Improvement of business processes in the company Deportivo d.o.o.
Get PDFProcesi se odvijajo na vsakem koraku življenja. Čeprav jih v vsakdanjem življenju ne definiramo tako pogosto, je za organizacije bistvenega pomena, da te jasno opredelijo njihove poslovne procese. Z naraščajočo mednarodno konkurenco se organizacije danes spopadajo z izzivi za svoj obstoj. Z namenom preživetja v konkurenčnem mednarodnem okolju se veliko organizacij odloča za prenovo svojih poslovnih procesov, kar pa povzroči še druge organizacijske spremembe. V diplomskem delu smo najprej opredelili poslovne procese, management poslovnih procesov in organizacijsko strukturo podjetij, pri čemer smo podrobneje obravnavali funkcijsko in procesno organizacijsko strukturo. V nadaljevanju smo opredelili prenovo poslovnih procesov ter sistematizacijo delovnih mest. V aplikativnem delu smo opisali in analizirali poslovne procese, organizacijsko strukturo in delovna mesta v podjetju Deportivo, d. o. o. Prišli smo do spoznanja, da je treba poslovne procese izboljšati, saj so ti trenutno neoptimalni in zaradi njih prihaja do težav. V nadaljevanju smo podali ter analizirali predloge izboljšav za obravnavano podjetje ter ocenili učinke predlaganih sprememb. Ugotovili smo, da bi spremembe v organizacijski strukturi in izboljšanje poslovnih procesov pozitivno vplivali na delovanje in poslovanje podjetja. Prišli smo do spoznanja, da prenova poslovnih procesov ni enkraten projekt, vendar da je treba procese posodabljati in prenavljati skozi celoten življenjski cikel podjetja. Prenova poslovnih procesov velikokrat privede tudi do organizacijskih sprememb. Za lažji potek dela po prenovi imajo podjetja idealno priložnost, da posodobijo ali na novo napišejo sistematizacijo delovnih mest.Proceses unfold at every step of life. Although they might not be defined as frequnetly in everyday life, it is crucial for organizations to clearly define their business processes. With the increasnig international competition, organizations nowdays face challenges for the survival. With the aim of thriving in this competitive international environment, many organizations are choosing for renovating their business procesess, often leading to organizational changes. In the thesis, we first defined business processes, business process management, and the organizational structures of companies, delving into functional and process-based organizational structures in more detail. In the applied part, we identified and analyzed the business processes, organizational structure, and job positions of the company Deportivo d.o.o.. We came to the realization that it is necessary to improve the business processes, as they are currently suboptimal and causing certain issues. Furthermore, we provided and analyzed improvement suggestions for the company, assessing the effects of the proposed changes. We found that changes in the organizational structure and improvements in the business processes would have a positive impact on the company\u27s operation and performance. We came to the realization that business process reengineering is not a one-time project but rather a continuous process that needs to be updated and renewed throughout the entire lifecycle of the company. Business process reengineering often leads to organizational changes as well. To facilitate the smooth operation after the reengineering, companies have an ideal opportunity to update or create job position systematization
Organizational culture in small enterprises
Get PDFOrganizacijska kultura je eden ključnih dejavnikov, ki pomembno vpliva na uspešnost podjetja, zavzetost in zadovoljstvo zaposlenih ter dolgoročno stabilnost organizacije. Posebej izrazito se njen pomen kaže v malih podjetjih, kjer se zaradi manjšega števila zaposlenih oblikujejo intenzivnejši medosebni odnosi, vsak posameznik pa ima večji vpliv na kulturo podjetja. Mala podjetja se pogosto soočajo z omejenimi viri, kadrovsko fluktuacijo in izzivi pri oblikovanju spodbudnega delovnega okolja, kar lahko vodi v nestabilnost in zmanjšano produktivnost. V teh okoliščinah postane organizacijska kultura temeljni element, ki lahko bodisi prispeva k uspešnosti bodisi predstavlja oviro pri njenem razvoju. V teoretičnem delu naloge so predstavljeni različni modeli organizacijske kulture in dejavniki, ki vplivajo na njen nastanek, oblikovanje in spreminjanje. Analizirani so tudi vplivi močne in šibke kulture ter posebnosti kulture v malih podjetjih v primerjavi z večjimi organizacijami. Poudarjena je vloga vodstva in zaposlenih pri oblikovanju skupnih vrednot, norm in vedenjskih vzorcev ter pomen skladnosti kulture s strateškimi cilji podjetja. Empirični del temelji na raziskavi, izvedeni v štirih slovenskih malih podjetjih, kjer je bil z anketnim vprašalnikom analiziran vpliv organizacijske kulture na zadovoljstvo, motivacijo, predanost, zavzetost, produktivnost in kakovost medosebnih odnosov. Rezultati kažejo, da močnejša in jasneje razvita organizacijska kultura pozitivno vpliva na motivacijo, zavzetost in predanost zaposlenih, hkrati pa prispeva k boljši kakovosti odnosov in večji učinkovitosti dela. Nasprotno pa šibka kultura pogosto vodi v nezadovoljstvo, pomanjkanje motivacije ter slabšo produktivnost. Na podlagi ugotovitev so oblikovani konkretni predlogi za izboljšanje organizacijske kulture v malih podjetjih, kot so krepitev komunikacije, spodbujanje sodelovanja, razvoj vodstvenih kompetenc ter ustvarjanje bolj spodbudnega delovnega okolja. Naloga tako ponuja praktične smernice, ki lahko malim podjetjem služijo kot podlaga za sistematično gradnjo in utrjevanje organizacijske kulture, kar prispeva k dolgoročni uspešnosti in stabilnosti poslovanja.Organizational culture is one of the key factors that significantly influences a company’s success, employee engagement and satisfaction, as well as the long-term stability of the organization. Its importance is particularly evident in small businesses, where the smaller number of employees fosters more intensive interpersonal relationships, and each individual has a greater impact on the company’s culture. Small businesses often face limited resources, employee turnover, and challenges in creating a supportive work environment, which can lead to instability and reduced productivity. In such circumstances, organizational culture becomes a fundamental element that can either contribute to success or represent an obstacle to development. The theoretical part of the thesis presents various models of organizational culture and the factors that influence its emergence, formation, and change. It also analyses the effects of strong and weak cultures, as well as the specific characteristics of culture in small businesses compared to larger organizations. Emphasis is placed on the role of leadership and employees in shaping shared values, norms, and behavioral patterns, as well as on the importance of aligning culture with the company’s strategic goals. The empirical part is based on a study conducted in four Slovenian small businesses, where a survey questionnaire was used to analyse the impact of organizational culture on satisfaction, motivation, commitment, engagement, productivity, and the quality of interpersonal relationships. The results show that a stronger and more clearly developed organizational culture positively affects employee motivation, engagement, and commitment, while also contributing to better relationship quality and greater work efficiency. Conversely, weak culture often leads to dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, and lower productivity. Based on the findings, concrete proposals are formulated for improving organizational culture in small businesses, such as strengthening communication, encouraging collaboration, developing leadership competencies, and creating a more supportive work environment. Thus, the thesis offers practical guidelines that small businesses can use as a foundation for systematically building and reinforcing organizational culture, thereby contributing to long-term success and business stability
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
