Specifičnost organiziranja poslovnih tokov na področju obrambe
Get PDFThis paper analyses specific organization of business flows in the field of the defence sector in primary production activities, sub supplier and supplier in return activities, in middleman and trade flows within the defence chain. The original survey results are presented for 64 Slovenian enterprises in the defence technological and industrial base activities. The Slovenian defence sector enterprises are still mainly focusing to the Slovenian markets. There are rare enterprises that are specialized into the foreign markets and on the utilising of opportunities from the economies of scale of the enlarged European Union markets and particularly on the utilising of the policies and measures that are provided by the common European defence technological and industrial base. On the other hand the import of the defence products into Slovenia from the enlarged European Union has increased substantially.V prispevku analiziramo specifično organiziranje poslovnih tokov na področju obrambnega sektorja v primarni proizvodni dejavnosti, pod dobaviteljski in pod izvajalski dejavnosti ter v posredniški in trgovski vpetosti v obrambne verige. S pomočjo izvirne ankete izvedene v 64 slovenskih podjetjih na področju obrambno tehnološke in industrijske baze smo ugotovili, da so slovenska podjetja še zmeraj v pretežni meri usmerjana na domači trg. Redka podjetja so specializirana na tuje trge in na koriščenje možnosti ekonomije obsega večjega trga in zlasti koriščenja politik in ukrepov, ki izhajajo iz skupne evropske obrambne tehnološke in industrijske baze. Na drugi strani se je uvoz orožja in streliva, njunih delov in pribora v Slovenijo iz držav razširjene Evropske unije občutno povečal
Doseganja ciljev Lizbonske strategije: EU-27 in Slovenija
Get PDFAdopted by the European Council in 2000, the Lisbon Strategy is a long-term strategy whose main target is to make Europe the most competitive, dynamic and knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010. During the 2005 mid-term review, the Lisbon Strategy refocused its two main targets on economic growth and employment, and formally integrated the Cohesion policy into its implementation. In spite of the review, the efforts to meet the strategic targets have proven insufficient at both the EU and Slovenian levels. While certain progress has been observed, the strategy should be further adjusted, coordinated and supplemented at the national and pan-European levels so that the Lisbon targets can be attained. The article investigates the current stage of the achievement of the targets, using the time-distance method to calculate the time lead or lag in implementing the Lisbon Strategy targets at the levels of the European Union and Slovenia.Lizbonska strategija, ki jo je Evropski svet sprejel leta 2000, predstavlja dolgoročno strategijo, katere glavni cilj je, da postane Evropa do leta 2010 najbolj konkurenčno, dinamično ter na znanju temelječe gospodarstvo na svetu. V letu 2005 je prišlo do reforme strategije, ki je za glavna cilja postavila osredotočenje na gospodarsko rast in zaposlovanje ob tem pa formalno umestila kohezijsko politiko v izvajanje Lizbonske strategije. Kljub reformi pa so se dosedanji napori za doseganje strateških ciljev izkazali za nezadostne, tako na nivoju Unije kot Slovenije. Viden je sicer določen napredek, a potrebna so dodatna prilagajanja, usklajevanja in dopolnjevanja strategije na nacionalni ter vseevropski ravni, da bi lizbonski cilji lahko bili doseženi. Prav trenutno stanje uresničevanja ciljev preučujemo v članku, kjer z uporabo metode časovne distance izračunavamo časovna odstopanja dejanskega stanja od ciljev zapisanih v Lizbonski strategiji na nivoju Evropske unije ter Slovenije
Vpliv gospodarske rasti na dinamiko podjetij: empirična raziskava v slovenskem nekmetijskem sektorju gospodarstva
No full textThe aim of this paper was to test the hypothesized U-shaped relationship between economic development and dynamics of enterprises. The dynamics of enterprises is influenced by the achieved economic development. This paper first analyzed the association between the regional gross value added (GVA) growth rate and different measures of enterprises dynamics from Slovenian data from 2000 to 2005. Our graphical analyses indicated that 1) the rate of gross entry and GVA growth rate were linearly and negatively associated; 2) the association between the rate of gross exit and GVA growth rate is best represented by the downward U-shape function (Ç); and 3) a U-shaped association exists between the rate of net entry and GVA growth rate. The size of the impact was estimated using the regression analysis between the net entries as dependent variable and GVA growth as independent variable that showed the best fit. According to the results, 1) economic growth significantly impacts net entries; 2) the hypothesized U-shaped relationship between net entries and economic growth was confirmed as the Slovenian net entries decrease until the GVA growth rate reaches 10% yet increase when the growth in GVA is higher than 10%; and 3) a ‘natural rate’ of entrepreneurship is to some extent governed by ‘laws’ related to the economic growth rate. The results further indicate that the average net entry rate should be increased by 0.787 units (%) as a result of a region’s specific environmental factors. This research confirms the theoretical assumptions that have previously been sparsely tested empirically and even rarely supported by results. Therefore, our results represent a contribution to the robustness of the theoretical as well as empirical clarification of the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development.Cilj prispevka je testiranje predpostavke o U obliki povezave med gospodarskim razvojem in dinamiko podjetij. Na dinamiko podjetij vpliva doseženi gospodarski razvoj. V prispevku najprej analiziramo povezavo med regionalno stopnjo rasti bruto dodane vrednosti (BDV) in različnimi merili dinamike podjetij na osnovi slovenskih podatkov v obdobju od leta 2000 do 2005. Grafične analize so pokazale 1) linearno in negativno povezanost med stopnjo vstopov podjetij in stopnjo rasti BDV; 2) da je povezava med stopnjo izstopov podjetij in rastjo BDV najbolje ponazorjena z navzdol obrnjeno funkcijo U oblike (Ç); in 3) da je funkcijska oblika povezanosti med stopnjo neto vstopov podjetij in rastjo BDV U oblike. Obseg vpliva smo ocenili s pomočjo regresijske analize med stopnjo neto vstopov podjetij kot odvisno spremenljivko in rastjo BDV kot neodvisno spremenljivko, ker je bila odvisna spremenljivka s slednjo najbolje pojasnjena. Rezultati kažejo, 1) gospodarska rast statistično značilno vpliva na neto vstope podjetij; 2) pričakovana U oblika povezave med neto vstopi in gospodarsko rastjo je bila potrjena, saj so slovenski neto vstopi padali, dokler ni bila dosežena 10-odstotna rast BDV, in naraščali, ko je bila rast BDV večja od 10%; in 3) ‘naravno stopnjo’ podjetništva do neke mere določa gospodarska rast. Rezultati tudi kažejo, da je bila povprečna stopnja neto vstopov podjetij večja za 0,787 enote (%) in je posledica specifičnih okoljskih dejavnikov regije. Rezultati raziskave potrjujejo teoretične predpostavke, ki so bile doslej empirično testirane le v redkih primerih in še redkeje podprte z rezultati. Zato rezultati pričujoče raziskave prispevajo k boljšemu razumevanju teoretičnih in empiričnih povezav med podjetništvom in gospodarskim razvojem
Izzivi novih tehnologij in šola bodočnosti
No full textThe era of advanced technology claims a different individual. The individual that would undisturbed function in the era of digitalization and would better perceive and protect our environment with the help of accomplishments and benefits of advanced information and communication technology (ICT). There is no better time for learning and concretization of these values as in school. Nowadays pupils, the pupils of digital era, are more and more experienced in the usage of contemporary media and networks. That is why they require the modification of conditions and teachers’ role in the school. Will new information and multimedia or hypermedia support for classrooms and new didactical ideas improve learning results, and stimulate innovation and greater pleasure towards learning and knowledge? All these questions will be answered in our contribution.Doba napredne tehnologije zahteva drugačnega posameznika; takšnega, ki bo lahko nemoteno deloval v dobi digitalizacije in bo lahko s pomočjo znanj in prednosti napredne informacijsko komunikacijske tehnologije bolje spoznal in varoval okolje. Ni boljšega časa za učenje in konkretiziranje takih vrednot kot v šoli. Današnji učenci, učenci digitalne dobe, so vse bolj vešči v uporabi sodobnih medijev in mrež, s čimer zahtevajo spreminjanje razmer v šoli kot instituciji in tudi spremenjeno vlogo učiteljev. Bodo nove informacijsko in multimedijsko oz. hipermedijsko podprte učilnice in nove didaktične ideje izboljšale učne rezultate in spodbudile inovativnost in večje veselje do učenja in znanja? To se sprašujemo in na to bomo skušali v našem prispevku odgovoriti
Vpliv projektne zrelosti organizacije na uspešnost priprave evropskih projektov
Get PDFThis paper looks at the issues in the preparation and application of European Projects Proposals. Our research set out to determine whether or not there is a significant and positive correlation between project management maturity levels, and approval of European Projects Proposals. We collected data and information from 194 Slovenian enterprises, and other organizations, that submitted proposals for European Project funding relating to the increase of competitiveness of small, medium, and large companies with up to 700 employees (as of 2005). The results of statistical analysis, and testing of the basic thesis, have shown, that a higher level of project management maturity does not affect the preparation and application effectiveness of European Projects Proposals. We have designed a model of a process for the preparation and applications of European Projects Proposals. This process is presented in the final section of this paper. The model includes all of the main activities and decision points which should be executed during the preparation and application of any European Project Proposal.V prispevku je predstavljena problematika priprav in prijav na evropske projekte in uspešnost na razpisih. S kvantitativno raziskavo smo proučevali ali v obravnavanih podjetjih in drugih organizacijah, v katerih so pripravili prijave na razpise za evropske projekte, obstaja signifikantna in pozitivna korelacija med projektno zrelostjo organizacije in odobrenimi evropskimi projekti. Podatke in informacije smo zbirali na populaciji vseh 194 slovenskih organizacij v katerih so oddali predlog evropskega projekta v sklopu javnega razpisa za povečanje konkurenčnosti malih, srednjih in velikih podjetij do 700 zaposlenih v letu 2005. Iz izidov statistične analize, pridobljenih podatkov in informacij, ter preverjanja temeljne teze je razvidno, da višje stopnje projektne zrelosti organizacij značilno ne vplivajo na uspešnost priprave in prijave na evropski projekt. V zadnjem delu pripevka predstavljamo model procesa za pripravo in prijavo evropskega projekta. Model vsebuje praktične aktivnosti in odločitve, ki naj bi jih prijavitelji upoštevali pri pripravi in prijavi na katerikoli evropski projekt
Management projektov v zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo
Get PDFThe purpose of the paper is to deal with the organizational support of project management in institutes of public health at secondary level in terms of training, organizational structures and motivation. On the basis of the findings, we aimed at designing an organizational structure that supported a more effective implementation of projects. In the empirical part of the paper, a quantitative study into the views of employees in nine institutes of public health in Slovenia involved in projects (institutes of public health in Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj, Nova Gorica, Koper, Novo mesto, Ravne na Koroškem and Murska Sobota) is presented. The questionnaire was completed by 83 employees who were involved in project planning, implementation and controlling in a public institute. It was concluded that the training of the contractors as well as motivation positively affected the successfulness of project realization. We designed a proposals for the organizational support environment of project management in institutes of public health at secondary level. The results of our research are useful for change makers and contractors in institutes of public health and other organizations.Namen prispevka je obravnavati podporno organizacijsko okolje managementa projektov v zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo na sekundarni ravni iz vidika usposabljanja, struktur organiziranosti ter motiviranja in na osnovi ugotovitev oblikovati organizacijsko strukturo, ki bo podpirala uspešnejše izvajanje projektov. V empiričnem delu prispevka smo opravili kvantitativno raziskavo sodelavcev v devetih Zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo v Sloveniji (Zavodi za zdravstveno varstvo Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj, Nova Gorica, Koper, Novo mesto, Ravne na Koroškem in Murska Sobota), ki so udeleženi pri projektih. Anketni vprašalnik je izpolnilo 83 sodelavcev, ki so bili udeleženi pri planiranju, izvedbi in kontroliranju projektov v javnem zavodu. Ugotovili smo, da usposabljanje izvajalcev projektov in motiviranje pozitivno vplivata na uspešnost realizacije projektov. Zasnovali smo predloge za podporno organizacijsko okolje za management projektov v zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo na sekundarni ravni. Učinki našega raziskovanja bodo koristni za snovalce sprememb in izvajalce projektov v zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo ter drugih organizacijah
Vpliv menedžerjev na uspešnost uvajanja rešitev ERP
No full textLately, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been implemented in public organizations and organizations without competition in the marketplace. It is the ERP system that is almost as badly needed for the competitiveness and success of those organizations in the marketplace. The main reason lies in the fact that operating costs have to be reduced and the optimization of business processes is an option which nowadays is normally implemented together with new ERP. The success rate of ERP implementation remains very low with up to a 90% failure rate, as it is quoted in a lot of researches. Critical success factors (CSF) which influence successful ERP implementation are identical in all organizations. The main goal of this research is to find out the managers’ impact on the critical success factors and thus their impact on the successful ERP implementation. Top management support is the most important critical success factor for successful ERP implementation, regardless of the fact whether the organization is on the market or not.V zadnjem času rešitve ERP uvajajo tudi organizacije v javnem sektorju in druge, ki na trgu nimajo konkurence, medtem ko je za konkurenčnost in uspešnost tistih na trgu rešitev ERP skoraj nujno potrebna. Razlog je predvsem v tem, da morajo tudi te svoje stroške poslovanja vse bolj zmanjševati, kar poskušajo rešiti z optimizacijo poslovnih procesov, ki se danes praviloma izvaja skupaj z uvajanjem rešitve ERP. Stopnja uspešnosti projektov uvajanja rešitev ERP je še vedno nizka, saj raziskave navajajo tudi do 90% neuspešnost. Na uspešnost uvedbe rešitev ERP vplivajo številni ključni dejavniki uspeha, ki so podobni v vseh organizacijah. Namen raziskave je ugotoviti vpliv menedžerjev na ključne dejavnike uspeha in s tem njihov vpliv na uspešnost uvajanja rešitev ERP. Najpomembnejši ključni dejavnik, ki vpliva na uspešnost uvajanja rešitev ERP, je podpora najvišjega vodstva; ne glede na to, ali je organizacija na trgu ali ne
Poslovodenje znanja v hotelski dejavnosti pred in po vstopu v EU: Primer Slovenije
No full textThe paper deals with the impact of the EU entry on knowledge management in the hotel industry in Slovenia. For this purpose, the empirical research on knowledge management was carried out among hotel managers. It explored the changes in knowledge management between 2003 and 2006; that is before and after Slovenia entered the EU. The research revealed a progress in this period of time in knowledge management goals definition, transformation of not-owned into owned knowledge, inclusion of knowledge management in business reports, identification and elimination of the gaps between planned and actual knowledge. On the other hand, there was no further progress in the field of strategies and policy of knowledge management, perception of the importance of knowledge management’s measurement, development of measures of knowledge management and diminishment of barriers to knowledge development. Further, several recommendations are suggested for hotel managers.Članek proučuje vpliv vstopa v Evropsko unijo na poslovodenje znanja v hotelski dejavnosti v Sloveniji. V ta namen je bila izvedena empirična raziskava o poslovodenju znanja med managerji v hotelski dejavnosti. Z njo smo ugotavljali spremembe v poslovodenju znanja med leti 2003 in 2006, torej v času pred in po vstopu Slovenije v Evropsko unijo. V tem časovnem obdobju je bil ugotovljen napredek v opredeljevanju ciljev, spreminjanju znanja, ki ni v lasti podjetij, v znanje, ki ga imajo podjetja v svoji lasti, napredek v vključevanju poslovodenja znanja v poslovna poročila, identificiranju in odpravljanju razmikov med načrtovanim in dejanskim znanjem. Na drugi strani pa ni bilo zaznanega napredka na področju strategij in politike poslovodenja znanja, zaznavanju pomembnosti merjenja poslovodenja znanja, razvoju kazalcev za poslovodenje znanja in zmanjševanju ovir za poslovodenja znanja. Podani so predlogi hotelskim managerjem za izboljšanje poslovodenja znanja
