    Specijalistički diplomski stručni rad „Utjecaj prezentacije na uspješnost prodajnog procesa na primjeru trgovine kozmetičkih proizvoda“ usmjeren je na utvrđivanje uloge prezentacije u prodajnom procesu te njezina utjecaja na uspjeh prodajnog procesa kroz detaljnu analizu prodajnog procesa sekundarnim i primarnim istraživanjem. Kako bi uloga prezentacije u prodajnom procesu bila ispravno definirana provedeno je sekundarno istraživanje s ciljem razumijevanja dosadašnjih istraživanja na temu te stavova različitih autora. Uz sekundarno istraživanje provedeno je i primarno istraživanje na uzorku od 83 ispitanika, koji su uz pomoć eliminacijskih pitanja definirani kao ciljana skupina istraživanja. Upitnikom je utvrđen stvarni utjecaj prezentacije na donošenje odluke o kupnji kozmetičkih proizvoda te je definiran termin uspješne prezentacije koja rezultira donošenjem pozitivne odluke o kupnji. Primarno istraživanje je dokazalo da prodavač ima zaista važnu ulogu i utjecaj na uspješnost prodajnog procesa kozmetičkih proizvoda. Nadalje, definirane su tri ključne osobine prodavača i njegova nastupa u prezentaciji kako bi prodajni proces imao pozitivan ishod: ljubaznost, znanje o proizvodima te razumijevanje potreba kupaca. Prema rezultatima istraživanja autorica rada iznijela je svoje preporuke za razvoj kompetencija zaposlenika fokusirane na strukturiranu edukaciju usmjerenu na tri ključne osobine koje su definirali kupci.This specialist professional graduate thesis, entitled „The impact of the Presentation on the success of the Selling Process on the example of the Cosmetics store is focused on defining the role of presentation in the selling process as well as its impact on the success of the selling process. The aim is achieved through the detailed analysis of the selling process using secondary and primary research. For the role of the presentation in the selling process to be correctly defined, the author of this paper used the secondary research to understand the research already conducted in the field as well as the attitude regarding the topic from various authors. In addition to the secondary research, the primary research is conducted on the sample of 83 representatives defined with the help of the questions focused on elimination of the examinees not meeting the criteria set up for the target sample. The questionnaire helps to define the real impact of the presentation on the decision-making process and to understand the characteristics of a successful presentation resulting in a positive buying decision. The primary research proved the importance of the salesperson´s role and he´s or her´s impact on the success of the selling process in the cosmetics industry. Moreover, the three most important characteristics of a salesperson are defined, those are: kindness, product knowledge and customer needs understanding. Based on the results of the research, the author of this paper has defined recommendations to develop salesperson´s competencies focusing on structured education focused on the mentioned three key characteristics defined by the customers

    Nakon financijske krize iz 1998. godine, hrvatski bankarski sektor je bio u fazi kreditne ekspanzije. U zemlji koja svoje financijske resurse crpi gotovo isključivo iz bankarskog sektora, ekonomski pokazatelji bili su u fazi oporavka, što je pozitivno utjecalo na spremnost građanskog i poslovnog sektora da se upušta u kreditne aranžmane, ali i banaka da maksimalno liberaliziraju svoje kreditne politike. Uslijed takve kreditne ekspanzije, 2007. godine započinje druga financijska kriza na području SAD-a, koja se putem raznih povezanih mehanizama brzo prelijeva na Europu. Utjecaj krize na bankarski sektor poslužio je kao svojevrsni katalizator za otkrivanje svih slabosti modela koje banke koriste kako bi upravljale kreditnim rizikom. Utjecaj krize na povećanje loših plasmana posljedično se negativno odražava i na realni sektor, ali i ekonomske pokazatelje zemlje u cjelini. Posljedice krize dovele su do intenziviranja potrebe da se fokus znanstvene i poslovne zajednice stavi na istraživanja i stručne javne rasprave kako bi se detektirali uzroci koji dovode do porasta loših plasmana, kao i da bi se rasvijetlile metode koje mogu neutralizirati njihove efekte. Iz današnje perspektive, fokus se stavlja na važnost identifikacije faktora koji utječu na migraciju kredita iz regularnih u neprihodonosne, njihove prevencije i modele upravljanja koji bi efekte rizika maksimalno ublažili.After the financial crisis in 1998, the Croatian banking sector was in the process of credit expansion. In a country that draws its financial resources almost exclusively from the banking sector, with economic indicators in recovery phase, it created a positive impact on the civil and business sector to engage in credit arrangements, but also encouraged banks to fully liberalize their credit policies. In the mindset of this credit expansion, another financial crisis began in 2007 in the US, which, through various related mechanisms, quickly spilled on to Europe. The impact that the crisis had on the banking sector served as a catalyst for detecting all the weaknesses of the models used by banks to manage credit risk. Given the fact that the increase in bad placements is consequently negatively reflecting both the real sector and economic indicators of the country as a whole, financial crises intensified research and expert public debates in order to detect the causes that lead to a rise in bad placements, as well as lighten methods that can neutralize risk effects. Current economic trends put the focus on the importance of identifying factors that affect the migration of loans from regular to non performing, creating bad placements, their prevention and management models to minimize the effects of risk

    Računovodstvene politike su postupci, pravila i metode koje su dopuštene unutar općeprihvaćenih računovodstvenih načela i standarda te koje poslovni subjekti usvajaju i primjenjuju pri sastavljanju financijskih izvještaja. Na menadžmentu je da odabere računovodstvene politike koje su u skladu s ciljevima poduzeća, pri čemu treba uzeti u obzir da financijski izvještaji trebaju pravedno i istinito prikazati financijski položaj i rezultat poslovanja poduzeća. Svaka od ponuđenih metoda unutar standarda, na kojima poduzeće temelji računovodstvenu politiku, ima različit utjecaj na financijske izvještaje. Primjenom jedne metode i odbacivanjem druge, mogu se slati različite informacije korisnicima tih izvještaja. Jedna od tih informacija rezultat je poslovanja. Zbog toga je važno analizirati učinke svake pojedine računovodstvene politike na poslovni rezultat. Kao najznačajnija područja primjene računovodstvenih politika odabrana su područja dugotrajne imovine i amortizacije, obračuna zaliha, vrijednosnog usklađenja i otpisa potraživanja te priznavanja prihoda. Kroz primjere je dokazano da u kratkoročnom razdoblju postoji utjecaj na poslovni rezultat, ali dugoročno gledano, taj utjecaj ne postoji jer se rezultat poslovanja prenosi iz jednog razdoblja u drugo.Accounting policies are the procedures, rules and methods that are permitted within generally accepted accounting principles and standards which companies adopt and apply in preparing financial statements. It is up to management to choose accounting policies that are accordant with the companies goals, taking care that the financial statements need to present fairly and truthfully the financial position and results of companies business. Each of the offered methods within the standards, on which the company bases its accounting policy has a different impact on the financial statements. By applying one method and rejecting the other, different information can be sent to the users of those reports. One of information is the result of the business. Therefore, it is important to analyze the effects of each accounting policy on the business result. As the most important areas of application accounting policies are selected areas of fixed assets and depreciation, inventory calculation, value adjustment and write-off of receivables and revenue recognition. Through examples, it has been proven that in the short term there is an impact on the business result, but in the long period this impact does not exist, because the business result is transferred from one period to another

    Sportsko sponzorstvo danas je jedan od najutjecajnijih i rasprostranjenijih oblika promocije u svijetu biznisa. Ono što ga čini privlačnim i često korištenim je njegov domet, odnosno da se putem sporta može dostići jako veliki broj potencijalnih kupaca i putem sporta se otvaraju velika globalna tržišta za samo poduzeće koje vrši sponzorstvo. U radu su se obrađivale teme sponzorstva, profesionalnog sporta, promocije i promocijski oblici, prikazao se određeni košarkaški klub i kako je on implementirao sponzorstvo kao svoju promocijsku strategiju marketinga. Pri kraju rada nalazi se i empirijsko istraživanje koje je za cilj imalo istražiti kakav utjecaj imaju promocijske aktivnosti kluba. U radu je prikazano dosta primjera promocije u sportu putem sponzorstva, te primjeri oblika i vrsta promocija u sportu. Treba naglasiti da je i razvoj tehnologije puno pridonio jačanju marketinga, samim time i sponzorstva. Danas se klubovi i sami sportaši putem društvenih mreža povezuju sa svojim navijačima i sponzorima, te ako imaju jaki utjecaj na društvenim mrežama privlače i nove potencijalne sponzore. Sponzori su jako bitni za sportaše zbog financijskog aspekta koji predstavljaju za sportaše.Sports sponsorship is today one of the most influential and widespread forms of promotion in the business world. What makes it attractive and often used is its reach, and a fact that a very large number of potential customers can be reached through sports, and through sports large global markets are opened for the sponsoring company itself. The paper dealt with the topics of sponsorship, professional sports, promotion, and promotional forms, presented a certain basketball club and how it implemented sponsorship as its promotional marketing strategy. At the end of the paper, there is empirical research that aimed to investigate the impact of the club's promotional activities. The paper also presents many examples of promotion in sports through sponsorship, as well as examples of forms and types of promotion in sports. It should be emphasized that the development of technology has contributed a lot to the strengthening of marketing, and thus sponsorship. Today, clubs and athletes themselves connect with their fans and sponsors through social networks, and if they have a strong influence on social networks, they also attract new potential sponsors. Sponsors are very important for athletes because of the financial aspect they represent for athletes

    Suvremene organizacije okreću se prepoznavanju utjecaja stresa i radnog nezadovoljstva na kvalitetu rada svojih zaposlenika. Ovaj rad opisao je pojam radnog stresa i njegov utjecaj na radno zadovoljstvo. U empirijskom dijelu provedeno je anketno ispitivanje 49 djelatnika Hrvatskog zavoda za mirovinsko osiguranje u Zadru kako bi se utvrdilo koje izvore stresa na poslu percipiraju najintenzivnijim. Provjerilo se i razlikuju li se različite kategorije djelatnika u HZMO-u (muškarci i žene, oni koji bi mijenjali posao i oni koji ne bi) u percepciji stresnosti različitih radnih stresora. Posao je u prosjeku procijenjen kao osrednje do visoko stresan. Više od pola ispitanika napustilo bi svoj posao, kada bi im se za to pružila prilika. Najintenzivnijim stresorima procijenjeni su obim posla, praćenje čestih izmjena zakona i zadanih rokova. Pronađene su i neke spolne razlike, pa se pokazalo da bi 63 % muškaraca mijenjalo posao da mogu, dok bi 52,63 % žena mijenjalo posao da im se pruži prilika. Oni koji bi mijenjali posao većinu ispitivanih stresora smatraju stresnijima i izražavaju veće nezadovoljstvo poslom od onih koji posao ne bi mijenjali. Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za smanjenjem obima i boljom organizacijom posla.Modern organizations seek to recognize the impact of stress and job dissatisfaction on the quality of their employees work. This paper described the concept of stress at work and its impact on work satisfaction. In the empirical part, a survey of 49 Pension Insurance employees was conducted in order to determine which sources of stress at work they perceive as the most intense. Different categories of Pension Insurance employees in Zadar (men and women, who would change jobs and those who would not) were distinguished in the perception of stress of different work stressors. The job is on average estimated from medium to very stressful. More than half of the respondents would leave their jobs if given the opportunity. The most intensive stressors were the extent of work, monitoring of frequent changes in the law and deadlines. Some gender differences were also found, where they showed that 63% of men would change jobs if they could, while 52.63% of women would change jobs if given the opportunity. Those who would change job perceive more stress and have greater job dissatisfaction, than those who would not change the job. The results indicate the need to reduce the extent of work and better organization of the work process

    Ovim završnim radom prikazan je proces strateškog menadžmenta na primjeru poduzeća Violeta, kojem su primarne djelatnosti proizvodnja i distribucija higijenskih proizvoda širokog asortimana. Ovo poduzeće zauzima lidersku poziciju na bosanskohercegovačkom tržištu, ali jednako tako svoje poslovanje je proširilo i van granica Bosne i Hercegovine. Jedan od razloga uspješnog poslovanja ovog poduzeća jeste i dobra poslovna strategija dobivena kroz proces strateškog menadžmenta. Zbog toga se ovaj rad bavi analizom procesa strateškog menadžmenta, koji se sastoji od pet etapa: analize okoline, postavljanja usmjerenja organizacije, formuliranja strategije, implementacije strategije, kontrole i evaluacije strategije. Nakon dobivenih rezultata strateške analize provodi se zaključak na temelju kojeg poduzeće iščitava svoje snage i slabosti odnosno prilike i prijetnje.This final paper presents the process of strategic management using the example of Violeta company, whose primary activities are production and distribution of hygienic products of wide range. The company holds a leading position on the Bosnian market, but it has also expanded its operations beyond Bosnia-Herzegovina's borders. One of the reasons for successful business operations of this company is a good business strategy obtained through the process of strategic management. Therefore, this paper deals with the analysis of strategic management process, which consists of five phases: environmental analysis, setting the organisation's orientation, formulation of strategy, implementation of strategy, control and evaluation of strategy. After the obtained results of the strategic analysis, a conclusion is made on the basis of which the company reads its strengths and weaknesses, i.e. opportunities and threats

    Poslodavci se nerijetko suočavaju s nezadovoljstvom svojih zaposlenika. Velik broj istraživanja bavi se identifikacijom zadovoljstva radnika u pojedinim djelatnostima. Međutim, do sada se niti jedno istraživanje nije posvetilo proučavanju zadovoljstva odvjetničkih vježbenika, što ovom radu daje i dodatan praktični značaj za poslodavce odvjetničkih vježbenika. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi (ne)zadovoljstvo odvjetničkih vježbenika tijekom odrađivanja radnog staža potrebnog za polaganje pravosudnog ispita i upis u Imenik odvjetnika pri Hrvatskoj odvjetničkoj komori. Na uzorku od 96 odvjetničkih vježbenika provedeno je anonimno anketno ispitivanje, a rezultati su pokazali postojanje (ne)zadovoljstva pojedinim uvjetima zaposlenja. Ponajviše se istaknulo nezadovoljstvo primanjima, te zadovoljstvo međuljudskim odnosima unutar organizacija. Temeljem rezultata dane su preporuke poslodavcima kako bi poboljšali zadovoljstvo svojih zaposlenih, te koraci koje mogu poduzeti kako bi percepcija različitih karakteristika posla zaposlenika bila pozitivna.Employers often face employee dissatisfaction. A considerable number of studies deal with the identification of employee satisfaction in specific industries. However, no study has yet been devoted to examining satisfaction among trainee lawyers, which grants this thesis additional practical significance for trainee lawyers’ employers. The aim of the thesis was to determine the level of (dis)satisfaction among trainee lawyers during the work experience required to take the bar exam and subsequently enrol in the Directory of Lawyers at the Croatian Bar Association. An anonymous survey was conducted on a sample of 96 trainee lawyers, and the results showed the existence of (dis)satisfaction with certain employment conditions. Income dissatisfaction on the one hand and satisfaction with interpersonal relations within specific organizations on the other were most prominent. Based on the results, suggestions were given to employers which would help improve the satisfaction of their employees, and certain steps which would make their employees’ perception of different job characteristics more positive were outlined

    Analiza uspješnosti spajanja i preuzimanja u postintegracijskoj fazi – studija slučaja poduzeća Vodafone i Mannesmann

    Proces spajanja i preuzimanja kao oblik integracije predstavlja zahtjevan izbor za poduzeće na dinamičnom tržištu kapitala. Spajanje i preuzimanje kao oblici razvoja za poduzeće predstavljaju ključnu ulogu kako bi poduzeće moglo konkurirati na europskom i svjetskom tržištu za plasiranje roba ili isporučivanje usluga. Spajanja stvaraju organizacijsku strukturu s unificiranom kontrolom i upravljanjem, a strateški savezi stvaraju strukturu sa zajedničkom kontrolom. Poduzeće koje pripaja drugo poduzeće u svoje vlasništvo veličinom treba biti znatno veće od poduzeća mete. Razlika između pripajanja i spajanja u tome je što kod pripajanja društvo-preuzimatelj nastavlja postojati, a pripojeno društvo ili društva prestaju postojati. Spajanjem dvaju entiteta smanjuje se broj konkurentskih tvrtki za jednu te istodobno povećava industrijska koncentracija. Kada je Vodafone kao manja britanska korporacija pokrenuo uspješnu prekograničnu neprijateljsku ponudu za preuzimanje Mannesmanna, prvi je put došlo do pokretanja uspješnoga neprijateljskoga preuzimanja protiv velike njemačke korporacije od strane inozemnoga poduzeća. Spajanje Vodafona s Mannesmannom smatra se horizontalnim jer oba poduzeća posluju u telekomunikacijskoj industriji. Usklađivanje korporativne kulture i strategije važni su čimbenici uspjeha Vodafona u postintegracijskoj fazi preuzimanja.The process of mergers and acquisitions as a form of integration is a demanding choice for a company in a dynamic capital market. Mergers and acquisitions as forms of development for the company play a key role in order for the company to be able to compete in the European and world market for the placement of goods or delivery of services. Mergers and acquisitions are a phenomenon of the developed capitalist world. A merger is an association of two or more companies. When two or more companies merge, a new company is created. Mergers create an organizational structure with unified control and management, and strategic alliances create a structure with joint control. An enterprise that merges another enterprise into its ownership should be significantly larger in size than the target enterprise. The difference between a merger and a merger is that in a merger, the acquiring company continues to exist and the merged company or companies cease to exist. When Vodafone as a smaller British corporation launched a successful cross-border hostile takeover bid for Mannesmann, it was the first time a successful hostile takeover was launched against a large German corporation by a foreign company. The merger of Vodafone with Mannesmann is considered horizontal, as both companies operate in the telecommunications industry. Merging the two entities reduces the number of competing companies by one, while increasing industrial concentration

    Cilj ovog kvantitativnog istraživanja bio je ispitati čimbenike koji utječu na zadovoljstvo zaposlenika radom na daljinu koji je u hrvatskoj radnoj praksi postao široko zastupljen u 2020. godini pojavom globalne epidemiološke krize uzrokovane virusom COVID-19. Čimbenike se svrstalo u kategorije vezane uz samog pojedinca, one povezane s prirodom posla te one vezane uz karakteristike organizacija koje su provodile ovakav oblik rada. Nastojalo se steći uvid u stupanj zadovoljstva radnika kvalitetom obavljanja rada na daljinu, kao i u njihove stavove prema takvoj radnoj praksi, ispitati u kojoj mjeri pojedini pobrojani čimbenici utječu na zadovoljstvo i stavove ispitanih, te istražiti nedostatke i prednosti ovog oblika rada. U istraživanju provedenom u svibnju 2021. godine sudjelovalo je 185 radnika s određenim iskustvom i stečenom praksom u radu na daljinu, a podaci su prikupljeni anketom. Analiza rezultata pokazala je kako su radnici u velikoj mjeri zadovoljni radom na daljinu te kako su skloni mogućnosti da tako rade i dalje, neovisno o završetku epidemije. Ovakva organizacija najvećem broju ispitanih odgovarala bi u tzv. hibridnom modelu kombiniranja rada na daljinu s onim iz ureda. Ispitani su prepoznali i visoko vrednovali prednosti rada na daljinu, evidentno im pripisujući veći značaj nego što je to slučaj s nedostacima. Najvažnijim prednostima pokazale su se ušteda vremena po pitanju putovanja na posao i s posla, te fleksibilnost. Najproblematičnijim nedostacima pokazali su se nedostatak neformalne komunikacije te nepostojanje granice poslovnog i privatnog života. Većina ispitanih zadovoljna je organizacijskom podrškom i smatra da su poslodavci adekvatno odgovorili na izazov organizacije rada na daljinu.This quantitative study aims to examine the factors affecting employee satisfaction with telecommuting, which in Croatian work practice became widespread in 2020 with the emergence of the global epidemiological crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus. The factors were classified into categories related to the individual, those related to the nature of the work and those related to the characteristics of the organizations that carried out this form of work. The objective was to gain insight into the degree of employee satisfaction with the quality of telecommuting, as well as the employees’ attitudes toward such work practices, to examine the extent to which individual factors affect the satisfaction and attitudes of respondents, and to explore the advantages and disadvantages of this form of work. The survey conducted in May 2021 involved 185 workers who all had some experience and have acquired some practice in telecommuting, and the data were collected through a survey. The analysis of the results showed that workers are largely satisfied with telecommuting and that they favor the possibility of continuing to do so, regardless of the epidemic ending. Such an arrangement would be welcome for the majority of respondents in the so-called hybrid model of combining work from home with that from the office. Respondents recognized and highly valued the advantages of telecommuting, evidently attributing more importance to them than to the disadvantages. The most important advantages were seen as time saving in terms of travel to and from work, and flexibility. The most problematic shortcomings were recognized as the lack of informal communication and the lack of a work/life boundary. Most of the respondents were satisfied with the organizational support received and believe their employers adequately responded to the challenge of organizing telecommuting

    Logistika je glavna karika opskrbnog lanca. Na logistiku se oslanjaju i proizvođači i preprodavači. U doba pandemije koronavirusa, kada gospodarstvo doživljava svoj pad, logistika osnažuje online prodajni kanal i uspijeva održavati korak s novonastalim izazovima. Među izazovima, najveći je nedostatak radne snage i njegova brza fluktuacija. Svrha završnog rada je prikazati mogućnost unaprjeđenja skladišnog poslovanja robotizacijom na primjeru Atlantic grupe d.d. Strategija koju je Atlantic grupa d.d. upotrijebila je pokretanje pilot-projekta robotizacije skladišta uvođenjem novih tehnologija, WMS-a i AMR-a. Cilj pilot-projekta je rješavanje problema nedostatka radnika i povećanja efikasnosti skladišnih procesa. Gideon Brothers, poslovni partner Atlantic grupe d.d. u robotizaciji skladišta, provodio je analize prohodnosti, troškova i ušteda. Na temelju tih podataka napravljena je projekcija podataka za komparativnu analizu koja dovodi do zaključka da nove tehnologije omogućuju skladišnom poslovanju brz odgovor na kupčeve zahtjeve te bržu, točniju i sigurniju manipulaciju robom. Poduzeća koja prate i usvajaju najnovije trendove u skladišnom poslovanju, konkurentnija su na tržištu i imaju veću dodanu vrijednost. Robotizacija skladišta trenutno je najpopularniji trend modernizacije skladišnog poslovanja među vodećim distributerima u Hrvatskoj.Logistics is the main link in a supply chain. Manufacturers and resellers rely on logistics. In the era of the coronavirus pandemic, when the economy is experiencing a downturn, logistics strengthens the online sales channel and manages to keep pace with emerging challenges. Among these challenges, the biggest is the shortage of labor and its rapid fluctuation. The purpose of this final thesis is the possibility of improving warehousing operations using robotics based on the example of Atlantic grupa d.d. Atlantic grupa d.d. adopted a strategy of launching a pilot project involving warehouse robotics and the use of new technologies, specifically, WMS and AMR. The goal of the pilot project was to solve the problem of labor shortages and increase the efficiency of warehousing processes. Gideon Brothers, Atlantic’s business partner in warehouse robotics, conducted throughput, cost, and savings analyzes. Based on the data, a projection of data for comparative analysis was performed, which led to the conclusion that new technologies will enable warehousing operations to respond quickly to customer requirements as well as faster, accurate and safe handling of goods. Companies that follow and adopt the latest trends in warehousing, are competitive in the market and have greater added value. Warehouse robotization is currently the most popular trend in the modernization of warehousing operations among the leading distributors in Croatia
