    Diplomski rad analizom literature i dosadašnjih istraživanja predstavlja prethodna saznanja u vezi s upravljanjem ljudskim resursima, motivacije i razlike u motivaciji između obiteljskih i neobiteljskih zaposlenika. Pojam upravljanje ljudskim resursima odnosi se na menadžersku funkciju, koja se sastoji od niza povezanih aktivnosti koje su usmjerene na osiguravanje potrebnog broja kvalificiranih zaposlenika koji ostvaruju postavljene ciljeve poduzeća. Motivacija svakog zaposlenika definira se kao proces kojim osoba na temelju vanjskih ili unutarnjih poticaja identificira neku potrebu ili želju, što ju potiče na ponašanje koje će omogućiti ostvarivanje nekog cilja te na taj način zadovoljavanje potrebe ili želje. Obiteljska poduzeća podrazumijevaju uključenost više generacija obitelji s jedne strane i neobiteljskih zaposlenika s druge strane. Menadžment u obiteljskim poduzećima susreće se s dodatnim izazovima motiviranja obiteljskih i neobiteljskih zaposlenika. Teorijski okvir rada temelji se na istraživanju za stolom, odnosno prikupljanju i analiziranju odgovarajuće stručne literature. Primarno istraživanje provodilo se metodom studije slučaja poduzeća Grad-Export d.o.o. za koju se koristilo više metoda i izvora podataka, kao što su anketiranje zaposlenika, intervjuiranje suvlasnika i direktora poduzeća. Predmet istraživanja je motivacija na radnom mjestu s naglaskom na razlike u motivaciji obiteljskih i neobiteljskih zaposlenika u obiteljskom poduzeću Grad-Export d.o.o., koje ostvaruje kontinuirani rast i razvoj poslovanja. Istraživanjem se zaključuje kako su zaposlenici iznimno zadovoljni odnosom menadžmenta prema njima. Upravljanje ljudskim resursima provodi se strateški, bez razlika s obzirom na činjenicu pripada li zaposlenik obitelji suvlasnika ili ne, ali u budućnosti bi bilo dobro koristiti 12 predloženih dodatnih financijskih i nefinancijskih motivacijskih strategija i tehnika. Fokus bi trebao biti na osnaživanju zaposlenika, odnosno njihovu motiviranju za učenjem novih znanja i vještina.The thesis, based on the analysis of the literature and previous research, presents previous knowledge regarding human resource management, motivation and differences in motivation between family and non-family employees. The term human resource management refers to a management function that consists of a series of related activities aimed at providing the required number of qualified employees who achieve the set objectives of the company. The motivation of each employee is defined as a process by which a person based on external or internal stimulus identifies a need or desire, as it encourages conduct that will enable the realization of a goal, thus satisfying the needs or desires. Family businesses include the involvement of multiple generations of families on the one hand and non-family employees on the other. Management in family businesses faces additional challenges in motivating family and non-family employees. The theoretical framework of the paper is based on desk research, collection and analysis of relevant professional literature. Primary research was conducted using the case study method of the company Grad-Export d.o.o., for which multiple methods and data sources were used. The research is based on surveying employees and interviewing co-owners and directors of the company. The subject of the research is workplace motivation with a focus on differences in the motivation of family and non-family employees in the family company Grad-Export d.o.o. The company is achieving continued growth and business development. The research concludes that employees are extremely satisfied with the attitude of the management towards them. Human resource management is carried out strategically, regardless of whether the employee belongs to the family of a co-owners or not. In the future, it is suggested to use 12 additional financial and non-financial motivation techniques. The focus should be on empowering employees and their motivation to acquire new knowledge and skills

    The main goal of this research was to compare destination images of five Croatian islands (Krk, Loπinj, Pag, Hvar and Vis). The islands were chosen among the twelve largest and most visited Croatian islands. The choice was based on their distinctiveness which had been examined in a preliminary study. An anonymous questionnaire, measuring different attributes of destination image (entertainment, culture, gastronomy, nature and pricing) was given to a sample of students at various study programmes. Participants had to evaluate the destination image for each island, and then rank the islands according to each attribute, in order to measure their relative destination image. The relative destination image could differ from the absolute image and therefore be of crucial importance in choosing a particular destination, especially when choices are limited due to financial or other obstacles. The obtained results were compared and discussed taking into account previous participants’ experiences of visiting a particular island. Additionally, the main sources of perceived destination image were analysed for the participants who did not have direct visiting experience. Based on the obtained results, practical recommendations for targeted marketing management of the future island destination images were given

    Analiza upotrebe „Fotkaone“ kao interaktivnog alata u organizaciji događanja

    No full text
    Ovaj rad predočio je analizu utjecaja i doprinos interaktivnih alata na organizaciju događanja te svjesnost ispitanika o poznavanju „fotkaone“. Glavni je cilj rada utvrditi upoznatost ispitanika s „fotkaonom“ i doprinosom koje taj alat ima u kreiranju doživljaja na manifestaciji. U radu su opisani interaktivni alati u kreiranju događanja, ali i opisani interaktivni elementi koji svojim tehnološkim napretkom poput prikazivanja fotografija na LED videozidovima oduševljavaju publiku za vrijeme održavanja događanja. Istraživanje je pokazalo da „fotkaona“ kao interaktivni alat pozitivno utječe na kreiranje doživljaja publike na događanju te da interaktivni alati mogu poslužiti kao direktna komunikacija s publikom u vidu dogovaranja vremena i mjesta održavanja te najsitnijih detalja poput slanja potencijalnog jelovnika publici, za kojeg sami izražavaju želje. Upravljanje događanjima poznatije je pod nazivom: event management. Turizam danas više nije samo tranzit iz jedne lokacije u drugu već se orijentira na pružanje iskustava i neopipljivih elemenata, a sve to najčešće kroz manifestacije i događanja. Događanja nisu kao i turističke atrakcije fiksna i nepromjenjiva, ali također imaju veliku ulogu u privlačenju turista. Potrebno je dobro istražiti mjesto i vrijeme održavanja, svrhu održavanja i isplanirati organizaciju određenog događanja u najsitnije detalje kako bi sve bilo kao što je isplanirano i za što pripreme mogu potrajati i mjesecima. Istraživanje koje se provelo za potrebe ovoga rada, ukazalo je na nužnost korištenja interaktivnih alata prilikom organiziranja manifestacije radi lakše komunikacije publike i organizatora, predstavljanja sadržaja vizualnim putem u obliku videa i slika te pristupačnost i jednostavnost korištenja interaktivnih alata bilo kada i bilo gdje.This paper presents the analysis of the impact of interactive tools on the organization of events as well as the respondents' perception of „fotkaona/photo booth“. The main objective of this paper is to determine the respondents' knowledge of „fotkaona/photo booth“ and the contribution of this tool in the creation of event experience. Interactive tools for event creation are described, as well as the interactive elements which captivate event participants by their advanced technological features such as display of photographs on LED video walls during the events. The research has demonstrated that „fotkaona/photo booth“ as an interative tool has an impact on event participants, and that interactive tools can be used as a direct communication with the participants in relation to elements ranging from time and venue of the event to the smallest details such as delivery of menu choices to the participant, who then may select their preferences. The organization of events is today known as event management. Contemporary tourism is not only a transit from one location to another, but it is based on the provision of experiences and perception of intangible elements mostly by means of various manifestations and events. Unlike tourist attractions, events are not fixed or inalterable, yet they also play a great role in attracting the tourists. When organizing an event, it is necessary to make a thorough research of the venue and time schedule of the event as well as its purpose; the event must be planned to the smallest details, which can sometimes take a few months. The research carried out for the purposes of this paper indicated the necessity of the use of interactive tools when organizing an event for the purposes of easier communication between the participants and the organizer, presentation of contents in video and picture formats, as well as for availability and user- friendliness of interactive tools which may be used anytime and anywhere

    Primjena društveno odgovornog poslovanja sve je popularnija praksa brojnih poduzeća, prvenstveno zato što se pokazalo kako su koristi od društvene odgovornosti prisutne u mnogim dimenzijama poslovanja. U suvremenom poduzetništvu društveno odgovorno poslovanje ističe se kao osnova za ostvarenje konkurentske prednosti na tržištu. Danas postoje mnogobrojna poslovna istraživanja koja dokazuju kako upravo održive poslovne prakse utječu na povećanje poslovnih prihoda ili tržišnih udjela pojedinih tvrtki, jačaju korporativni ugled a samim time postaju atraktivnije za investicijska ulaganja. Društveno odgovorno poslovanje postaje poželjno u svim poslovnim sektorima pa tako i u turizmu. Uloga i značaj društveno odgovornih praksi u turizmu može se tumačiti kao odgovor na sve češća pitanja o neodrživosti nekih od temeljnih postavki suvremenog turizma. Kontinuiranim preispitivanjem upotrebe voda, mora, zraka, šuma, prirodne i kulturne baštine i sl. do izražaja sve više dolazi potreba za društveno odgovornim intervencijama s kojima bi se spriječilo daljnje eksploatiranje javnih dobara i s tim povezano smanjenje kvalitete života domicilnog stanovništva neke turističke destinacije. Analizom poslovanja Palače Lešić Dimitri prepoznate su mnoge inicijative društveno odgovornog poslovanja, kao što su odnos prema zaposlenicima, briga za zajednicu, sponzorstva i donacije značajnih projekata te briga za okoliš. Palača Lešić Dimitri ističe se kao vrlo rijedak pozitivan primjer filantropske dimenzije društveno odgovornog poslovanja.Implementation of socially responsible way of doing business has become common practice with numerous companies for the reason it creates multi-dimensional benefits. Present day entrepreneurship sees socially responsible business as the foundation for achieving competitive edge on the market. Nowadays many a business research have proven how it is that precisely sustainable practices influence on the increase of operating income or market shares of certain companies, building up a corporate reputation at the same time making them more attractive for investments. Socially responsible business is becoming desirable in all business sectors, tourism included. The role and significance of socially responsible tourism practices can be interpreted as a response to all the more frequently raised issues regarding unsustainability of some of the bases of modern tourism. By continuous questioning the usage of water, sea, air, land, natural and cultural heritage etc., there is growing necessity for socially responsible interventions in order to prevent further exploitation of public goods and consequent decrease of the quality of life for the local community in a tourist destination. The analysis of Lešić Dimitri entrepreneurship displays a variety of initiatives of socially responsible business, such as treating their employees, caring for local community, sponsorships and donations to significant projects and events, as well as awareness for the environment. Lešić Dimitri Palace stands out as a rarely positive and inspirational example of how socially responsible business can enter into a truly philanthropic dimension

    No full text
    U završnom radu se prikazuje situacija prilikom odlučivanja unutar jednog poduzeća o izlasku na novo tržište. Postoje različiti načini izlaska na inozemno tržište, a upravo su isti, u ovom završnom radu, analizirani na primjeru farmaceutske industrije. Za izradu završnog rada provedeno je sekundarno istraživanje, tzv. istraživanje za stolom. Dana je definicija i pojam tržišta farmaceutskih proizvoda, kao i čimbenici koji utječu na odabir vrste izlaska na inozemno tržište. Ti čimbenici su strateški čimbenici, čimbenici okruženja i transakcijski čimbenici te analiza navedenih čimbenika omogućava donošenje strateške odluke vezane uz izlazak na međunarodno tržište. Također, opisani su i načini izlaska na inozemno tržište od direktnoga i indirektnoga izvoza, licence, zajedničkoga ulaganja, franšize, strateških saveza, direktnih stranih ulaganja te spajanja i akvizicija. Prikazana su kretanja farmaceutske industrije u Hrvatskoj, Europskoj Uniji i svijetu. Na primjeru poduzeća Jasika d.o.o., kako bi se došlo do pravilnog načina izlaska na novo tržište, provedena je analiza poslovanja poduzeća, kao i SWOT analiza poduzeća te PEST analiza farmaceutske industrije. Analizom se utvrdilo kako poduzeće ima pozitivne financijske rezultate čiji prihodi rastu iz godine u godinu, kao i dobit. Također, utvrdilo se kako većinu svojih prihoda ostvaruje na domaćem tržištu te kako postoji potencijal za povećanje prihoda iz inozemstva. Poduzeće posjeduje dobro organizirane logističke centre kao i vlastiti razvijeni vozni park te dugogodišnje iskustvo na hrvatskome tržištu. Posluje već dugi niz godina na tržištu dijagnostičke opreme u Bosni i Hercegovini i Srbiji te posjeduje određena znanja o navedenim tržištima. Upravo zbog ove činjenice autor smatra kako bi poduzeće trebalo uložiti dodatna sredstva u ispunjavanje uvjeta vezano za skladištenje i promet lijekovima u Srbiji i Bosni i Hercegovini, koji će mu omogućiti sudjelovanje na tržištu farmaceutske opreme u Srbiji te Bosni i Hercegovini. Autor prema rezultatima istraživanja predlaže direktno ulaganje u stranu zemlju.The final paper outlines how strategic factors, environmental factors and transactional factors and the analyses of these factors make possible strategic decisions related to entering the international market. It also describes the ways of entering the foreign market from direct and indirect exports, licenses, joint ventures, franchises, strategic alliances, foreign direct investments to mergers and acquisitions. The trends of the pharmaceutical industry in Croatia, the European Union and the World are presented. In order to find the right way to enter a new market, an analysis of a company operations was performed on the example of the firm Jasika Ltd., as well as a SWOT analysis of the company and a PEST analysis of the pharmaceutical industry. The analysis has shown that the company has positive financial results whose revenues, as well as profits, increase year after year. It also reveals that it generates most of its revenues on the domestic market and that there is a possibility of increasing revenues from abroad. The company has well-organized logistics centers as well as its own developed rolling stock and many years of experience in the Croatian market. The company has been operating for many years in the markets of diagnostic equipment in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, and has some knowledge of these markets. Due to this fact, the author believes that the company should invest additional funds in meeting the conditions related to the storage and sale of drugs in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will allow it to participate in the pharmaceutical equipment markets in above countries. According to the results of the research, the author suggests direct investment in foreign countries

    Svima nam je poznata uzrečica “Vrijeme je novac” pa tako i u pogledu financijskog poslovanja svake tvrtke. Da bi se uprihodio novac, potrebno je zadovoljiti različita svojstava, a jedan od tih je i izdavanje računa. Da bi netko mogao uplatiti novac za izdanu uslugu ili proizvod, potrebno je isporučiti račun i dostaviti ga na dogovorenu adresu. U vremenu kada je tehnologija ušla u sva područja poslovanja, tako i u područje financija i dostave računa, ne iznenađuje osmišljavanje što bržeg načina dostave računa koji je također zakonski odobren. E-mail je odavno zamijenio pisma, tako je i s računima. Do sada su se računi slali poštom, u papirnatom obliku, a za dostavu istih najčešće su se koristile usluge pošte. U prosjeku, na isporuku računa čekalo se nekoliko dana, za potvrdu o primitku isto toliko. Danas je osmišljen elektronički servis koji u mnogočemu olakšava taj proces te ujedno nudi dodatne mogućnosti uz samo slanje e-računa. Račun se pretvara u digitalni oblik pa umjesto za nekoliko dana, račun je sada na željenoj adresi u samo nekoliko sekundi. Uz to, dobije se potvrda o primitku i statusu e-računa, e-račun se automatski arhivira u elektroničkom obliku i može mu se pristupiti u bilo kojem trenutku. Takav način dostave e-računa izbacuje papir iz svakodnevne upotrebe i stvara velike uštede, kako poduzećima tako i gospodarstvu. Ekološki je mnogo prihvatljiviji i nudi tvrtkama povećanje konkurentnosti na tržištu ubrzanjem poslovnih procesa.We are all familiar with the saying "Time is money" and thus in terms of the financial operations of each company. In order to earn money, it is necessary to satisfy various properties, and one of them is issuing invoices. For someone to pay us money for a service or product that has been issued, we need to deliver the invoice and deliver it to the address agreed in advance. At a time when technology has entered all areas of business, including finance and invoice delivery, it is not surprising to devise the fastest possible way to deliver invoices, which is also legally approved. Email has long since replaced letters, and so have the invoices. Until now, invoices had been sent by mail, in paper form, and postal services were most often used to deliver them. On average, the delivery of the invoice was waited for several days, for the confirmation of receipt as much. Today, an electronic service has been designed that greatly facilitates this process and offers additional options in addition to sending invoices. The invoice is converted to digital form so instead of in a few days, the invoice is now at the desired address in just a few seconds. In addition, an acknowledgment of receipt and status of the invoice is obtained, the invoice is automatically archived in electronic form and can be accessed at any time. This way of delivering invoices removes paper from everyday use and creates great savings, both for companies and the economy. It is much more environmentally friendly and offers companies increased market competitiveness by speeding up business processes

    No full text
    Ideja za pisanje ovoga rada potječe iz idejnog poslovnog projekta pretvorbe obiteljskog imanja Radočaj u atraktivan, vrhunsko opremljeni smještajni objekt, prepoznat po iznimnoj kvaliteti usluge na području ruralnog turizma, kao osnovnog oblika turističke ponude. Radi prikupljanja relevantnih činjenica za potrebe pisanja rada, izdvojeni su oni segmenti koji najviše odgovaraju planovima za razvoj idejnog koncepta, a tiču se trenutne situacije na području ruralnog turizma u Hrvatskoj. Naglasak je na području Istre kao vodeće destinacije ovoga oblika turističke ponude koja prednjači, ne samo brojem posjetitelja, već sustavnim i pravovremenim donošenjem adekvatnih strategija i odluka za rast i razvoj ruralnih područja.The idea for writing the paper comes from the business project of transforming the Radočaj family estate into an attractive, superbly equipped accommodation facility, recognized for the exceptional quality of service in the field of rural tourism as the basic form of tourist offer. In order to gather relevant facts, for the purposes of writing the paper, those segments that most correspond to the plans for the development of the conceptual concept, and concern the current situation in the field of rural tourism in Croatia. The emphasis is on the area of Istria as the leading destination of this form of tourist offer, which leads not only in the number of visitors, but also in the systematic and timely adoption of adequate strategies and decisions for the growth and development of rural areas
