Pomen motivacijskih dejavnikov za mednarodno mobilnost študentov: empirični izsledki za izbrane visokošolske institucije v Evropi
No full textThe article explores the importance of motivating factors for the international mobility of undergraduate students who participated in a mobility programme and completed part of their studies at selected higher education institutions. The empirical research was conducted on a population of 3,539 mobile undergraduate students, who took part in mobility programmes between 2006 and 2011 at three selected higher education institutions in three different European countries (1 – Germany: Duale Hochschule Baden‑Württemberg Karlsruhe, 2 – Norway: University of Tromsø, 3 – Slovenia: Faculty of Management). The purpose of this article is to present the underlying motivating factors in relation to the selected institution on a sample of 288 undergraduate students during the period studied. On the basis of these findings, we came to the conclusion that most of the students participated in students’ mobility programmes especially to gain international study and life experiences. Furthermore, we established a statistically significant difference in the duration of a mobility period in connection with gender and the satisfaction with the mobility programme.Prispevek obravnava pomen motivacijskih dejavnikov za mednarodno mobilnost dodiplomskih študentov, ki so bili mobilno aktivni in so del svojih študijskih obveznosti opravljali na izbranih visokošolskih institucijah. Empirična raziskava je bila izvedena na populaciji 3.539 mobilnih dodiplomskih študentov na treh izbranih visokošolskih institucijah v treh različnih evropskih državah, ki so bili mobilni v letih od 2006 do 2011 (1 – Nemčija: Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Karlsruhe, 2 – Norveška: Univerza v Tromsu, 3 – Slovenija: Fakulteta za Management). Namen prispevka je na osnovi pridobljenega vzorca 288-ih mobilnih dodiplomskih študentov za preučevano obdobje prikazati osnovne motivacijske dejavnike glede na izbrano institucijo. Na osnovi empiričnih izsledkov je bilo ugotovljeno, da se je večina študentov na študijsko mobilnost odpravila predvsem zaradi pridobitve mednarodnih študijskih in življenjskih izkušenj. Prav tako pa obstajajo statistično značilne razlike v dolžini obdobja študentske mobilnosti glede na spol in zadovoljstva s programom mobilnosti
Organizacijski dejavniki hitre rasti slovenskih dinamičnih podjetij
No full textThe authors provide key findings on the internal and external environmental factors of growth that affect the rapid growth of dynamic enterprises in relation to individual key organisational factors or functions. The key organisational relationships in a growing enterprise are upgraded with previous research findings and identified key factors of rapid growth through qualitative and quantitative analysis based on the analysis of 4,511 dynamic Slovenian enterprises exhibiting growth potential. More than 250 descriptive attributes of a sample of firms from 2011 were also used for further qualitative analysis and verification of key growth factors. On the basis of the sample (the study was conducted with 131 Slovenian dynamic enterprises), the authors verify whether these factors are the same as the factors that were studied in previous researches. They also provide empirical findings on rapid growth factors in relation to individual organisational functions: administration – management – implementation (entrepreneur – manager – employees). Through factor analysis they look for the correlation strength between individual variables (attributes) that best describe each factor of rapid growth and that relate to the aforementioned organisational functions in dynamic enterprises. The research findings on rapid growth factors offer companies the opportunity to consider these factors during the planning and implementation phases of their business, to choose appropriate instruments for the transition from a small fast growing firm to a professionally managed growing company, to stimulate growth and to choose an appropriate growth strategy and organisational factors in order to remain, or become, dynamic enterprises that can further contribute to the preservation, growth and development of the Slovenian economy.The authors provide key findings on the internal and external environmental factors of growth that affect the rapid growth of dynamic enterprises in relation to individual key organisational factors or functions.

Avtorja v članku podajata ugotovitve preverjanja posameznih notranje in zunanje okoljskih dejavnikov hitre rasti, ki vplivajo na hitro rast dinamičnih podjetij v povezavi z nekaterimi ključnimi organizacijskimi dejavniki oziroma funkcijami. Temeljna organizacijska razmerja v rastočem podjetju nadgrajujeta s spoznanji dosedanjih raziskovanj in prepoznanih odločilnih dejavnikov hitre rasti, in sicer s kvalitativno in kvantitativno analizo na osnovi analize 4.511 slovenskih dinamičnih podjetij s potencialom rasti ter vzorca teh podjetij iz leta 2011, ki je služil za nadaljnjo kvalitativno analizo in preverjanje ključnih dejavnikov rasti z 250 opisnimi atributi. Na osnovi obravnavanega vzorca preverjata (vzorec je 131 slovenskih dinamičnih podjetij), ali so ti dejavniki enaki, kot so jih ugotavljali raziskovalci v preteklosti. Prav tako podajata empirične ugotovitve o dejavnikih hitre rasti v povezavi s posameznimi organizacijskimi funkcijami: upravljanje – poslovodenje – izvajanje (podjetnik – menedžer – zaposleni). S pomočjo faktorske analize sta iskala moč povezanosti posameznih spremenljivk (atributov), ki najbolje opisujejo posamezni dejavnik hitre rasti in se navezujejo na omenjene organizacijske funkcije v dinamičnih podjetjih. Izsledki preveritve ključnih dejavnikov hitre rasti nudijo podjetjem možnost upoštevanja teh dejavnikov pri načrtovanju in izvajanju poslovanja in s tem izbor primernih instrumentov za prehod iz malega rastočega podjetja v profesionalno vodeno rastoče podjetje, za stimulacijo rasti, izbor primerne strategije rasti ter organizacijskih dejavnikov, vse z namenom, da ostanejo ali postanejo dinamična podjetja in tako dodatno prispevajo k ohranitvi in rasti ter razvoju slovenskega gospodarstva
Karierni načrt kot gradnik osebne odličnosti
No full textThe narrow field of research is to develop a model for building of personal excellence using a career plan which is qualitatively and quantitatively empirically tested and confirmed. The purpose of this research is to determine the factors, which influence the feeling of personal excellence of participants of education regarding the writing of a career plan in relation to the other participants who were not educated in career planning. The qualitative analyses consists of basic experience data which was collected during the education process in 20 essays and the paradigmatic model with the final theory was elaborated, based on which we created a questionnaire. Quantitative analysis has been elaborated with 547 participants and non-participants of education. With the statistical analyses of data, we used the bivariate analysis to test the linear connection of individual pairs of variables. While searching for the differences between both groups we used t-test for independent samples. With factor analyses, we tried to find out weather the relations among the examined variables can be explained with the smaller number of indirectly examined variables. The final model consists of three elements: (1) relation to the career, (2) self-esteem and (3) perception of personal excellence. The management can use the results of this research in their management decision making. The increased success of every individual organization benefits the whole society. The research represents the original contribution and offers new approach, based on the paradigm of understanding of career and the importance of its planning as a motive of excellence. Key words: career planning, research of career planning, personal excellence, employability, career break, qualitative analyses, quantitative analyses, neurolinguistic programming.Ozko področje raziskave je zgraditi model model gradnje osebne odličnosti s pomočjo kariernega načrta, ki je kvantitativno in kvalitativno empirično preverjen. Namen raziskave je določiti faktorje, ki vplivajo na občutek osebne odličnosti udeležencev izobraževanja in izdelave kariernega načrta v primerjavi s tistimi, ki se niso karierno izobraževali. Pri kvalitativni analizi je osnovno izkustveno gradivo zbrano med izobraževalnim procesom v 20 esejih in oblikovan paradigmatski model s končno teorijo, na podlagi katere smo izdelali vprašalnik. Kvantitativna raziskava je izvedena s 547 udeleženci in neudeleženci izobraževanja. S statistično analizo podatkov smo z bivariantno analizo testirali linearno povezanost posameznih parov spremenljivk. Pri preverjanju razlik med obema skupinama smo uporabili t-test za neodvisne vzorce. S faktorsko analizo smo ugotavljali, ali se zveze med opazovanimi spremenljivkami lahko pojasnijo z manjšim številom posredno opazovanih spremenljivk ali kazalnikov. Končni model vsebuje tri elemente: (1) odnos do kariere, (2) samopodobo in (3) zaznavanje osebne odličnosti. Vodstvo lahko takoj uporabi rezultate te raziskave pri odločanju. Povečana uspešnost vsake posamezne organizacije je v korist celotne družbe. Raziskava predstavlja izvirni prispevek in daje nova spoznanja, temelječa na paradigmi razumevanja kariere in pomenu njenega načrtovanja, kot motiva odličnosti
Razvoj kadrov v malem podjetju
No full textThe small business sector is often overlooked in human resource development researches, despite representing a large portion of the total economy. Very few studies exist on the subject of human resources development needs analysis in small organisations. Development plans remain mostly unwritten, which can lead to the impression that development is not being implemented or planned and is therefore not valid. This paper presents case study of the existing human resource development system in a small company PAN -JAN d.o.o. The research included 80% of all employees, which is 20 out of 25. The research examined the correlation between the additional education and better business performance, analysis of variance on age and number of courses and discriminant analysis on age, years of service, levels of education and legally required education and training programmes. In discussion are proposed changes or improvements, as well as a human resource development modelKo govorimo o razvoju kadrov, pogosto spregledamo mala podjetja, kljub temu, da predstavljajo največji delež podjetij v gospodarstvu. Na področju razvoja kadrov v malih podjetij ne obstaja veliko raziskav. Plani razvoja kadrov v malih podjetjihobičajno niso definirani, kar ustvarja občutek, da razvoj kadrov v malih podjetjih ne obstaja. Članek predstavlja študijo primera obstoječega sistema razvoja kadrov v malem podjetju PAN -JAN d.o.o. Raziskava je zajela 80% zaposlenih, kar predstavlja 25 zaposlenih od 25. Izdelana je bila korelacija med dodatnim izobraževanjem in boljšim poslovanjem podjetja, analiza variance glede starosti in številom izobraževanj ter diskriminatorna analiza glede starosti, delovne dobe, stopnje iC“Cobrazbe ter zahtevane izobrazbe in usposabljanjem. V sklepu so predlagane spremembe in izboljšave obstoječega sistema kot tudi sam model razvoja kadrov
Stroškovno učinkovito prestrukturiranje na podlagi procesnega pristopa
No full textDifferent authors agree that designing the organizational structure in accordance with the business processes can bring numerous advantages, which improve business performance of the organizational system. This article aims to show how cost-effective restructuring, through modification of organizational structure according to business processes that exist in the organization, can bring numerous benefits. Successful implementation of process organizational model does not necessarily demand large investments, but only adequate structural changes and internal reorganization. The data used in this paper were gathered during the project of restructuring one transportation company from Belgrade, which consulting team from Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade, performed in year 2012.Različni avtorji se strinjajo, da lahko oblikovanje organizacijske strukture v skladu s poslovnimi procesi prinaša številne prednosti, ki izboljšajo poslovno uspešnost organizacijskega sistema. Ta članek želi pokazati, kako lahko stroškovno učinkovito prestrukturiranje, s spremembo organizacijske strukture glede na poslovne procese, ki obstajajo v organizaciji, prinese številne koristi. Uspešno izvajanje procesnega organizacijskega modela ne zahteva nujno velike naložbe, temveč le ustrezne strukturne spremembe ter notranjo reorganizacijo. Podatki, uporabljeni v tem članku, so bili pridobljeni v projektu prestrukturiranja prevoznega podjetja iz Beograda, katero je izvedla svetovalna skupina s Fakultete za organizacijske vede Univerze v Beogradu v letu 2012
Podjetnikov razvoj od osebnih do vodstvenih kompetenc
No full textThis paper is based on a study which investigates the relevance of management competencies in Austrian organizations, focusing on start-ups. The study as well as the existing literature confirms that personal competencies such as ambition, selfconfidence or assertiveness are perceived as more important by start-ups than by established companies. However, further results of the paper show that especially leadership competencies play a major role in developing a growing start-up whereas personal competencies fade into the background and can even have a negative impact on turnover growth. In general, the paper discusses special characteristics of competence classes for start-ups and examines differences and similarities in comparison to established companies. As it has already been indicated, the evidence leads to different and surprising considerations for entrepreneurs and growing start-ups.Razprava temelji na raziskavi, ki proučuje relevantnost managerskih kompetenc v avstrijskih organizacijah s poudarkom na novoustanovljenih podjetjih. Raziskava, pa tudi obstoječa literatura, potrjuje, da veljajo osebne kompetence, kot so ambicioznost, samozavest ali odločnost pri novoustanovljenih podjetjih za pomembnejše kot pri že uveljavljenih podjetjih. Toda nadaljnji rezultati razprave kažejo, da imajo pri razvoju rastočih novoustanovljenih podjetij vodstvene kompetence še posebej veliko vlogo, medtem ko postajajo osebne kompetence čedalje manj pomembne in imajo lahko celo negativni učinek na rast prihodka. V splošnem v članku razpravljamo o posebnih značilnostih posameznih skupin kompetenc pri novoustanovljenih podjetjih in proučujemo razlike in podobnosti v primerjavi z uveljavljenimi podjetji. Kot smo nakazali, dokazi vodijo k drugačnim in presenetljivim obravnavam za podjetnike in rastoča novoustanovljena podjetja
Vpliv vidikov družbeno odgovornega poročanja na poslovno uspešnost
No full textThe aim of our research was to study the impact and purpose of the reporting on socially responsible conduct on the success of corporate operations. The data and information were gathered with the quantitative research method, whereas the instrument for gathering them was a questionnaire that was distributed among 759 large and medium sized organisations from the field of market services in the Republic of Slovenia. We have established that activities aimed at socially responsible conduct are directly connected with the success of corporate operations, especially the revenue (p = 0.001), the profit of a company (p = 0.000), operational growth (p = 0.007) and operational economy (p = 0.002), and are typical for organizations with a larger number of employees (p = 0.032). In this regard, the real estate and construction market activities received the lowest scores. Research results provide theoretical as well as practical benefits for everyone dealing with the planning, implementation and control of sustainable development, as well as socially responsible conduct within the organization.Namen naše raziskave je bil proučiti vpliv in pomen poročanja o družbeno odgovornem ravnanju na uspešnost poslovanja organizacije. Podatke in informacije smo zbrali s kvantitativno metodo raziskovanja, kot pripomoček za zbiranje pa smo uporabili vprašalnik, ki smo ga posredovali vsem 759 velikim in srednje-velikim organizacijam na področjih izvajanja tržnih storitev v Republiki Sloveniji. Ugotovili smo, da imajo aktivnosti družbeno odgovornega ravnanja neposredno povezanost z uspešnostjo podjetij, posebej na prihodek (p=0,001), dobiček podjetja (p=0,000), rast poslovanja (p=0,007), na ekonomičnost poslovanja (p=0,002) ter je značilno za organizacije z večjim številom zaposlenih (p=0,032). Pri tem so najnižje ocenjene dejavnosti poslovanja z nepremičninami in gradbeništva. Izidi iz raziskave ponujajo tako teoretične kot tudi praktične koristi za vse tiste, ki se ukvarjajo z načrtovanjem, izvajanjem in obvladovanjem trajnostnega razvoja in družbeno odgovornega ravnanja v organizaciji
Razvitost države kot determinanta zgodnje podjetniške aktivnosti
No full textOur study is built on the dependence of early-stage entrepreneurial activity on GDP per capita, GDP real growth rate, unemployment rate, inflation rate, investments and public debt of different countries. We divide the early-stage entrepreneurial activity into necessity-driven and improvement-driven opportunistic entrepreneurial activity. To establish the dependencies we have conducted the regression analyses. Our three main findings are: (a) early-stage entrepreneurial activity does depend on our predictors; (b) necessity-driven entrepreneurial activity is negatively correlated to country’s development; and (c) improvement-driven opportunistic entrepreneurial activity is positively correlated to country’s development. Keywords: entrepreneurship, early-stage entrepreneurial activity, economic development indicatorsNaša študija raziskuje vzroke zgodnje podjetniške aktivnosti, pri čemer razlikujemo med podjetniško aktivnostjo zaradi potrebe ter priložnostno podjetniško aktivnostjo zaradi izboljšav. Kot možne vzroke zgodnje podjetniške aktivnosti raziskujemo BDP na prebivalca, realno stopnjo rasti BDP, stopnje nezaposlenosti, stopnje inflacije, investicije ter javni dolg različnih držav. Izstopajo sledeči izsledki regresijske analize, izvedene z namenom ugotavljanja soodvisnosti: (a) zgodnja podjetniška aktivnost je odvisna od predvidenih kazalcev; (b) priložnostna zgodnja podjetniška aktivnost zaradi potrebe je v negativni korelaciji z razvojem proučevane države; ter (c) priložnostna podjetniška aktivnost zaradi izboljšav je pozitivno korelirana z razvojem države
Sistemski pogled na trende na področju managementa tehnologije v najboljših tehnoloških/IKT družbah
No full textIn the last time, new technology generations in many industries are presented every 2-3 years. The next technology revolution is expected to be different from the previous ones because technology is present in every aspect of our society. Technology processes have more and more an interdisciplinary character, therefore must be carried out systematically and if possible in a planned form. From integration of technology processes; to customer insights that drive product and brand extensions; to spotting emerging voids that competitors miss; technology-management trends are of tremendous importance for optimum business growth and profit. The main goal of this paper is to examine particular trends related to technology-management, as well as selected business indicators of the most successful technology/ICT companies in the world. The research methodology was based on the extensive study of innovative activities described in the annual and related reports of the most profitable technology businesses.V zadnjem času v številnih vejah industriuje nove generacije tehnologije predstavijo na vsaka 2-3 leta. Videti je, da bo naslednja tehnološka revolucija drugačna od prejšnjih, ker je tehnologija prisotna v vseh porah družbe. Tehnološki procesi imajo vse bolj interdisciplinaren značaj, zato morajo potekati sistematično in po možnosti na načrtovani način. Trendi managementa tehnologiji ogromnega pomena za rast poslovanja in dobiček: od integracije tehnoloških procesov, poznavanja kupcev, ki poganjajo razvoj izdelkov in blagovnih znamk, odkrivanja pojavljajočih se niš, ki so jih konkurenti spregledali. Poglavitni cilj tega članka je raziskati specifične trende, povezane z managementom tehnologije, v najbolj uspešnih družbah s področja IKT tehnologije na svetu. Raziskava temelji na obsežnem študiju literature o inovativnih aktivnostih in letnih poročil najbolj donosnih družb na podtočju IKT
Povezava med zakasnitvijo objave četrtletnih napovedi dohodka in vsebino objave
No full textThe current study aims to examine the relationship between delay in the announcement of quarterly forecasts of annual earnings and the type of earnings news in a unique context. Running a multiple linear regression on data collected from Rahavard Novin software and the companies’ financial statements, is the method of this study to investigate this relationship. Consistent with the pattern of good news early, bad news late, it was found that there is a positive relationship between the bad news type and the amount of delay in announcing quarterly forecast of annual earnings; so that the firms with negative adjustments in earnings forecast (bad news), on average, have 12 more days delay in the announcement. Considering other variables showed that as coverage percentage - a sign of success - increases, the amount of delay in announcing earnings forecast decreases, but companies with losses per share, on average, have an additional delay of about 6 days. The results obtained indicate that at least, in some industries there is certain time for reporting. Finally, it became clear that in the period after the adoption of the new disclosure instruction, despite the increased deadline, the amount of delay in earnings announcement has declined by about 2 days. In this study, for the first time in Iran, one of the company’s financial news (quarterly forecasts of annual earnings), have been classified into good and bad, based on comparison with the market expectation, and the relationship between the news type and the amount of delay in announcing the news, has been examined.Cilj prikazane raziskave je v specifičnem kontekstu proučiti povezavo med zakasnitvijo objave četrtletnih napovedi dohodka in vsebino objave. Uporabili smo multiplo regresijsko analizo, podatke, ki jih je zbral programski paket Rahavard Novin, in finančna poročila podjetij. V skladu z vzorcem »dobre novice prej, slabe kasneje« ugotavljamo, da obstaja pozitivna povezava med vrsto slabe novice in velikostjo zakasnitve pri objavi prognoze letnih zaslužkov. Firme, pri katerih so napovedi zaslužka negativne (slabe novice) so objavljene s poprečno zakasnitvijo 12 dni. Če upoštevamo še druge spremenljivke, je pokazalo naslednje: če se poveča odstotek pokritja – znak uspešnosti – je zakasnitev manjša, toda pri firmah z izgubo se zakasnitev poveča za dodatnih približno 6 dni. Dobljeni rezultati tudi kažejo, da je za nekatere gospodarske panoge uveljavljen nek čas za poročanje
