Dinamika malih podjetij v panogi lesarstva v Sloveniji
Get PDFThe conducted research investigates the impact of the dynamics of large enterprises in the wood industry on the dynamics of micro and small enterprises in the wood industry. In the quantitative analysis we use the data, which are based on a sample of micro and small enterprises, and the statistical evidence for the entire population of large enterprises in the wood industry in Slovenia. The conducted research using the selected analytical methods showed a relatively small impact of the dynamics and size structure of large enterprises on the dynamics of micro and small enterprises in the wood industry. On the basis of the empirical results we propose some possible solutions to investigated research, organizational, and policy problems. The proposed solutions are based on the organization of the state regulatory system in a way that will not restrict behaviour of the formal sector, and to use the positive examples and practices of the state institutions, which will promote more efficient economic operation and enterprise behaviour. In addition important is to facilitate an enabling environment for easier obtaining the necessary financial capital for micro and small enterprises at reasonable guarantees and at lower costs of financing, and to introduce additional non-formal forms of education, which would be based on acquiring and promotion of basic business knowledge and business skills.Opravljena raziskava ugotavlja vpliv dinamike velikih podjetij v panogi lesarstva na dinamiko mikro in malih podjetij panogi. V kvantitativni raziskavi uporabljeni podatki temeljijo na izbranem vzorcu mikro in malih podjetij ter celotni populaciji velikih podjetij v panogi lesarstva v Sloveniji. Raziskava je ob pomoči izbranih analitičnih metod pokazala sorazmerno majhen vpliv dinamike in velikostne strukture velikih podjetij na dinamiko mikro in malih podjetij v panogi lesarstva. Na osnovi rezultatov opravljene raziskave so predlagane nekatere rešitve problemov. Predlagane rešitve temeljijo na ureditvi državnega regulatornega sistema na način, ki ne bo omejeval formalnega sektorja, ter na pozitivnih zgledih države, ki bodo spodbujali gospodarno ravnanje. Nadalje omogočanje enostavnejše pridobitve potrebnega finančnega kapitala za mikro in mala podjetja ob sprejemljivih jamstvih in stroških financiranja ter uvedbi dodatne neformalne oblike izobraževanja, ki bi temeljila na pridobivanju temeljnih poslovnih znanj
Pravno urejanje napitnin v igralništvu: primerjalna analiza
Get PDFThe article analyses how tips are regulated in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, United States and some countries with casinos in the European Union, America, Africa and Asia. The key finding is that in the majority of them, tips are not a part of casino revenues, therefore they are taxed totally. Their sharing is agreed with employees in collective contracts of their companies. They are fully taxed. In most countries tips are distributed among other employees. Tips of slot machine departments, treasury departments and receptions are not governed by the law. Employees are entitled to them directly. Paying taxes and contributions is then distinctive for the countries with properly law ordered area (USA and UK). Gaming tips are not part of the gaming service in any the countries included in the analysis.V prispevku avtor analizira pravno ureditev napitnine v državah nekdanje Jugoslavije, ZDA in nekaterih pomembnejših igralniških državah EU, Amerike, Afrike in Azije. Ključna ugotovitev raziskave je, da večina držav napitnine igralnih miz ne obravnava kot prihodka igralnice, delitev le-te pa je v večini držav dogovorjena z zaposlenimi v branžnih oz. podjetniških kolektivnih pogodbah in je od nje potrebno plačati vse davke. V večini držav se vsaj v manjšem deležu deli tudi med ostalo osebje v igralnici. Preostale napitnine v igralništvu zakonodaja praviloma ne ureja. Zaposleni so do nje v večini držav upravičeni neposredno. Plačevanje davkov in prispevkov je tako značilno le za tiste države, kjer imajo podrobneje urejeno to področje v drugih zakonih (npr. ZDA in Velika Britanija). Enotno za vso igralniško napitnino pa velja, da ni obvezni del igralniške storitve
Vrste in vloge instrumentov za zagotavljanje kakovosti visokošolskih zavodov
Get PDFThe article aims at identifying the roles of instruments for higher education institutions’ quality assurance. We define types and differences of the instruments and we present different theories of the instrument’s purposes.
It was found that the instruments for higher education institutions’ quality assurance have just two roles in the institutional quality management: improvement and accountability. These two purposes are not interchangeable, but complementary and in the hierarchical position to one another. Besides, we discovered that the assessment of the higher education institution quality often does not include the applicability assessment of the higher education institution results. This is an external view on quality that is the most reliable, but in practice the most neglected.Cilj prispevka je identifikacija vlog instrumentov zagotavljanja kakovosti visokošolskih zavodov. V prispevku opredelimo instrumente za zagotavljanje kakovosti visokošolskih zavodov, predstavimo razlike med njimi in namene, zaradi katerih se instrumenti uporabljajo. Ugotavljamo, da imajo instrumenti za zagotavljanje kakovosti samo dve vlogi v managementu kakovosti visokošolskih zavodov: izboljševanje delovanja in prikazovanje odgovornega delovanja. Ta dva namena instrumentov nista združljiva, sta komplementarna in sta v hierarhičnem odnosu z vidika managementa kakovosti. Poleg tega ugotavljamo, da presoje kakovosti visokošolskih zavodov pogosto ne vključujejo presoje uporabnosti rezultatov delovanja visokošolskih zavodov. Gre za zunanji vidik kakovosti, ki je med različnimi informacijami najbolj verodostojen, v praksi pa najpogosteje zapostavljen
Simulacija skupinskega odločitvenega procesa in učenja
No full textThe idea of decision analysis – and subsequent learning from the outcomes – is old within Operational Research. Here this approach to continuous improvement of decision outcomes is put one step further within the area of crisis and disaster management. This is done by introducing multiactors making simultaneous decisions with just partial information about each other. Further, decision outcomes are achieved from a simulation model rather than from the real object system.Ideja analize skupinskega odločitvenega procesa in posledično identificiranega učenja ima bogato tradicijo v okviru področja operacijskih raziskav. V prispevku je izveden nov korak v smeri izboljšave rezultatov skupinskih odločitvenih procesov na področju upravljanja v kriznih situacijah. Uvedeno je okolje kjer sodeluje več udeležencev, ki istočasno sprejemajo odločitve na podlagi delnih informacij, ki jih medsebojno izmenjujejo. Člani odločitvene skupine za odločanje uporabljajo simulacijski model, kar ima številne prednosti v primerjavi z delovanjem v realnih sistemih
Image izobraževalne ustanove: študija primera
No full textThis article presents our findings about the factors influencing educational institution’s image. Based on the literature review we composed a web questionnaire which was send to all current students at University of Maribor’s Faculty of Organizational Studies. Based on our research results we found out that eight factors influence educational institution’s image which have various amounts of influence on the educational institutions image. The factor with the most influence is the quality of professors and of their lectures and the second most important factor is the learning content. These two factors come before all of the others in the matter of influencing the educational institutions image. Our basic recommendation is to build on these factors starting with the most important ones first.Članek predstavlja naše ugotovitve o dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na image izobraževalne ustanove. Na podlagi pregleda literature smo sestavili spletni vprašalnik, katerega smo poslali vsem študentom, ki trenutno študirajo na Fakulteti za organizacijske vede Univerze v Mariboru. Glede na rezultate naše raziskave smo ugotovili, da na image izobraževalne ustanove vpliva osem dejavnikov, ki pa imajo različne stopnje vpliva. Dejavnik z največ vpliva je kakovost profesorjev in njihovih predavanj, drugi najpomembnejši dejavnik pa so učne vsebine. Ta dva dejavnika sta glede vpliva na image izobraževalne ustanove pred vsemi ostalimi. Naše osnovno priporočilo je, da naj izobraževalna ustanova gradi na teh dejavnikih, začenši najprej z najpomembnejšimi
Evalvacija izobraževalnega procesa s poudarkom na vojaških vsebinah
Get PDFEvaluation as a process of validity is one of the education elements with high important influence of quality no matter of the number of its repetition. Entirely of validity brings new extra value as a form of aim towards to complete education process. They can be implemented each time process is on again and upgrade them at same period. The significant of quality in education process is something we are very aware of in Slovenian Armed Forces. Senior Staff Course with cooperation with public education institutions offers interesting challenge. The article presents reasons for organizing military education process as mentioned, its importance for Slovenian Armed Forces and evaluation of a process.Evalvacija kot proces vrednotenja je eden izmed elementov izobraževanja, ki pomembno vplivajo na njegovo kakovost ne glede na število njegovih ponovitev. Celovitost vrednotenja prinaša dodano vrednost v obliki novih usmeritev za celoten izobraževalni proces, ki jih lahko z vsako ponovitvijo implementiramo in sproti nadgrajujemo. V Slovenski vojski se zavedamo pomena kakovosti v izobraževalnih procesih. Zanimiv izziv predstavlja organizacija izobraževanja Višje štabnega šolanja v sodelovanju z javnimi izobraževalnimi institucijami. O razlogih za organizacijo takega izobraževanja, njegovem pomenu za Slovensko vojsko in evalvaciji izobraževalnega procesa bo predstavljeno v prispevku
Zagotavljanje uspešnosti metode Šest sigma na podlagi ustrezne identifikacije in izbire Šest sigma projektov: primerjalna študija med Slovenijo in Veliko Britanijo
No full textResults of Six Sigma projects are related to company performance. Successful Six Sigma projects increase customer satisfaction and have many other positive effects on organisations. Success of Six Sigma projects is related to key management decision about how to identify potential projects and which projects to select for final implementation. This research is oriented toward the study of tools used in the phase of Six Sigma project identification and criteria used in the phase of Six Sigma project selection. The purpose of this research is to compare results from manufacturing sector in Slovenia and the UK. Results of this study indicate that management within the organisations tend to identify potential Six Sigma projects with the use of different tools, such as: brainstorming (Slovenia and UK.), followed by Critical To Quality tree (UK.), and interviews and customer visits (Slovenia). Further, the results show that the final decision about Six Sigma projects selection in the UK and Slovenia include different criteria, such as: customer benefit (Slovenia and UK), finance impact (UK) and connection to business strategy (Slovenia). Many companies in the UK as well in Slovenia combine the use of tools and balanced selection criteria at the same time.Rezultati Šest sigma projektov so povezani s poslovanjem urganizacije. Uspešni Šest sigma projekti nam pomagajo povečati zadovoljstvo kupcev in na številne ostale načine pozitivno vplivajo na poslovanje. Uspešnost Šest sigma projektov je povezana z odločitvami managementa organizacije o tem, kako identificirati potencialne Šest sigma projekte in katere izmed njih v nadaljevanju tudi izvajati. Ta raziskava obravanava orodja, ki jih organizacije uporabljajo v fazi identifikacije in izbire Šest sigma projektov v Sloveniji in Veliki Britaniji (VB). Namen raziskave je primerjava proizvodnih sektorjev v Sloveniji in VB. Rezultati kažejo, da management v organizacijah za identifikacijo potencialnih Šest sigma projektov uporablja različna orodja, kot so: viharjenje možganov, diskusije s kupci (Slovenija in VB), kritične parameter kakovosti (VB) in intervjuje s kupci (Slovenija). V nadaljevanju nam rezultati kažejo, da organizacije tv Sloveniji kot v VB pri končni izbiri projektov uporabljajo več meril, kot so: koristi za kupca (Slovenija in VB), finačni učinek (VB) in povezanost projekta s poslovno strategijo (Slovenija). Mnoge organizacije v Sloveniji in VB pri tem hkrati uporablja več orodij in uravnoteženih meril
Poučevanje metode Scrum v sodelovanju s podjetjem za razvoj programske opreme
No full textThe increasing use of agile methods for software development creates the need for these methods to become part of the education of future computer and information science engineers. On the other hand, teaching these methods gives us an opportunity to verify individual agile concepts and their effectiveness. For that reason, project work is an appropriate and frequently used form of teaching that enables students to get acquainted with agile methods and, at the same time, provides case studies for evaluating individual agile concepts. We describe our approach to teaching the Scrum agile method, within the software technology course, in cooperation with a software development company. Students were taught through work on a real project for which a list of requirements was submitted by the company. A co-worker of this company participated throughout the teaching period playing the role of customer’s representative. During their work, students consistently used the Scrum method and at the end of each iteration they evaluated their experience by means of a questionnaire. In the article, the Scrum method is presented first, then a description of work on the project is given and finally the results of the survey are described.Vse večja uporaba agilnih metodologij za razvoj programske opreme zahteva, da učenje teh metodologij postane sestavni del izobraževanja bodočih inženirjev računalništva in informatike. Po drugi strani pa je možno skozi poučevanje teh metodologij preveriti tudi posamezne agilne koncepte in poiskati natančnejše odgovore na vprašanja o njihovi učinkovitosti. Zato se kot najprimernejša oblika poučevanja pogosto uporablja delo na projektih, ki omogočajo, da študenti v praksi spoznajo značilnosti agilnega pristopa, obenem pa služijo kot študije primera za ovrednotenje posameznih agilnih konceptov. V članku opisujemo, kako smo v sklopu predmeta Tehnologija programske opreme izpeljali učenje agilne metode Scrum v sodelovanju s podjetjem za razvoj programske opreme. Učenje je potekalo ob delu na realnem projektu, za katerega je seznam zahtev posredovalo podjetje, sodelavec tega podjetja pa je ves čas sodeloval s študenti kot predstavnik naročnika. Študenti so pri svojem delu dosledno uporabljali metodo Scrum in na koncu vsake iteracije s pomočjo ankete ocenili svoje izkušnje. V članku je najprej na kratko predstavljena metoda Scrum, nato sledi opis poteka dela na projektu, na koncu pa so predstavljeni rezultati ankete
Model izboljšanja vpisa v osnovnošolsko izobraževanje v državi v razvoju po metodi sistemske dinamike
No full textThe system dynamics approach is a holistic way of solving problems in real-time scenarios. This is a powerful methodology and computer simulation modeling technique for framing, analyzing, and discussing complex issues and problems. System dynamics modeling is often the background of a systemic thinking approach and has become a management and organizational development paradigm. This paper proposes a system dynamics approach for studying the importance of infrastructure facilities on the quality of primary education system in a developing nation. The model is built using the Cross Impact Analysis (CIA) method of relating entities and attributes relevant to the primary education system in any given community. The CIA model enables us to predict the effects of infrastructural facilities on the community’s access of primary education. This may support policy makers to take more effective actions in campaigns that attempt to improve literacy.Modeli sistemske dinamike so celovita metoda reševanja kompleksnih problemov s pomočjo scenarijev. Omogočajo, da skupaj z metodo računalniške simulacije analiziramo kompleksne probleme. Modeliranje z metodo sistemske dinamike je pogosto osnova za sistemsko razmišljanje in predstavlja managersko in organizacijsko razvojno paradigmo. V članku je opisan pristop na osnovi sistemske dinamike pri raziskavi pomembnosti infrastrukturnih zmogljivosti na kakovost osnovnega izobraževanja v državi v razvoju. Model je izdelan s pomočjo navzkrižne analize vpliva (Cross Impact Analysis - CIA), metode, ki primerja entitete in atribute značilne za osnovno izobraževanje v neki dani skupnosti. Model CIA omogoča, da predvidimo vpliv infrastrukturnih zmogljivosti na dostopnost te skupnosti do osnovnega izobraževanja. To lahko pomaga javnim odločevalcem, da bolj učinkovito planirajo akcije, ki poskušajo izboljšati pismenost
