Behavioral and communication styles in the business environment
Poznavanje stilova ponašanja i stilova komunikacije u poslovnom okruženju od velikog su značaja za pojedinca. Pomažu mu u brzom snalaženju i dobrom vladanju u svakoj poslovnoj situaciji. Pravila poslovnog ponašanja temelje se na pravilima poslovnog bontona. Poslovni bonton predstavlja skup normi odnosno uvaženih pravila ponašanja u poslovnom okruženju. Važno ih je primjenjivati u svakoj poslovnoj situaciji, bilo ležernijoj ili ozbiljnijoj. Pod poslovnim okruženjem ne smatra se samo uredski prostor, prostorija za sastanke i slično, već i određeno mjesto izvan samog poduzeća, primjerice restoran, u kojem se sastaju poslovni partneri. Komunikacijski proces označava prijenos poruke od pošiljatelja ka primatelju putem određenog kanala.
U poslovnom okruženju, jasna, točna i pravovremeno zaprimljena poruka od iznimnog je značaja. Stoga je potrebno dobro poznavati poslovnu komunikaciju i komunikacijske stilove. Najčešći oblici komunikacije su verbalna i neverbalna komunikacija, dok su najčešći oblici poslovne komunikacije formalna i neformalna komunikacija. Komunikacijski stilovi su sljedeći: pasivni stil, agresivni stil, pasivno-agresivni stil, asertivni stil i manipulativni stil. Primjenjivanje stilova ponašanja i komunikacije u poslovnom okruženju garancija su dugoročnog uspjeha poslovnih odnosa.Knowledge of behavioral styles and communication styles in a business environment are of great importance to the individual. They help him to manage quickly and behave well in any business situation. The rules of business conduct are based on the rules of business etiquette. Business etiquette is a set of norms or respected rules of conduct in the business environment. It is important to apply them in every business situation, whether more casual or serious. A business environment is not only an office space, a meeting room and the like, but also a specific place outside the company, such as a restaurant, where business partners meet. A communication process means the transmission of a message from the sender to the recipient through a specific channel.
In a business environment, a clear, accurate and timely message is extremely important. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of business communication and communication styles. The most common forms of communication are verbal and nonverbal communication, while the most common forms of business communication are formal and informal communication. Communication styles are as follows: passive style, aggressive style, passive-aggressive style, assertive style, and manipulative style. Applying behavioral and communication styles in a business environment is a guarantee of long-term success of business relationships

Tema ovog rada je „Imidž marke – poslovni slučaj BMW“ koja počinje definiranjem što je marka te koja je uloga loga koji predstavlja najvažniji dio svake marke pa ga se sukladno tome često smatra temeljem identiteta kojeg nastoji izgraditi svaka marka. U radu se govori o vizualnom identitetu te od kojih se sve elemenata sastoji kao i poviješću i procesu stvaranja istoga. Imidž marke se u ovom radu obrađuje na primjeru marke BMW, koja je u svijetu poznata kao simbol za proizvodnju najkvalitetnijih automobila. Uz ovu marku se često veže dobar glas. Uglavnom se podudara s onim što i sama kompanija promovira odnosno vrijednost samog poduzeća i kvalitetu njihovih proizvoda. Razlog zbog kojeg sam izabrala ovu temu je bio interes prema markama. Teorijski dio se objašnjava na poslovnom slučaju brenda BMW-a.The theme of this paper is " Brand image – BMW case study ", which begins with defining what a brand is and what is the role of the logo that represents the most important part of each brand, and accordingly it is often considered the basis of the identity that each brand seeks to build.
