    Tema ovog diplomskog stručnog rada je analiza društvenih mreža Twitter, Facebook i Instagram najviših političkih dužnosnika u Hrvatskoj uslijed krize uzrokovane potresom u Zagrebu i potresom u Petrinji. S obzirom na sve veću popularnost novih medija, pretpostavlja se da se i politička komunikacija uslijed krize odvija na društvenim mrežama. Osim analize političke komunikacije putem novih medija, analiziraju se i službenih medijski istupi kao kanali komunikacije prema javnosti. Analiza sadržaja provedena je temeljem analitičke matrice, a problem koji se želi istražiti ovim radom je nedovoljna istraženost načina komuniciranja političkih dužnosnika na najvišim javnim pozicijama u krizama izazvanim potresima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Kao zaključak ovog istraživanja treba reći kako najviši politički dužnosnici nisu imali unaprijed pripremljenu matricu krizne komunikacije, kako na društvenim mrežama tako i u službenim izjavama za medije. Autorica smatra kako je tome tako jer unutar cjelokupnog državnog sustava ne postoji konstantna priprema krizne komunikacije za moguće krizne situacije, kao što je potres.The topic of this graduate thesis is the analysis of Croatia’s highest political officials’ social network handles, namely of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram in the midst of the crisis caused by the earthquakes in Zagreb and Petrinja. Given the growing popularity of new media, it is assumed that political crisis communication also takes place on social networks. In addition to the analysis of political communications through new media, official media appearances are also analyzed as well as channels of communication to the public. The content analysis was conducted on the basis of an analytical matrix, and the problem that this graduate thesis seeks to explore is the insufficiency of research regarding the manner of communication adopted by the highest ranking public officials in the Republic of Croatia during earthquake crisis. As a conclusion of this research, it is important to note that the highest ranking political officials did not have a pre-prepared crisis communication matrix on social media networks nor in their official statements for the media. The author is of the opinion that this is due to the fact that there is no clear preparation of crisis communications in advance for possible critical situations, such as earthquakes, but also others, within the state system

    U ovome radu obrađuje se tema funkcije strateškog menadžmenta u Hotelu Osijek. Menadžment predstavlja sposobnost usmjeravanja poslova djelatnika poduzeća radi ostvarivanja ciljeva organizacije, dok je strateški menadžment dio menadžmenta koji se bazira na dugoročnim ciljevima i planovima. Strateško upravljanje je temelj uspjeha u poslovanju 21. stoljeća. Menadžment poduzeća strategijom upućuje sve sudionike poslovnog subjekta na to koji su ciljevi, na koji način će ispuniti svoju misiju te ostvariti planirane ciljeve. U neposrednoj suradnji s vlasnikom ili vlasnicima poduzeća, menadžment definira strategiju na temelju realne, odnosno trenutne situacije. Bitno je naglasiti kako bi svaki poslovni subjekt trebao oblikovati strategiju koja je odgovarajuća u njegovoj situaciji i koja se razlikuje od strategija konkurencije, dok se u poslovanju treba voditi postavljenim strateškim izborima. Temeljne aktivnosti u procesu strateškog menadžmenta najčešće su definiranje, implementiranje, te preispitivanje vizije i misije poslovanja, definiranje i realizacija strateških financijskih i nefinancijskih ciljeva poduzeća, raspodjela resursa, upravljanje poduzećem, kontrola, praćenje i valoriziranje rezultata, te konstantno unošenje prilagodbi u dijelove strategije. Cilj je ovog rada dati sustavni pregled i kritički vrednovati temeljne strategije i ulogu menadžmenta u njihovoj realizaciji. U istraživačkom dijelu ovog rada korištena je metoda analize poslovnog slučaja u poduzeću Hotel Osijek d.o.o., te metoda intervjua s ključnom osobom iz Hotela.The following paper discusses the functions of strategic management in Hotel Osijek. Management stands for the manager's ability to direct the work of employees to achieve the goals of the organisation, while strategic management is a part of management based on long-term goals and plans. Strategic management is the foundation for success in the 21st century. Managing an organisation with its strategy directs and reminds all employees of their goals and how they will fulfil the organisation's plans, plans, mission and vision. In close cooperation with the owner of the company, the management sets its strategy based on the real situation. It is important to say that every company should develop a strategy that suits its situation and is different from the strategy of its competitors. The basic activities in the process of strategic management are mainly the definition, implementation and questioning of the mission and vision of the organisation, the definition and implementation of strategic, financial and non-financial goals, the allocation of resources, management with the organisation, control, fulfilment and evaluation of results and constant adjustment of parts of the strategy. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic overview of the basic strategies and the role of management in their implementation and critically evaluate them. In the research part of this paper, the method of business case analysis in the company Hotel Osijek was used, as well as the method of interviewing the key stakeholder from the Hotel

    Manager's emotional intelligence

    No full text
    Utjecaj emocija na ljudsko ponašanje proučava se godinama, ali tek definiranjem konstrukta emocionalne inteligencije postaje jasniji značaj ove vrste sposobnosti u osobnom i profesionalnom životu. Budući da svaka organizacija teži pozitivnim ciljevima, osvještavanje i razvoj emocionalnih kompetencija predstavljaju jedan od poslovnih izazova današnjice. Kako bi se u konačnici moglo uspješno upravljati organizacijama, timovima i odnosima s pojedincima, vrlo je važno znati prepoznati, razumjeti i upravljati vlastitim emocijama, kao i prepoznati i razumjeti emocije drugih ljudi. Menadžer s visoko razvijenom emocionalnom inteligencijom uspješno će upravljati i sobom i odnosima s drugima te tako poticati pozitivnu i konstruktivnu radnu atmosferu koja će za posljedicu imati i bolje poslovne rezultate. Cilj istraživanja bio je saznati kako ispitanici percipiraju značaj emocionalne inteligencije na poslu te kako procjenjuju razvijenost vlastitih emocionalnih kompetencija. Korišten je anketni upitnik koji su ispunila 32 ispitanika obaju spolova zaposlena na različitim menadžerskim pozicijama u 12 hrvatskih poduzeća. Rezultati su pokazali kako su ispitanici upoznati s pojmom i značajem emocionalne inteligencije u poslovnom okruţenju. Također, smatraju da je poželjno testirati emocionalnu inteligenciju pri zapošljavanju. Samoprocjene svih pet emocionalnih kompetencija ukazuju na to da ih većina ispitanika ne smatra svojom jakom stranom, već da postoji potreba za njihovim razvojem.The influence of emotions on human behavior has been studied for years, but only with the emergence and study of the construct of emotional intelligence the importance of this type of ability in personal and professional life becomes clearer. Considering that every organization strives to achieve positive goals, awareness and development of emotional competencies are one of the business challenges of today. In order to ultimately be able to successfully manage organizations, teams and relationships with individuals, it is imperative to know how to recognize, understand, and manage one’s own emotions as well as recognize and understand other people’s emotions. A manager with highly developed emotional intelligence will successfully manage both himself and relationships with others, thus encouraging a positive and constructive work environment that will result in better business results. The aim of the research was to find out how the respondents perceive the importance of emotional intelligence at work and how they assess the development of their own emotional competencies. Therefore, a survey was conducted using a questionnaire with 32 respondents of both sexes who are in different managerial positions in 12 Croatian companies. The results showed that the respondents were familiar with the concept and importance of emotional intelligence in a business environment. They also find it desirable to conduct emotional intelligence tests in the recruitment process. Self-assessments of all five emotional competencies indicate that most respondents do not consider them their strengths but that there is a need for their development

    Turističke agencije pravovremenom i pravilnom primjenom tehnologije u poslovanju, povećavaju i unaprjeđuju svoju ponudu, te postaju sve dostupnije korisnicima. Kvalitetna povezanost korisnika i turističke agencije je od velike važnosti, stoga sve što može osigurati i unaprijediti povezanost neophodno je primijeniti u poslovanju.

    Investicijski fondovi i ulaganja u investicijske fondove aktualna su tema u Europskoj uniji jer se želi potaknuti veća investiranja, no dovodi se u pitanje porezni tretman. Cilj je ulaganja u investicijske fondove ulagati u imovinu, odnosno u novčani, obveznički, mješoviti ili dionički fond te ostvariti koristi. Kako se prilikom ulaganja u fond investitor treba detaljno informirati o svim aspektima ulaganja, poput pravnih oblika, računovodstvenih propisa ili poreznog aspekta te navedeni elementi prilikom pretraživanja na internetskom pregledniku nisu dostupni, autorica je rada odlučila prikazati sve specifičnosti ulaganja u investicijske fondove. Prilikom istraživanja autorica se koristila literaturom iz područja financijskih institucija i tržišta, računovodstva i financijskog izvještavanja investicijskih fondova, oporezivanja, i pravne regulative investicijskih fondova Europske unije. Istraživanjem se ustanovilo kako oporezivanje investicijskih fondova vezano uz zemlje članice Europske unije nije jedinstveno, već svaka zemlja koristi model oporezivanja i propisa za koje smatra da više odgovara investitorima, pa se time dovodi u pitanje i dvostruko oporezivanje. Iako je Republika Hrvatska uspostavila ugovore o izbjegavanju dvostrukog oporezivanja s nekim zemljama, može doći do oporezivanja ako se ne ispune svi zahtjevi za njegovim izbjegavanjem. Time je porezni aspekt jedan od najvećih problema investicijskih fondova. Prihvaćanjem rješenja svih država članica Europske unije o jedinstvenom poreznom okviru, olakšalo bi se, ali i privuklo više investitora.Investment funds and investments in investment funds are a current topic in the European Union because they want to encourage more investment, but tax treatment is at stake. The goal of investing in investment funds is to invest in assets, ie in money, bonds, mixed or equity funds, and to realize benefits. As the investor should be informed in detail about all aspects of the investment, such as legal forms, accounting regulations or tax aspects, and these elements are not available when searching on a browser, the author decided to show all the specifics of investing in mutual funds. During the research, the author used literature from the field of financial institutions and markets, accounting and financial reporting of investment funds, taxation, and legal regulations of investment funds of the European Union. The research found that the taxation of investment funds related to EU member states is not unique, but each country uses a model of taxation and regulations that it considers more suitable for investors. This calls into question double taxation, although the Republic of Croatia has established agreements on the avoidance of double taxation with some countries, taxation may occur if all avoidance requirements are not met. Thus, the tax aspect is one of the biggest problems of investment funds. Accepting the solution of all EU member states on a single tax framework would facilitate, but also attract more investors

    Turizam kao jedna od društveno-ekonomskih pojava, zbog snažnog utjecaja na ekonomiju i gospodarski razvoj, predmet je brojnih znanstvenih istraživanja. Kroz povijest se turizam širio uz trgovinu, religiju, zdravlje i obrazovanje, a naposljetku razvojem tehnologije i prometa dostigao suvremeni oblik. Diversifikacija i segmentacija transformirali su turizam iz masovnog u multidiversificirani i odmore iz unificiranih u personalizirane. Dinamičnost turizma dovela je do stvaranja različitih trendova. Političke nesigurnosti su prevladane, vraćeno je povjerenje u putovanja i odmore, a turistička industrija nastavlja rasti. Ovakvi pozitivni pomaci potaknuti su tradicionalno jakim emitivnim tržištima država Zapadnog svijeta uz snažan rast putovanja iz država Azije i Južne Amerike. Posljedice masovnog turizma odnosno prekomjerne posjećenosti izazivaju probleme u destinacijama diljem svijeta, stoga se traže nova rješenja kako bi se suzbili takvi problemi i postigao održivi turizam. Nove generacije turista, zbog digitalnih i globalnih osobina mijenjaju turističku potražnju i sudjeluju u transformaciji luksuznog turizma gdje potrebe za posjedovanjem prelaze u potrebe za iskustvima i doživljajima. Hrvatski turizam raste već niz godina, ponajviše zahvaljujući velikom broju turista iz srednje i zapadne Europe. Obilježava ga visoka sezonalnost, slaba ponuda te mali udio hotelskog sektora, što ga u konačnici ne čini održivim. Ovaj rad provedenom analizom prikazuje kako globalni trendovi utječu na domaći turizam, što je ostvareno strateškim planiranjem razvoja turizma i što je nužno učiniti kako bi se uskladili s trendovima i ostvarili održivi turizam.Tourism as one of the socio-economic phenomena has been the subject of numerous scientific researches because of its strong influence on the economy and economic development. Throughout history, tourism has begun to expand together with trade and later through religion, health and education. The development of technology and transport has significantly influenced the tourism of today. Tourism has undergone a few transformation phases, mass and unified tourism is diversifying and segmenting, so vacations are becoming more personalized. The tourism industry is growing year by year and is one of the drivers of global economy. Europe is the main driver of world tourism. Almost half of the total tourist arrivals and revenues are made by European citizens, followed by Asia and Oceania with multiple interregional trips and the Americas with strong outbound tourism. Destinations around the world have problems with over-tourism, so their management is looking for new strategies to achieve sustainability throughout the year. Millennials make up 40 % of all tourists, their spending and number of trips continue to grow. They are advanced consumers, much more digital and global so demand on the market is changing. Every year Croatian tourism is recording a growth in tourist arrivals and revenues. Most tourists come from central and western Europe and other European countries, and then from other parts of the world, following world trends. Compared to other competitors, there is a smaller proportion of hotel accommodation and high seasonality. In order to develop sustainable tourism in line with global trends, new strategies and policies are being adopted to develop Croatian tourism

    Farmaceutske tvrtke u Republici Hrvatskoj većinom ostvaruju vrlo visoke prihode i zaradu, generiraju velike novčane tokove, ali i imaju visoke troškove poslovanja. Uz složene i vrlo nepovoljne uvjete poslovanja na domaćem tržištu, ne postoji garancija da će se uspješno poslovanje dugoročno održati. Financijski pokazatelji prikazuju uspješnost poslovanja nekog poduzeća. Analizom trenda i stavljanjem odabranih pokazatelja u međusobni odnos, stvara se kvalitetnija podloga za poboljšanje poslovanja u budućnosti i predviđanje potencijalnih problema i rizika. Stoga će se u radu promatrati odabrani financijski pokazatelji (posebno EBITDA marža) vodećih farmaceutskih tvrtki, njihovi utjecaji na poslovanje tvrtke i pripadajući trendovi kroz vremenski period od 2015. do 2020. godine. Putem rezultata navedene analize utvrdit će se stupanj financijske uspješnosti poslovanja svake tvrtke, samostalno i u odnosu na konkurenciju, kao i postoji li mogućnost za napredak.Most of pharmaceutical companies in the Republic of Croatia make high incomes and profits, generate large cash flows, but very high operating costs as well. With complex and very unfavorable business conditions in the domestic market, there is no guarantee that a successful business will maintain over the long term. Financial indicators measure a level of success of a certain business. Using trend-analysis of selected financial indicators and putting them in relation, a better basis is created for improving business in future, anticipating potential problems and risks. Therefore, selected financial indicators of leading pharmaceutical companies will be presented in this paper (especially the EBITDA margin), as well as their impacts on the company’s operations and associated trends over the period from 2015 to 2020. The results of this analysis will determine the level of financial performance of each company, independently and compared to the competition, as well as whether there is room for improvement

    Razvoj tehnologije i pojava interneta uzrokovali su velike promjene u ljudskim životima i njihovim navikama. Promjene su se dogodile ne samo na poslovnoj razini nego i na privatnoj, u svakodnevnim obavezama. Ni kupovina više nije samo odlazak u dućan. Zahvaljujući blagodatima interneta, kupovati se može proizvode iz cijeloga svijeta, iz udobnosti vlastitog doma, samo jednim klikom. Online kupovina sve je prisutnija na domaćem tržištu i postavlja se pitanje hoće li u cijelosti zamijeniti tradicionalnu. Poznato je da mlađa populacija vjerno prati nove trendove na tržištu pa je prepoznata potreba za istraživanjem stavova studenata prema online kupovini te je provedeno anketno istraživanje. Prigodnim uzorkom obuhvaćeni studenti su s područja grada Zagreba (N=130). Rezultati istraživanja potvrdili su da ispitanici kupuju online, da imaju pozitivan stav o internetskoj kupovini te da smatraju da online kupovina u budućnosti neće moći u potpunosti zamijeniti tradicionalnu kupovinu. Za daljnja istraživanja preporučuje se uključiti u uzorak i ostale studente u Republici Hrvatskoj, iz drugih gradova, kako bi se dobila šira slika o njihovim stavovima prema online kupovini.The development of technology and the emergence of the internet has made major changes in people's lives and their habits. The changes have occurred not only on the business level, but also on private, everyday commitments. Shopping isn't just going to the store anymore. Thanks to the benefits of the internet, you can buy products from all over the world, from the comfort of your home, with just one click. Online shopping is increasingly present on the domestic market and the question arises, whether it will completely replace traditional shopping. It is known that the younger population faithfully follows new trends on the market, so it is recognized the need to explore attitudes towards online shopping from prospective students. Due to this reason, a survey was conducted to determine students´ attitude towards online shopping. The convenience sample includes students from City of Zagreb (N=130). Research finding have shown that respondents shop online, have a positive attitude about online shopping, and believe that online shopping in the future will not be able to completely replace traditional shopping. Further research should include a sample of other students in the Republic of Croatia from other cities, in order to obtain a broader picture of students and their attitude towards online shopping
