The Official Presence of Croatian Higher Education Institutions on Social Networks
Get PDFNew trends constantly emerging on the Internet bring new ways of communication and dissemination of information. Social networks, which have been pre-sent on the Internet for more than 15 years, have lately become a topic of every day conversation, not only among individual users but also institutions. The spread of new technologies affecting even higher education institutions is wit- nessed by a considerable number of researches, papers and discussions about the use of social networks for educatio nal purposes. The key focus of this paper official presence of Croatian higher education institutions, both publicly and privately funded, on social networks. The presence of RSS feeds on web pages of academic institutions was also analysed. RSS was part of this research due to fact that it can be rather easily converted to content on social networks. This paper does not aim to analyse the use of soci al networks as educational tools. It rather focuses on the ways in which social networks can be used to upgrade the current means of communication within an academic community and between the general public and the academic community. The total of 170 intuitions was researched for the purpose of this paper. The gathering of data was conducted in two sessions. The first session was during the academic year of 2009/10 and the second session during the academic year of 2010/11. A comparison of these two data sets shows certain trends in the acceptance of social networks among the monitored intuitions. Additionally, a comparison of the adoption levels of social networks between publicly and priv ately funded institutions is given
Utjecaj informacijskih sustava za podršku odlučivanju na uspješnost poslovanja poduzeća
Get PDFOsnovni cilj ovog rada je ukazati na utjecaj primjene informacijskih sustava za podršku poslovnom odlučivanju na uspješnost poslovanja poduzeća. Menadžment poduzeća koji želi uspješno poslovati treba brzo i adekvatno reagirati ako želi da poduzeće zadrži i osvoji postojeću poziciju na tržištu. Stoga treba osvijestiti činjenicu da poslovno odlučivanje danas nije moguće bez primjene suvremene informacijske tehnologije, odnosno suvremenih informacijskih sustava za podršku odlučivanju. Informacijske tehnologije u mnogim djelatnostima imaju strateško značenje i od njihove primjene ovisi postojanje i daljnja budućnost poduzeća. Informacijske tehnologije omogućuju poduzećima stvaranje novih proizvoda i usluga prema zahtjevima kupaca, čime ostvaruju konkurentsku prednost na tržištu. Ujedno podržavaju proces odlučivanja na svim razinama poslovnog sustava (od operativne i taktičke do strateške razine), omogućuje bolje odlučivanje, pohranjivanje, stvaranje i dijeljenje znanja i odgovornosti među zaposlenicima u poduzeću, a što sve utječe na efikasnost poslovanja. Uvođenje informacijske tehnologije u poslovni sustav dovodi do organizacijskih promjena u poduzećima i zahtjeva reinženjering postojećeg poslovnog procesa, što dovodi do bržeg i kvalitetnijeg donošenja poslovnih odluka i smanjenja troškova poslovanja. Reinženjering i primjena informacijske tehnologije dovodi do stvaranja novih oblika organizacija pa se pojavljuju informacijske, tehnološke i virtualne organizacije, odnosno organizacije budućnosti. Za uspješno poslovanje poduzeća potrebno je izgraditi i svakodnevno koristiti poslovni informacijski sustav koji omogućava prikupljanje, obradu, čuvanje i pristup informacijama kada i gdje je to potrebno, a ujedno menadžeru pruža pouzdanu potporu u odlučivanju. Primjena informacijskih tehnologija od strateškog je značaja za svako poduzeće, jer informacijske tehnologije smanjuju troškove, ubrzavaju administrativne poslove, potiču odlučivanje, jačaju konkurentnost, postaju strateško oružje, povećavaju produktivnost i rad čine ugodnijim, uspješnijim i djelotvornijim.The aim of this paper is to point to the influence of information support systems for decision making on successful business operations.
The company management whishing to do business successfully should act promptly and appropriately in order to achieve and maintain the leading market position. Therefore, companies should bear in mind the fact that successful decision making nowadays is not possible without applying modern information technology, i.e. modern information support systems for decision making.
Information technologies in many areas of business activities have strategic position and both existence and development of a company depend on their application. Information technologies enable creating new products and services tailored to customers' needs, therefore creating a competitive advantage for the company on the market. Moreover, they support the decision making process on all levels of a business system (operational, tactic and strategic), enable improved decision making, archiving, creating and sharing of knowledge and responsibilities amnog the employees in the company and in that way contribute to the efficiency of the business. Introducing information technologies into a business system leads to the organizational changes and requires reengineering the existing business processes and contributes to faster and improved decision making as well as to the reduction of costs.
Reengineering and information technology application creates new forms of organizations: informational, technological and virtual organizations, i.e. organizations of the future. In order to do business successfully, it is necessary to build and use on the daily basis a system which enables collecting, processing, storing and accessing data whenever and wherever it is required, at the same time providing a reliable support to a manager. The application of inforamtion technologies is of strategic importance to each business because information technologies reduce costs, speed up admnistration, encourage decision making, create competitive advantage, become a strategic weapon, increase productivity and make work more comfortable, successful and efficient
