    Vođenje u kriznim vremenima posebno je zahtjevno. Usprkos činjenici da organizacije ne mogu u potpunosti planirati krize, one mogu koristiti brojne znanstveno utemeljene procese upravljanja kako bi u svoje poslovanje ugradile rutine upravljanja krizama i kako bi uključile procjene potencijalnih rizika i ranjivosti u rasprave o strategiji i procese planiranja. Naime, obično vođa nije član kriznog tima, već donositelj odluka koji te iste odluke donosi samo na temelju procjene i prijedloga tima, ovisno o stilu koji njeguje. Uzevši navedeno u obzir, postavilo se zanimljivim istražiti načine vođenja za vrijeme COVID-19 krize u jednom bosanskohercegovačkom poduzeću čija je djelatnost povezana s prehrambenom industrijom. Pri tome, naglasak je stavljen na stilove vođenja u vrijeme krize, odnosno je li došlo do promjena u stilu i jesu li zaposlenici zadovoljni takvim načinom i stilom vođenja. Cilj rada bio je je utvrditi način i stil vođenja u promatranom poduzeću prije i za vrijeme COVID-19 krize. Kako bi se cilj postigao, provedeno je istraživanje anketnim upitnikom s 50 zaposlenika, ali i istraživanje dubinskim intervjuom s direktorom poduzeća. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju kako je u pretkrizno vrijeme vođa primjenjivao demokratsko-trenerski stil, no u vrijeme krize, stekao je određene karakteristike autoritarnog stila s obzirom na ozbiljnost situacije. Pri tome, vođa je zaposlenike motivirao nefinancijskim kompenzacijama, poticao ih na inovativnost, a zaposlenici na svim razinama znali su koji su strateški ciljevi poduzeća u svakom trenutku. Također, pokazalo se kako su ispitanici bili vrlo zadovoljni vođenjem u vrijeme krize, naglašavajući motivaciju i poticanje samopouzdanja i osjećaja sigurnosti zaposlenika.Leadership in times of crisis is particularly demanding. Despite the fact that organizations cannot fully plan for crises, they can use a number of science-based management processes to incorporate crisis management routines into their operations and to incorporate assessments of potential risks and vulnerabilities into strategy discussions and planning processes. Namely, usually the leader is not a member of the crisis team, but a decision-maker who makes those same decisions only on the basis of the team's assessment and suggestions, depending on the style he cultivates. Taking the above into account, it became interesting to investigate the ways of leadership during the COVID-19 crisis in a Bosnian company whose activity is related to the food industry. At the same time, the emphasis is placed on leadership styles in times of crisis, i.e. whether there have been changes in style and whether employees are satisfied with such a way and style of leadership. The aim of the work was to determine the way and style of leadership in the observed company before and during the COVID-19 crisis. In order to achieve the goal, a survey was conducted with 50 employees, as well as an in-depth interview with the company director. The results of the research show that in the pre-crisis period, the leader used a democratic-coaching style, but during the crisis, he acquired certain characteristics of an authoritarian style, considering the seriousness of the situation. In doing so, the leader motivated the employees with non-financial compensations, encouraged them to be innovative, and employees at all levels knew what the company's strategic goals were at all times. Also, it turned out that the respondents were very satisfied with the leadership during the crisis, emphasizing the motivation and encouragement of the employees' self-confidence and sense of security

Svaka faza procesa biti će razložena na smislene cjeline unutar kojih će biti uključeni detaljni opisi tijeka razmišljanja o načinima nadilaženja pojedinih prepreka, odluka i razloga donošenja istih te načina rada. Da bi film izgledao i djelovao onako kako su to njegovi autori zamislili te uspješno prenosio poruke, ideje i emocije na željeni način, stvaranju filma treba se pristupiti profesionalno i sistematično, a upravo je producent taj čija je zadaća da u cijeli projekt, odnosno u sve faze njegova stvaranja, unosi takvu racionalnu notu i pristup koji će osigurati sinkroniziranu suradnju onog umjetničkog i neopipljivog te konkretnog i mjerljivog.This paper describes the production process of the film "Consonance" directed by Sebastijan Kobas and includes all the following processes and sub-processes of the production: from pre-production, budgeting, filming, to post-production and finalization and most importantly, the final placement of the film on the market and among the audience. Every stage of the process will be divided into segments, encompassing thorough explanations of brainstorming approaches to overcome specific challenges, presenting arguments, making decisions and providing the rationale behind them, as well as outlining the methods of operation. Approaching film creation with professionalism and a systematic mindset is crucial to achieving the desired vision, effectively conveying messages, ideas, and emotions. The producer's responsibility lies in infusing the entire project, across all stages of development, with a rational perspective and approach that facilitates a seamless collaboration between artistic and abstract elements, as well as tangible and measurable aspects

    Gastronomski turizam sve je važniji segment turističke industrije diljem svijeta, a Hrvatska ima bogatu i raznoliku gastronomsku tradiciju, koja pridonosi tom trendu. U ovome radu istražila se uloga gastronomskog turizma u Hrvatskoj, s naglaskom na prepoznavanje potencijala hrvatske gastronomije. Glavna teza istraživanja bila je da gastronomija igra važnu ulogu u promociji turizma, te da se, u skladu s tim, sve više nude specijalizirani programi, čiji je glavni cilj pružiti gastronomsko iskustvo. Samim time gastronomija, u sve većem broju slučajeva, postaje glavni motiv putovanja. U istraživanju su analizirani povijest, raznolikost i kvaliteta gastronomske ponude u Hrvatskoj, kao i postojeći specijalizirani programi gastronomskog turizma. Metodologija istraživanja uključivala je analizu, komparaciju i proučavanje relevantnih izvora i studija o gastronomskom turizmu u Hrvatskoj, svjetskoj turističkoj ponudi, kulturnoj baštini i srodnim disciplinama. Također, provedeno je istraživanje putem ankete i intervjua s turističkim zajednicama, kako bi se utvrdilo koja regija u Hrvatskoj posebno posvećuje pažnju i ulaže najviše napora u pružanje kvalitetnog i raznovrsnog gastronomskog iskustva za posjetitelje, koliko se općenito važnosti pridaje gastronomskoj ponudi i koji su trenutno najpopularniji oblici promocije. U istraživanju su analizirane i negativne strane hrvatske gastronomske ponude, uključujući komunikaciju i jezične barijere. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da gastronomija ima značajan utjecaj na turističke odluke i da postoji potreba za daljnjim razvojem gastronomskog turizma. U radu su navedene preporuke za razvoj gastronomskog turizma u Hrvatskoj, kao što su jačanje suradnje između turističkih zajednica, ugostiteljskih objekata i lokalnih proizvođača hrane, ulaganje u obrazovanje osoblja, unaprjeđenje infrastrukture, promocija održive prakse i stvaranje integriranog nacionalnog plana razvoja gastronomskog turizma. Zaključeno je da gastronomija u Hrvatskoj predstavlja autentično iskustvo koje je privlačno turistima i ima pozitivan socioekonomski utjecaj na lokalne zajednice, stoga su daljnji razvoj i promocija gastronomskog turizma ključni, kako za turistički sektor, tako i za čitavo hrvatsko gospodarstvo.Gastronomic tourism is an increasingly important segment of the global tourism industry, and Croatia has a rich and diverse gastronomic tradition that contributes to this trend. This paper delves into the role of gastronomic tourism in Croatia, with an emphasis on recognizing the potential of Croatian gastronomy. The main thesis of the research is that gastronomy plays an important role in the promotion of tourism, and that, as a result, more and more specialized programs are being offered, with the primary goal of providing a gastronomic experience, whereby gastronomy is becoming, in an increasing number of cases, the main motivator for travel. The research explores Croatia's gastronomic offerings, analyzing their history, diversity and quality, as well as the existing specialized programs in gastronomic tourism. The research methodology involves analyzing, comparing, and studying relevant sources and studies on gastronomic tourism in Croatia, as well as the global tourism offerings, cultural heritage, and related disciplines. Also, surveys and interviews were conducted with tourist boards to determine the regions in Croatia that pay particular attention to providing quality and diverse gastronomic experiences for visitors, and that put the most effort into them. The research also investigates how much importance is generally attributed to gastronomic offerings, and identifies the most popular current forms of promotion. The study also addresses the negative aspects of Croatian gastronomy, including communication and language barriers. The research results highlight that gastronomy has a significant influence on tourists' decisions, and underscore the need for further development of gastronomic tourism. The paper contains recommendations for advancing gastronomic tourism in Croatia, such as fostering collaboration between tourist boards, catering establishments, and local food producers, investing in staff education, improving infrastructure, promoting sustainable practices, and creating a comprehensive national plan for the growth of gastronomic tourism. It is concluded that Croatia's gastronomy offers an authentic experience that appeals to tourists and has a positive socioeconomic impact on local communities. Consequently, the ongoing development and promotion of gastronomic tourism are crucial for both the tourism sector and the entire Croatian economy
