenosa znanja je eden od ključnih dejavnikov za izboljšanje konkurenčnega položaja podjetja. To velja še posebej v primeru sodelovanja med omrežji, saj le-ta predstavljajo odlično možnost, da se partnerji učijo eden od drugega.Cilji: Cilj tega članka je analizirati proces prenosa znanja v intra-organizacijskih omrežjih.Metode: Zaradi specifičnosti raziskovanega subjekta smo uporabili metodo študije primera. Da bi lahko izvedli poglobljeno analizo smo izbrali skupino različnih kriterijev pri čemer smo se opirali na teorijo, za katero verjamemo, da je pomembna za učinkovito upravljanje znanja v omrežjih, in te kriterije uporabili pri analizi situacije v skupini ArcelorMital.Rezultati: Naša analiza je pokazala, da ArcelorMital skupina ustreza skoraj vsem kriterijem učinkovitega managementa znanja v intra-organizacijskih omrežjih. Nekatere izjeme so vsaj v določeni meri posledica zgodovinskih okoliščin, na primer procesa rasti, ki izhaja iz prevzemov, predvsem prevzemov podjetij na različnih stopnjah organizacijskega razvojain različne organizacijske kulture.Zaključek: Na osnovi teoretičnih izhodišč je podana podrobna analiza komponent managementa znanja v obravnavani korporaciji. Na osnovi naše študije je mogoče oblikovati hipoteze in jih preveriti na večji skupini podjetij z različnih sektorjev gospodarstva. Poglavitna omejitev naše študije je predvsem v samem pristopu
Uporaba analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa (AHP) in analize občutljivosti za izbiro ustrezne politike vzdrževanja
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to apply an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for the evaluation/selection of maintenance policy. Methodology/Approach: The paper adopts a case study approach of selecting most appropriate maintenance policy in the case of Slovenian paper mill company. Several steps of the AHP method are used in order to structure the decision-making process. Five possible alternatives are considered: failure based maintenance, preventive maintenance, total productive maintenance, reliability centered maintenance and total quality maintenance. Findings: This paper proposes a framework for maintenance policy selection based on the AHP methodology. The framework was applied to select the most appropriate maintenance policy in a paper mill company. The results suggest that total quality maintenance is the most suitable concept for a paper machine. By performing a sensitivity analysis, it was revealed that the final outcome remained stable in all cases when the weights of the main criteria were increased for 25 percent. Originality/value: The paper contributes to the literature by providing a framework for decision-making process regarding the maintenance policy selection. In addition, this paper utilizes an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart for performing a consistency test. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis also presents an important implication of this study.Namen: Namen članka je prikazati uporabo metode analitičnega hierarhičnega procesa (AHP) na primeru evalvacije in izbire ustrezne politike vzdrževanja. Metodologija/pristop: Članek temelji na študiji primera izbire najprimernejše politike vzdrževanja za slovensko papirniško podjetje. V okviru študije primera so uporabljeni in predlagani številni koraki AHP metode, katerih namen je strukturirati odločitveni proces. V raziskavi so bili upoštevani naslednji koncepti vzdrževanja: kurativno vzdrževanje, preventivno vzdrževanje, celovito produktivno vzdrževanje, vzdrževanje na osnovi zanesljivosti, celovito kakovostno vzdrževanje. Ugotovitve: Predlagan je okvir za izbiro ustrezne politike vzdrževanja, ki temelji na metodologiji AHP. Predlagani okvir je bil testiran na primeru izbire najprimernejše politike vzdrževanja za slovensko papirniško podjetje. Rezultati kažejo, da je celovito kakovostno vzdrževanje najbolj primeren koncept vzdrževanja za proučevani papirniški stroj. Z naknadno analizo občutljivosti je bilo ugotovljeno, da je končna razvrstitev ocenjevanih politik vzdrževanja ostala nespremenjena, kljub 25% povečanjem uteži vseh ključnih kriterijev. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Članek predstavlja doprinos k obstoječi literaturi z vidika razvoja okvira, katerega namen je zagotoviti strukturirani odločitveni proces izbire ustrezne politike vzdrževanja. V članku je predlagana in prikazana metoda za preverjanje konsistentnosti na osnovi kontrolne karte, ki temelji na eksponentnem ponderiranem pomičnim povprečjem (EWMA). Pomembnost raziskave se dodatno odraža še preko analize občutljivosti, ki ravno tako predstavlja pomembni del predlaganega okvira za izbiro ustrezne politike vzdrževanja
Oris dejavnosti vezanih na eko inovacije – podjetniški grozdi v regiji Jugovzhodne Evrope
No full textBackground and Purpose: Providing a win-win situation for enterprises and the environment is raising the importance of eco-innovation. This article sheds light on the eco-innovation activities implemented within the clusters of the South Eastern European region (hereafter the SEE region). The main objective of this paper is to provide an outline of the situation pertaining to the implementation of eco-innovation activities in analyzed clusters. Methodology: Empirical evidence is provided through the performance of survey research with a sample of 52 clusters, encompassing 11 countries of the SEE region. The basic research method used in this research was a questionnaire developed for cluster organizations, with which we gathered the data and afterwards conducted descriptive statistics. Results: The findings demonstrate that the majority of analyzed clusters implement eco-innovation activities. The results indicate that 40 clusters out of 52 in all have set objectives with regard to eco-innovation support in their national or regional programs, followed by 35 clusters, which include objectives related to eco-innovation in their cluster strategies, and lastly, only 15 clusters are primarily focused on eco-innovation. Hence, our study depicting the current situation regarding the implementation of eco-innovation activities in analyzed clusters and clusters’ orientation towards eco-innovation leads to us the discussion of why such differences in clusters occur. Conclusion: The huge differences related to the implementation of eco-innovation activities in clusters of the SEE region, can also reflect the level of the national/regional development in terms of economic indicators such as GDP and, at the same time, offer room for a lot of improvement, and an exchange of best practice.Namen: Eko inovacije zagotavljajo tako imenovano win-win situacijo, ko zmagata obe strani – v tem primeru podjetje in okolje. S tem si eko inovacije dodatno zvišujejo svoj pomen. Namen tega članka je prikazati/zagotoviti oris stanja dejavnosti vezanih na eko inovacije, na primeru podjetniških grozdov v regiji Jugovzhodne Evrope. Metodologija: V članku so prikazani rezultati raziskave izvedene na vzorcu podjetniških grozdov, v 11 državah Jugovzhodne Evrope. Za pripravo pričujoče analize je bil pripravljen vprašalnik sestavljen iz osnovnih vprašanj, povezanih s posameznimi skupinami, s kombinacijo odprtih in zaprtih vprašnj. Cilj vprašalnika je bil pridobiti pregled nad podjetniškimi grozdi in dejavnostmi vezanimi na eko inovacije. Analiza podatkov je bila opravljena s preprostimi opisnimi statistikami. Ugotovitve: Ugotovitve kažejo, da večina analiziranih podjetniških grozdov izvaja dejavnosti vezane na eko inovacije. Nadalje, rezultati kažejo, da je 40 podjetniških grozdov (od skupno 52) postavilo cilje vezane na podporo eko inovacijam v nacionalnih ali regionalnih programih. Tem sledi 35 podjetniških grozdov, kateri vključujejo cilje vezane na eko inovacije v svoji strategiji. Medtem ko je le 15 podjetniških grozdov primarno osredotočenih na eko inovacije. Obstoječe razlike v dejavnostih vezanih na eko inovacije nas skozi članek vodijo do diskusije zakaj se le te pojavljajo. Originalnost: Če povzamemo vse ugotovitve pričujoče analize je potrebno najprej poudariti velike razlike v obravnavanih državah glede dejavnosti vezanih na eko inovacije. Te razlike so lahko tudi odraz nacionalnega/regionalnega razvoja, v smislu gospodarskih kazalcev, kot je BDP. Istočasno pa nudijo mnogo priložnosti za izboljšanje in izmenjavo dobrih praks
Management kompetenc in organizacijska uspešnost v Srednji in Vzhodni Evropi: Primerjava Slovenije in Avstrije
No full textToday management competencies are seen as the only long-term strategic advantage of any company. However, from corporate experience we know that only 10 % of the knowledge acquired is transferred into entrepreneurial practice. Current trends in management development often overemphasize individual learning and ignore the missing fit between individual behavior and organizational performance.To meet these demands, we collected competency ttributions of managers attending executive courses in Austria and Slovenia. A questionnaire with closed and open question will help to explore and compare the relation between organizational performance and current management competencies in these countries. The results confirm our predictions to a lesser extent. However, they represent a basis for further examination of the relationship between managerial competencies and organizational performance.Dandanes management kompetence veljajo za edino dolgoročno strateško prednost kateregakoli podjetja. Toda korporativne izkušnje so pokazale, da se le deset odstotkov pridobljenega znanja uporabi v podjetniški praksi. Trenutni trendi v razvoju managementa pogosto preveč poudarjajo učenje posameznika in zanemarjajo manjkajočo povezavo med obnašanjem posameznika in organizacijsko uspešnostjo. Da bi zapolnili obstoječo vrzel, smo pri udeležence na seminarjih za managerje v Avstriji in Sloveniji zbirali lastnosti, ki po mnenju managerjev odražajo njihovo kompetentnost. Vprašalnik z zaprtimi in odprtimi vprašanji nam je pomagal raziskati in primerjati odnos med organizacijsko uspešnostjo in trenutnimi managerskimi kompetencami v obeh državah. Rezultati le do neke mere potrjujejo naše napovedi, vseeno pa predstavljajo trdne temelje za nadaljnje raziskovanje odnosa med managerskimi kompetencami in organizacijsko uspešnostjo
Ocena kritičnih dejavnikov uspeha za “offshore” programske razvojne projekte
No full textOffshore projectsuccess is very much important to both customer and the vendor. Based on veryless success rate of overall software projects globally, critical successfactors (CSFs) for offshore software projects is gaining much importance. Inthe current study based on literature review, a total of 75 success factors foroffshore software projects are identified. Further based on their appearance inliterature 20 critical success factors from 10 CSF categories are identified.Finally top six most critical success factors for offshore software projectssuch as trust, efficient communication,cultural understanding, relationshipbetween client and vendor, contract type and efficient knowledge transfer are identified. The CSFs categoriesare prioritized in the order of importance. The important CSF categories foroffshore projects identified are organizational factors (both client andvendor), project factors, cultural factors and environmental factors.Uspešnost “offshore” projektov je zelo pomembna tako za kupca kot za prodajalca. Glede na mnogo nižji delež uspešnosti “offshore” programskih projektov v primerjavi z drugimi projekti s področja razvoja programske opreme, je kritičnim dejavnikom uspeha za “offshore” programske projekte namenjeno veliko pozornosti. Naša raziskava je na podlagi pregleda literature identificirala petinsedemdeset dejavnikov uspeha za te projekte. Nadalje je bilo glede na pogostost pojavljanja v literaturi opredeljenih dvajset kritičnih dejavnikov uspeha iz desetih kategorij dejavnikov. Raziskava je izpostavila kot šest najpomembnejših kritičnih dejavnikov uspeha zaupanje, učinkovito komunikacijo, kulturno razumevanje, odnos med kupcem in prodajalcem, tip pogodbe in učinkovit prenos znanja. Kot pomembne kategorije kritičnih dejavnikov uspeha za “offshore” projekte (KDU) je raziskava ugotovila organizacijske dejavnike (tako kupca kot prodajalca), projektne dejavnike, kulturne dejavnike in okoljske dejavnike
