Information system for the grocery store
No full textTema ovog rada je informacijski sustav koji je namijenjen za trgovinu prehrambenom robom. Početak završnog rada odnosi se na teorijski dio samih informacijskih sustava, njihovu definicija, primjenu, objašnjene su metode, modeliranje procesa, modeliranje podataka koji su potrebni za pravljenje učinkovitog IS-a, nakon čega je prikazan primijenjeni dio rada. U primjenjenome dijelu rada važno je shvatiti misiju, viziju te cilj informacijskog sustava ne bi li informacijski sustav bio što učinkovitiji i uspješniji. Za ovaj sustav, koji je namijenjen trgovini prehrambenom robom, određeni su te objašnjeni procesi koji ga čine. Također, napravljena je analiza tih procesa pomoću dijagrama toka podataka (DTP), napravljen je ER model i relacijski model (RM) podataka. Urađena je normalizacija relacijskog modela čija je svrha smanjiti potrebu za ponavljanjem istih podataka i uštedjeti na prostoru. Pred sam kraj rada prikazani su algoritmi za testiranje sustava i ispitivanje njegove funkcionalnosti.The topic of this thesis is an information system intended for food trade within the grocery store. At the beginning of thesis, the theoretical part of the information systems is presented, their definition and use. There are also methods explained, process modeling, modeling of data needed to create an effective IS, after which the applied part of thesis is presented. In the applied part of thesis it is important to understand the mission, vision and the goal of the information system in order for the information system to be as efficient and successful as possible. For this system intended for food trade within the grocery store, the processes that make it up are determined and explained. An analysis of these processes was also performed using data flow diagrams (DFD), an ER model and a relational model (RM) of the data were created. The relational model was normalized where the purpose of it is to reduce the need to repeat the same data and save space.

Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of remote work on the example of the selected company
No full textNaglim i masovnim uvođenjem rada na daljinu s početkom 2020. godine zbog pandemije COVID – 19 valjalo je analizirati kako i na koji način uvoditi promjene i njima upravljati u organizaciji da bi zaposlenici organizacije ostali motivirani pri obavljanju posla. Za uvođenje promjena u organizaciji od velike je važnosti spoznaja koliko je komunikacija unutar poduzeća bitna kako bi promjene koje su planirane mogle rezultirati maksimalnim uspjehom poduzeća. Komunikacija je suština uspješnosti poduzeća i očitava se u prijenosu informacija, ideja, misli i stavova prvobitno između pojedinaca, a na kraju rezultira dobrom ili lošom slikom poduzeća. Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je analizirati prednosti i nedostatke rada na daljinu na primjeru brokerskog poduzeća. Kako bi se mogla dobiti slika zadovoljstva zaposlenika unutar brokerskog poduzeća s radom na daljinu, ispitala se radna motivacija i čimbenici koji su utjecali na zadovoljstvo poslom prema mišljenju ispitanika. Podaci su prikupljeni pomoću internetskog anketnog upitnika koji je distribuiran e-poštom brokerskoj kući, a njime je ispitano 22 ispitanika. Utvrdilo se da je ispitanicima od velike važnosti bila upravo komunikacija i način na koji se rad na daljinu uveo kao promjena u organizaciju da bi bili zadovoljni radom na daljinu i njegovom implementacijom.Through the sudden and mass introduction of telecommuting at the beginning of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to analyze how and in what way to introduce and manage changes in the organization to keep employees motivated to do business. To introduce changes in the organization, it is of great importance to know how important communication within the company is so that the changes that are planned can result in maximum success of the company. Communication is the essence of a company's success and is reflected in the transfer of information, ideas, thoughts and attitudes initially between individuals, and ultimately results in a good or bad image of the company. The aim of this final paper was to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking on the example of a brokerage firm. In order to get a picture of employee satisfaction within a brokerage firm with teleworking, work motivation and factors influencing job satisfaction were examined according to the respondents. Data were collected using an online survey questionnaire distributed by e-mail to a brokerage house in which a total of 22 respondents were surveyed. It was found that in order to be satisfied with telecommuting and its implementation, communication and the way in which telecommuting was introduced as a change in the organization was of great importance to the respondents
Rodna neravnopravnost: podzastupljenost žena kao sugovornica u televizijskim emisijama
No full textProblematika rodne ravnopravnosti u medijima tema je brojnih provedenih istraživanja koja svjedoče da su žene podzastupljene u medijima na razne načine. U fokusu ovoga istraživanja odnos je broja muškaraca i žena na uzorku tri vrlo gledane televizijske emisije (u formi talkshowa) u kojima se, osim omjera žena i muškaraca koji gostuju u tim emisijama, prikazuje i analiza tema u slučajevima kada su žene sugovornice (predstavljaju li one sebe osobno ili gostuju zato što su relevantne sugovornice za temu emisije?). Cilj rada bio je ispitati udio žena u tri razgovorne emisije hrvatskih nacionalnih televizijskih kuća te su u tu svrhu odabrane emisije: RTL Direkt, HTV-ova Nedjeljom u 2 i Pressing N1 televizije. Nastojalo se analizirati koliko je ukupno žena gostovalo u odabranom uzorku emisija te pozivaju li se žene češće na razgovore o temama koje se u medijima stereotipno prikazuju kao ženske ili ih se poziva kao stručnjakinje u određenom području kojim se bave i na razgovore o temama iz politike, gospodarstva, znanosti itd. Kvantitativnom analizom analizirano je ukupno 120 emisija te je analiza pokazala izrazitu podzastupljenost žena u ukupnom broju sugovornika emisija, a broj epizoda u kojima su žene sudionice kao stručnjakinje ili komentatorice još je upola manji. Jedino je analiza emisije NU2 pokazala da je svih 7 žena u 40 emisija sudjelovalo kao relevantne i kompetentne sugovornice o svojoj struci, no to se možda izdvojilo zbog drugačijega pristupa uredništva emisije, iako je broj gošći bio najmanji u odnosu na druge analizirane emisije. Ovim je istraživanjem neupitno dokazana neravnopravnost spolova u medijskim sadržajima koji su analizirani u ovom radu.The issue of gender equality in the media is the subject of many studies showing that women are underrepresented in the media in all aspects. This thesis focuses on the ratio of men to women appearing in a sample taken from three popular television talk shows. Furthermore, besides determining the share of women and men who appear as guests on these shows, this thesis also offers an analysis of the issues being discussed when women are guests and whether they are representing themselves or if they are invited because they are relevant as interlocutors for the topic of a particular episode. The goal of this thesis is to determine the share of women appearing in three talk shows airing on Croatian national TV channels. The selected talk shows are: RTL Direkt, HTV’s Nedjeljom u 2, and Pressing on N1 television. This thesis looks at how many women appeared in a sample of episodes of these programs and whether women were invited to appear more often when the shows featured topics that are stereotyped as women’s issues in the media or because they are experts in their respective fields when it comes to politics, economics, science, etc. A quantitative analysis was performed on 120 episodes of these programs and it showed that women were significantly underrepresented as guests overall, while the number of episodes in which women appeared as experts or commentators was even smaller by half. Only the analysis of the program NU2 showed that all 7 women in 40 episodes appeared as relevant and competent individuals in their respective fields, however, this may be due to the different editorial approach of this program, despite the fact that the number of women guests on the program was smaller in comparison to the other programs subjected to the same analysis. Certainly, this thesis indisputably proved that gender inequality was present in the media content analyzed in this research
Organization of events at hotel Esplanade Zagreb during the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textOrganizacija događanja jedna je od usluga koja uvelike pridonosi ugledu i uspješnosti hotela. Dolaskom COVID-19 pandemije promijenio se način poslovanja u svijetu turizma pa tako i u Esplanade Zagreb hotelu. Mjere stožera najviše su odnosile se na okupljanja ljudi što je event menadžerima drastično otežalo proces poslovanja. Cilj ovog rada bio je prikazati na koji način je Esplanade Zagreb hotel, konkretno odjel za organizaciju događanja odgovorio na postavljene izazove u vrijeme COVID-19 pandemije. Provedenim istraživanjem u radu zaključuje se kako je unatoč velikom padu prometa odjel za organizaciju događanja u Esplanade Zagreb hotelu pokazao inovativnost i prilagodljivost u novonastaloj situaciji. Za postizanje cilja koristile su se istraživačke metode polustrukturiranog intervjua i usporedbe.The organization of events is one of the services that greatly contributes to a hotel's reputation and success. With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the way of doing business in the world of tourism has changed, including the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel. The measures introduced by the Civil Protection Headquarters were mostly related to social gatherings, which made the business process drastically more difficult for event managers. The aim of this paper was to show how the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel, specifically the events department, responded to the challenges posed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research carried out in the paper concludes that, despite the big drop in visitors, the department in charge of organizing events at the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel showed innovation and adaptability to the new situation. To achieve the goal, research methods of semi-structured interview and comparison were used.

The impact of strategic approach to digital transformation on retail during COVID-19
No full textPredmet istraživanja u ovom radu je utjecaj strateškog pristupa digitalnoj transformaciji na maloprodaju u vrijeme Covid-19. U radu je analiziran maloprodajni sektor Republike Hrvatske, s obzirom da se radi o jednom od sektora izravno pogođenih mjerama suzbijanja pandemije. Maloprodaja je suočena s velikim izazovima zbog velike mobilnosti potrošača, potrebe za snažnom orijentacijom na praćenje i analizu ponašanja potrošača, te prelaska na online, odnosno e-trgovinu. Stoga je digitalna transformacija poslovanja maloprodaje neizbježna. Digitalizacija u poslovnom kontekstu, definira kao koncept više automatiziranih i digitalnih operacija. Digitalna transformacija odnosi se na korištenje digitalnih tehnologija za transformaciju tvrtke koja stvara poslovnu vrijednost. Kod maloprodajnih poduzeća Republike Hrvatske postoji svijest o nužnosti digitalne transformacije, no ona se i uslijed Covid-19 i promjena u poslovanju većine poduzeća nije drastično mijenjala. Iako su promjene vidljive i dalje se radi o malim koracima napretka. Budući trendovi svakako će i dalje nametati nužnost potpune digitalne transformacije maloprodajnih poduzeća. Maloprodajna poduzeća moraju mijenjati svoj tradicionalan način rada, približiti se kupcu i obogatiti njegovo iskustvo kupnje. Sve navedeno moguće je isključivo tehnologijom i digitalnom transformacijom.The subject of research in this paper is the impact of a strategic approach to digital transformation on retail sales in the time of Covid-19. The paper analyzes the retail sector of the Republic of Croatia, given that it is one of the sectors directly affected by measures to combat the pandemic. Retail is faced with major challenges due to the high mobility of consumers, the need for a strong orientation to monitoring and analyzing consumer behavior, and the transition to online, i.e., e-commerce. Therefore, the digital transformation of the retail business is inevitable. Digitization in the business context is defined as the concept of more automated and digital operations. Digital transformation refers to the use of digital technologies to transform a company that creates business value. Retail companies in the Republic of Croatia are aware of the necessity of digital transformation, but it has not drastically changed due to Covid-19 and changes in the operations of most companies. Although the changes are visible, they are still small steps of progress. Future trends will certainly continue to impose the necessity of complete digital transformation of retail companies. Retail companies must change their traditional way of working, get closer to the customer and enrich their shopping experience. All of the above is possible only through technology and digital transformation

No full textGlavni je cilj ovog diplomskog rada analiza utjecaja pandemije Covid-19 na proračun jedinice lokalne samouprave odnosno, Grada Splita. Proračun predstavlja čimbenik koji utječe na rast i razvoj korisnika proračuna, ekonomski rast, kvalitetu, zaposlenost te ostale čimbenike i aspekte sustava. Proračunom se nastoje ostvariti potrebe svih građana, poboljšati kvalitetu života i unaprijediti karakteristike proračunskih korisnika. Proračun Grada Splita predstavlja akt putem kojeg su iskazani svi planirani godišnji prihodi i primici te svi rashodi i izdaci Grada u jednoj fiskalnoj godini koja traje od 1. siječnja do 31. prosinca. Korisnici proračuna Grada Splita predstavljaju gradske institucije koje su financirane iz gradskog proračuna te djeluju pod nadzorom Grada Splita. Prihodi i primici proračuna Grada Splita podijeljeni su u tri osnovne kategorije, a to su: prihodi od prodaje nefinancijske imovine, prihodi od poslovanja te primici od financijske imovine i zaduživanja. Što se tiče proračunskih rashoda i izdataka Grada Splita, oni su također podijeljeni u tri kategorije: rashodi za nabavu nefinancijske imovine, rashodi poslovanja te izdaci za financijsku imovinu i zaduživanja. Pandemija Covid-19 utjecala je na život cijelog svijeta pa tako i na Hrvatsku i Split te njihove proračune. Cilj je rada analizirati koliki je zapravo utjecaj imala pandemija na proračun, prihode, rashode te planove Grada Splita te usporediti proračun iz 2020. godine s proračunima iz prethodnih nekoliko godina i analizirati promjene koje su se dogodile.The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the budget of the local government, ie the City of Split. The budget is a factor that affects the growth and development of budget users, economic growth, quality, employment and other factors and aspects of the system. The budget seeks to meet the needs of all citizens, improve the quality of life and improve the characteristics of budget users. The budget of the City of Split is an act through which all planned annual revenues and receipts and all expenditures and expenses of the City in one fiscal year lasting from 1 January to 31 December are presented. Users of the budget of the City of Split represent city institutions that are financed from the city budget and operate under the supervision of the City of Split.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the pandemic on the budget, revenues, receipts and plans of the City of Split and compare the budget from 2020 with the budgets from previous years and analyze the changes that have occurred
Ključni faktori uspjeha kod implementacije poslovne analitike u modernim tvrtkama
No full textPoslovna analitika i poslovna inteligencija (eng. business intelligence, BI) su discipline koje se isprepliću, a glavna svrha im je potpora odlučivanju.
Poslovna analitika je iterativan i metodičan proces istraživanja podataka organizacije. Poslovnu analitiku koriste tvrtke čije se odluke baziraju i provode na temelju podataka koje posjeduju. Dakle, poslovna analitika pomaže poslovnim korisnicima (upravi, menadžerima, direktorima, ali i zaposlenicima uključenim u operativne procese) kako bi donijeli ispravne poslovne odluke upotrebom pouzdanih informacija u pravome trenutku.
Prema dostupnoj literaturi može se zaključiti da, iako je poslovna analitika široko rasprostranjena, još nije ispravno shvaćena i korištena u modernim tvrtkama. Nedavno izvješće Gartnera1 (Gartner je cijenjena međunarodna organizacija koja se bavi istraživanjem u području informacijske tehnologije) pokazuje da 87% organizacija ima niske indekse poslovne analitike i da 60% implementacijskih inicijativa ne uspije. Prema Gartneru, glavni razlozi za takvu situaciju su:
• naslijeđena tehnologija,
• loše planiranje i nedostatak upravljanja projektom,
• nedostatak podrške menadžmenta,
• ignoriranje krajnjeg korisnika,
• podaci niske kvalitete i
• podcijenjen opseg projekta.
U ovome radu će se metodom intervjua sa ključnim zaposlenicima pet hrvatskih tvrtki koje su se bavile implementacijom poslovne analitike istražiti ključni faktori koji doprinose uspješnoj implementaciji poslovne analitike u modernim tvrtkama.Business analytics and business intelligence are interwoven disciplines whose main purpose is to support decision making.
Business analytics is an iterative and methodical process of data exploration in organizations. Business analytics is used by organizations to make and implement decisions based on the data they have. So, business analytics helps users (board, managers, directors, as well as employees involved in operational processes) to make the right business decisions based on reliable information at the right time.
According to the available literature, it can be concluded that, although business analytics is widely used, it is not yet properly understood and used in modern enterprises. A recent report by Gartner (Gartner is a respected international organization involved in information technology research) shows that 87% of companies have a low index of business analytics and that 60% of implementation initiatives fail.
According to Gartner, the main reasons for such situations are:
• inherited technology,
• poor planning and lack of project management,
• lack of management support,
• ignoring the end user,
• inferior data and
• underestimating the scope of the project.
In this paper, five key employees of Croatian companies who have been involved in the implementation of business analytics are interviewed to examine the key factors that have contributed to the successful implementation of business analytics in modern companies
Analysis of possibilities for increasing the placement of finished products of the Croatian wood industry
No full textU cijelom radu je kroz prizmu teorijskog okvira obrađena analiza mogućnosti za povećanje plasmana gotovih proizvoda hrvatske drvne industrije, koja ima velikih potencijala za daljnji napredak kroz implementaciju novih rješenja. Prikazano je stanje drvne industrije u Europskoj uniji i Republici Hrvatskoj te su utvrđene određene sličnosti u vidu financijskih poteškoća u poduzećima, nedostatka kvalificirane radne snage, važnosti inovacija, ali i razlike poput drugačijeg načina funkcioniranja klastera. Provedeno je 6 dubinskih intervjua s predstavnicima poduzeća i institucija koji su dali odgovore na postavljena pitanja o trendovima u proizvodnji, uvozu i izvozu industrijskog sektora prerade drva i proizvodnje namještaja, kao i barijerama ulaska na tržište poduzećima koja bi se željela baviti preradom drva i proizvodnjom namještaja. Nadalje, utvrđene su mogućnosti i ograničenja s kojima su suočena poduzeća drvne industrije u proizvodnji i plasmanu proizvoda više dodane vrijednosti te značaj klastera i njihov utjecaj na poduzeća. Analizom dobivenih rezultata utvrđeni su ključni čimbenici u rješavanju glavnog cilja rada te su donesene smjernice, koje su potencijalno ponudile realistična i kvalitetna rješenja za povećanje plasmana gotovih proizvoda hrvatske drvne industrije. Preporučena su daljnja istraživanja koja bi dala prijedloge novih rješenja poduzećima, kao odgovor na sve ključne čimbenike i ograničenja s kojima se susreću u poslovanju.In this paper, the analysis of possibilities for increasing the placement of finished products of the Croatian wood industry, which has a great potential for further progress through the implementation of new solutions, is presented through the prism of theoretical framework. The paper shows the condition of the wood industry in the European Union and the Republic of Croatia. Certain similarities were determined in the form of financial difficulties in companies, lack of qualified labor, the importance of innovation, but also certain differences, such as a different way of cluster functioning. Six in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives of companies and institutions who gave answers to the questions about the trends in production, import and export of the industrial sector of wood processing and furniture production, as well as about the barriers to market entry for the companies that would like to engage in such industry. Furthermore, opportunities and limitations faced by wood industry companies in the production and placement of products with higher added value were determined, as well as the importance of clusters and their impact on companies. The analysis of the obtained results defined the key factors in solving the main goal of this paper. Moreover, guidelines that potentially offered realistic and high-quality solutions for increasing the placement of finished products of the Croatian wood industry were also adopted. A recommendation was given for further research that could suggest new solutions to companies, as a response to all the key factors and limitations they face in their business
