Opportunities and perspectives for the development of active tourism in Slavonia
No full textOdmor i relaksacija gotovo su uvijek prvi i glavni motiv odlaska na putovanje, no uz nove načine Života sve češći motiv postaje potreba za rekreacijom, sportom i avanturom. Aktivni turizam bilježi sve veći rast na globalnoj razini. Zbog današnjeg radnog vremena, ljudi imaju sve manje vremena za sebe, slobodne aktivnosti i rekreaciju. Moderni turisti sve su informiraniji te od svog godišnjeg odmora traže puno više od samog odmora i ležanja na plaži. Često je vrijeme godišnjeg odmora jedini period u godini kada se ljudi mogu posvetiti svojim hobijima, istraživati, baviti se svojim omiljenim aktivnostima te se rekreirati na neki nov i uzbudljiv način. Baš iz tih razloga može se zaključiti kako aktivni turizam kao posebna vrsta turizma ima velik potencijal za napredak i u Hrvatskoj i u svijetu. Za kvalitetnu provedbu aktivnog turizma na nekom području, potrebne su prije svega prirodne ljepote koje Slavonija itekako posjeduje. Ovaj rad istražuje obilježja aktivnog turizma kao posebnog oblika turizma, trendove na turističkom tržištu vezane uz potražnju za aktivnim odmorom te istražuje postojeću ponudu aktivnog turizma u Slavoniji. Istraživanje je provedeno putem strukturiranog intervjua s predstavnicima turističkih zajednica u Slavoniji, a vezano je uz potencijale i mogućnosti za daljnji napredak aktivnog turizma kao posebnog oblika turizma na ovom području.Rest and relaxation are almost always the primary motives for going on vacation; however, the emergence of new lifestyles has increased the demand for recreational activities, sport and adventure. As people have less and less time during the week for recreation and other outdoor activities, active tourism has been experiencing steady growth for years, and on a global scale. Modern-day tourists are more informed than they were in the past and thus, they want to put their vacation time to better use than just laying around on the beach, as it is often the only time of the year during which they can dedicate themselves to their hobbies, explore new places, or discover new and exciting recreational activities. It is precisely because of this that active tourism, as an entirely unique form of tourism, has an increasingly bright future and plenty of space for growth, globally as well as in Croatia. In any given country, a rich natural environment is of the utmost importance for the success of active tourism, and Slavonia most definitely has plenty to offer in that regard. This paper examines the characteristics of active tourism as a unique form of tourism, along with market trends related to the demand for this kind of tourism. Finally, it explores what Slavonia’s existing market for active tourism has to offer. The research for this paper was conducted in the form of structured interviews with representatives of tourist agencies in Slavonia, and concerns the future potential of active tourism as a unique form of tourism on a local scale
Students' Tendencies Towards Using Heuristics in Decision Making
No full textBehavioural economy is a discipline which primarily uses evidence from psychology and economy in order to examine human rationality in nearly every part of decision making. Facing complex situations, incomplete information and/or limited amount of time, people tend to use mental shortcuts also known as heuristics. Heuristics are used in numerous situations, but sometimes they lead to systematic errors and cognitive bias. The objective of this work was to examine frequency in using heuristics in decision making among student sample from different fields of study in Croatia. The questionnaire included several situations with availability heuristic, representativeness heuristic and loss aversion possibilities. The questionnaire was available online and it was shared on social media. The sample included 560 students. The research results showed partial tendency in using heuristics. Recommendations for future research are referred to and analysis of the potential influence of the different study fields on the quality of decision making

Specifics of accounting of family agricultural holdings
No full textDoprinos obiteljskih poljoprivrednih gospodarstava lokalnoj ponudi hrane, sigurnosti hrane i neovisnosti u pogledu hrane, priznat je na globalnoj razini te čini i ključni element europskog poljoprivrednog modela. Nadalje, mala obiteljska gospodarstva budućnost su Europske unije jer zapošljavaju ljude, ali i čuvaju tradiciju. Obiteljsko poljoprivredno gospodarstvo jedan je od najčešćih organizacijskih oblika bavljenja poljoprivredom u Republici Hrvatskoj pa na taj način zauzima vrlo značajno mjesto u gospodarstvu Republike Hrvatske. Stoga je vrlo važno, posebno u Hrvatskoj, staviti naglasak na stvaranje povoljnih uvjeta za rast, razvoj i međusobnu suradnju obiteljskih poljoprivrednih gospodarstava. U radu se ukazuje na značenje obiteljskog poljoprivrednog gospodarstva u Republici Hrvatskoj, kao i na različito zakonsko reguliranje brojnih pitanja vezanih za obiteljska poljoprivredna gospodarstva, a primarno s računovodstvenog aspekta. Računovodstvo razlikuje dva osnovna sustava knjigovodstva, a to su jednostavno i dvojno knjigovodstvo kao oblik vođenja poslovnih knjiga koje obiteljsko poljoprivredno gospodarstvo može primjenjivati. Izbor vođenja poslovnih knjiga ovisit će o načinu poslovanja samog obiteljskog poljoprivrednog gospodarstva. U radu se, na primjeru ostvarivanja dobiti/dohotka u iznosu 500.000,00 kn, daje pregled visine svih javnih davanja u različitim slučajevima računovodstva OPG-a što može poslužiti za dobar odabir načina poslovanja OPG-a. Primjerice, neto zarada je najveća u slučaju obavljanja djelatnosti OPG-a kao trgovačkog društva. Ipak, iz prakse, neki porezni obveznici ostaju u sustavu poreza na dohodak bez obzira na veću poreznu obvezu iz razloga što mogu lakše raspolagati novcem, zbog manjih doprinosa i slično te plaćanja poreza na ostvareni priliv novca. Međutim, novčano načelo mogu odabrati i pravne osobe obveznici poreza na dobit, ali prilikom isplate novca za osobne potrebe ipak trebaju platiti porez na dohodak od kapitala.The contribution of family agricultural holdings (also inthe text: family farms) to local food supply, food security and independence in relation to food is recognised globally and is also a key element of the European agricultural model. Small family farms are the future of the European Union because they employ people, but also preserve tradition. Family farm is one of the most common organizational forms of agriculture activity in the Republic of Croatia, thus taking a very important place in the economy of the Republic of Croatia. Therefore, it is very important, especially in Croatia, to put emphasis on creating favourable conditions for growth, development and mutual cooperation of family farms. The paper points to the importance of the family farm in the Republic of Croatia, as well as the different legal regulation of numerous issues related to it, primarily from an accounting point of view. Accounting distinguishes between two basic accounting systems, namely simple and dual bookkeeping as a form of keeping the accounts that the family farm can apply. The choice of keeping a business book will depend on how the family farm itself operates. The paper, on the example of making a profit / income in the amount of HRK 500,000.00, gives an overview of the amount of all public benefits in various cases of family accounting, which can be used for a good choice of family business. Net earnings are highest in the case of performing the activities of a family farm as a company. However, from practice, some taxpayers remain in the income tax system despite the higher tax liability because they can dispose of money more easily, due to lower contributions and the like, and pay taxes on the cash inflow. However, the monetary principle can also be chosen by legal entities liable for income tax, but when paying money for personal needs, they still have to pay capital income tax

No full textKrajnji cilj inovacije poboljšanje je poslovanja. Uloga inovacija presudna je u društvenom i gospodarskom razvoju jer poboljšava nacionalnu proizvodnju, stimulira ekonomski rast, osigurava konkurentnost te poboljšava kvalitetu života. Sposobnost inoviranja jedan je od najvažnijih čimbenika gospodarske moći poduzeća.
U fokusu su ovog rada provedeno istraživanje, kojim se ispitala rasprostranjenost inovacijskih programa u poduzećima na području Republika Hrvatske, Slovenije i Srbije, te izvori inovativnosti na razini poduzeća i čimbenici koji djeluju na ostvarivanje ekonomskih performansi. Cilj je rada provjeriti ulogu i značaj inovacijskih programa unutar poduzeća te njihov utjecaj na zadovoljstvo zaposlenika, kao i na općenitu uspješnost inoviranja i konkurentnost poduzeća.The main goal of innovation is to improve business.

Analysis of the significance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors in employees in an it company
No full textRadna motivacija izuzetno je važna kako bi se povećala učinkovitost zaposlenika i kako bi ostvarili vrhunske poslovne rezultate. Ključ uspjeha poduzeća temelji se na kvalitetnom motivacijskom sustavu jer su ljudski resursi najbitniji resursi poduzeća. Stoga, adekvatna strategija motiviranja zaposlenika uključuje kombinaciju intrinzičnih i ekstrinzičnih faktora te različite materijalne i nematerijalne kompenzacije. Cilj rada bio je analizirati značaj intrinzičnih i ekstrinzičnih motivacijskih faktora kod zaposlenika u informatičkom poduzeću. Odabrani instrument istraživanja bio je anketni upitnik. Podaci su prikupljeni putem internetskog anketnog upitnika koji je distribuiran e-poštom jednom informatičkom poduzeću kojim je ispitano ukupno 33 ispitanika. Pokazalo se da su zaposlenicima promatranog informatičkog poduzeća podjednako značajni i intrinzični i ekstrinzični faktori no rezultati ipak upućuju na veću sklonost ekstrinzičnim motivacijskim faktorima uz poneka odstupanja. Također se utvrdilo da poduzeće uglavnom koristi adekvatne strategije motiviranja, no postoji potreba za poboljšanjem i uvođenjem novih motivacijskih tehnika. Autorica je za daljnja istraživanja ove teme preporučila uključivanje većeg broja zaposlenika iz različitih informatičkih poduzećaWork motivation it is extremely important in order to increase employee efficiency and to achieve top business results. The key to a company's success is based on a quality motivation system because human resources are the most important resources of a company. Therefore, an adequate employee motivation strategy includes a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors and various tangible and intangible compensations. The aim of this paper was to analyze the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factor in employees in an IT company. The chosen research instrument was a survey questionnaire. Data were collected through an online survey questionnaire distributed by e-mail to an IT company surveying a total of 33 respondents. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors have been shown to be equally important to the employees of the observed IT company, but the results still indicate a greater tendency to extrinsic motivational factors with some deviations. It was also found that the company mainly uses adequate motivation strategies but there is a need to improve and introduce new motivational techniques. For further research on this topic the author recommended the inclusion of a larger number of employees from various IT companies
Intention of new entrepreneurs to use the services of business incubators when starting their own business
No full textOvim radom istražene su najveće prepreke i problemi pokretanja vlastitoga posla u Republici
Hrvatskoj, a također je analizirano u kolikoj je mjeri tema poduzetničkih inkubatora
rasprostranjena i poznata studentima u Hrvatskoj. Loša organizacija gospodarskog sustava,
nedostatak potpora, kompliciranost administrativnih zahtjeva, nemogućnost pristupa
potrebnim informacijama predstavljaju velik problem osobama koje razmišljaju o pokretanju
vlastitoga posla. Osim analize dostupnih sekundarnih izvora, provedeno je istraživanje uz
pomoć anketnog upitnika. Dio rada temelji se na odgovorima prikupljenim putem dvaju
anketnih upitnika gdje je za studente uzorak bio sedamdeset pet ispitanika, a uzorak
poduzetnika koji se koriste uslugama inkubatora trideset sedam ispitanika. Rezultati ispitivanja
ovog uzorka pokazuju da bi što bolja informiranost javnosti i dodatne edukacije o temi
inkubatora pozitivno utjecale na porast broja novih poduzeća i sigurno bi se sve veći broj
mladih odlučio na nove poduzetničke pothvate. Nadalje, rezultatima ankete utvrđeno je da
ispitani studenti nemaju dovoljno znanja o temi inkubatora, a da su ispitani stanari inkubatora
u prosjeku zadovoljni radom i uslugama koje im inkubatori pružaju te su sasvim sigurni da su
te usluge velika prednost za mlade poduzetnike. Poduzetnici preporučuju svim novim
poduzetnicima koji se odluče na pokretanje vlastitoga posla, u bilo kojem od oblika, da se ne
ustručavaju krenuti i koristiti se uslugama inkubatora ili drugih potpornih institucija jer će im
olakšati njihove prve korake ka uspjehu vlastitoga poduzeća.The thesis researches the biggest obstacles and problems of starting your own business in the
Republic of Croatia, and it also analyses how much the students in Croatia are familiar with
the concept of business incubation. Poor organisation of economic system, lack of funding,
complexity of administrative requirements and limited access to necessary information
represent a big problem for people who are considering starting their own business. In addition
to the analysis of available secondary sources, a survey was conducted using a survey
questionnaire. Part of this thesis is based on answers collected through two surveys. One of
them was for students in which the sample size was seventy-five respondents, and the second
one was for entrepreneurs using incubator services for which the sample size was thirty-five
respondents. The survey results of this sample show that better public awareness and additional
education about business incubators, would make a positive impact on growth of the number
of new companies and certainly an increasing number of young people would decide to take
on new entrepreneurial ventures. Furthermore, with the results of the survey, it was affirmed
that the surveyed students do not have enough knowledge about the the business incubators
and that the surveyed residents of incubators are on average satisfied with the work and services
that the incubators offer. Residents of incubators are also entirely confident that incubator
services are a big advantage for young entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs recommend to all
entrepreneurs who decide to start their own business in any form, not to hesitate and to take
advantage of incubator services or services of other institutions offering support as they will
facilitate the first steps towards the success of their own business
Packaged tours within educational tourism
No full textEdukacijski turizam selektivni je oblik turizma koji se počeo razvijati zbog nove potražnje na turističkom tržištu. Glavni motiv putnika u edukacijskom turizmu jest spojiti putovanje, upoznavanje novih kultura i naroda sa stjecanjem novih znanja. Među najtraženijim ponudama jesu one za učenje jezika, obrazovni programi vezani uz umjetnost, floru i faunu, kulturu, gastronomiju, arhitekturu i druga područja. U svijetu se organizirani edukacijski turizam počeo razvijati već krajem 19. stoljeća, a do danas su se diferencirale ponude za studente, odrasle i starije osobe.
Cilj ovog rada jest istražiti paket-aranžmane edukacijskog turizma u Republici Hrvatskoj.Educational tourism is a selective kind of tourism that began to develop because of new demand on the market. The main motivation for traveling of its target consumer is creating the combination of traveling, getting to know new cultures & peoples and acquiring knowledge. The most in-demand offers are: learning languages, courses in art, exploring flora and fauna, cultural exchange, gastronomy, architecture and others. Organised educational tourism started to appear in the late 19th century, and it has since split into tours for students, adults and the elderly.
The aim of this paper is to explore packaged tours of educational tourism offered within the Republic of Croatia
Organization of events in the company Adriatic luxury hotels
No full textKako bi koji događaj funkcionirao učinkovito, treba jasno odrediti vrijeme, lokaciju, sudionike i sve detalje po kojima će se organizacija provesti. Pojam prijema obuhvaća usluživanje obroka izvan redovnih aktivnosti ugostiteljskog objekta. Prijemi ovoga tipa najčešće se odnose na organizaciju svečanih događanja na određenim lokacijama. Dijelimo ih prema vrstama organizacije, a najčešće su to svečani ručak i večera te koktel-zabava ili bife kao i organizacije sajmova, konferencija, vjenčanja, rođendana i slično. Ovakvi događaji slijede želje i potrebe gostiju te se mogu organizirati u salama i restoranima te različitim drugim lokacijama koje se mogu prilagoditi određenom događanju. Svrha je pisanja ovoga rada objasniti i analizirati menadžment organizacije događanja u hotelskom poslovanju na konkretnom primjeru Jadranskih luksuznih hotela.In order for the event itself to function, it is necessary to clearly determine the time, location, participants and all the details in order for the organization itself to run successfully. The term reception includes serving meals outside the regular activities of the catering facility. Receptions of this type most often refer to the organization of festive events at certain locations. We divide them into different types of organization, most often festive lunches and dinners and cocktail parties or buffets, as well as the organization of fairs, conferences, weddings, birthdays and the like. Such events follow the wishes and needs of guests and can be organized in halls and restaurants and various other locations that can be adapted to a particular event. The purpose of writing this paper is to explain and analyze the management of the organization of events in the hotel business on a concrete example of "Adriatic luxury hotels"
Analysis of communication quality on the example of selected Istrian five-star hotels
No full textZavršni rad se bavi analizom kvalitete komunikacije na primjeru odabranih istarskih hotela s pet zvjezdica. U radu se ističe važnost kvalitetne komunikacije, koja danas predstavlja važnu kompetitivnu prednost u turizmu, a posebice u hotelijerstvu. Analiza u radu prikazuje oblike komunikacije u odabranim hotelima i pokazuje važnost upravljanja odnosima s gostima u moderno vrijeme.
Hotelijerstvo, kao uslužna djelatnost, podrazumijeva svakodnevnu komunikaciju s gostima. Ovdje je važan svaki oblik komunikacije, i komunikacija digitalnim putem, kao i usmena komunikacija s gostima. Radom je istaknuta važnost verbalne i neverbalne komunikacije, kao i osnovnih načela dobrog komuniciranja. Budući da je glavni cilj svakog hotelijera zadovoljstvo gosta pruženom uslugom, komunikacijske vještine zaposlenih danas predstavljaju temelj kvalitetne usluge i stvaraju komparativnu prednost za hotel. Analizom odabranih hotela u radu su utvrđeni načini komunikacije koje hoteli koriste sa svojim gostima te mogući načini poboljšanja kvalitete komunikacije.The final paper deals with the analysis of the quality of communication on the example of selected Istrian five-star hotels. The paper emphasizes the importance of quality communication, which today represents an important competitive advantage in tourism, and especially in the hotel industry. The analysis in the paper shows the forms of communication in selected hotels and shows the importance of managing relations with guests in modern times.
Hotel management, as a service activity, implies daily communication with guests. Every form of communication is important here, both digital communication and oral communication with guests. The paper emphasized the importance of verbal and non-verbal communication, as well as the basic principles of good communication. Since the main goal of every hotelier is the satisfaction of the guest with the service provided, the communication skills of employees today are the foundation of quality service and create a comparative advantage for the hotel. The analysis of selected hotels identifies the ways of communication that hotels use with their guests and possible ways to improve the quality of communication
