Estimating Equilibrium Real Exchange Rates in the Franc Zone
Get PDFThis paper estimates the degree of real exchange rate misalignment in 12 CFA (Communauté Financière Africaine) franc zone countries over the period 1960--99. Allowing for contemporaneous error co-variances, due to observed cross-sectional dependence, we use seemingly unrelated regressions equation estimations to estimate the equilibrium real effective exchange rate and degree of misalignment in each country. We find significant differences across member-states, however, the largest economies--Cameroon, C�te d'Ivoire and Senegal--showed some striking similarities. Just prior to the 1994 devaluation, these three economies were much more overvalued compared with the smaller member-states, some of which were either marginally misaligned or virtually in equilibrium. In 1994, only C�te d'Ivoire is exactly in equilibrium as a result of the devaluation. Our analysis of misalignment for the period after 1994 suggests that some challenges lie ahead for the CFA franc zone, if fixed parity is to be maintained. Copyright 2008 The author 2008.

THE TREND OF LOGISTICS OUTSOURCING (3PL) IN SLOVENIAN ORGANIZATIONS
No full textThe purpose of this research study is to determine the current situation in logistics outsourcing in Slovenian organizations and to determine the trend of future development. The data was collected using a questionnaire with 500 largest organizations. The data was analyzed using frequency statistics and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The most important finding was that the level of logistics outsourcing will grow in Slovenia. The growth will be higher in: (a) production organizations compared to service ones, (b) large organizations compared to medium-sized organizations and (c) domestic owned organizations compared to foreign owned organizations. The results are similar with global trends. Logistics outsourcing is important for management, namely because of improved effectiveness and efficiency. The results of the study also are important for management of logistic suppliers to better prepare them for future demands

Z raziskavo analiziramo vlogo zunanjega izvajanja v slovenskih organizacijah. Z anketo pridobljene podatke interpretiramo z opisno statistiko, frekvenčno statistiko in Wilcoxonovim testom za parne vzorce. Z rezultati statistične analize z 95 % verjetnostjo napovemo, da se bo stopnja zunanjega izvajanja poslovnih procesov v slovenskih organizacijah povečala in da to velja za večino poslovnih procesov. Tako lahko zaključimo, da slovenske organizacije sledijo trendom na globalnih trgih in se le-tem tudi prilagajajo

Innovation Management and an Innovative Ideas System
No full textInnovation Management and an Innovative Ideas System
Innovation management is one of the most important tasks for managers in order to make their organizations successful and efficient. A part of this ranges from innovative employee ideas for small everyday improvements up to innovations that bring enormous savings. The survey tries to determine which factors influence the number of innovative ideas and to propose methods for improvements in this area. The basic research method used was a questionnaire, which helped us gather data and the basic method used for data processing was statistical analysis. First, we established that there is a progressive correlation between the number of innovative ideas submitted in the past and the number of anticipated innovative ideas in the future. Second, we established that the following three factors have an impact on innovation and creativity: (1) work and education; (2) working and living conditions; and (3) rewards and payment. Finally, we have established that there is a correlation between satisfaction with the rewards and payment factor and the current life-cycle stage of organization. To summarize, the level of innovation and creativity of employees is influenced by their overall satisfaction in an organization.</jats:p
Analysis of Increased Information Technology Outsourcing Factors
No full textThe study explores the field of IT outsourcing. The narrow field of research is to build a model of IT outsourcing based on influential factors. The purpose of this research is to determine the influential factors on IT outsourcing expansion. A survey was conducted with 141 large-sized Slovenian companies. Data were statistically analyzed using binary logistic regression. The final model contains five factors: (1) management’s support; (2) knowledge on IT outsourcing; (3) improvement of efficiency and effectiveness; (4) quality improvement of IT services; and (5) innovation improvement of IT. Managers immediately can use the results of this research in their decision-making. Increased performance of each individual organization is to the benefit of the entire society.

Cilj raziskave je ugotoviti od česa je odvisno predlagano število koristnih predlogov in podati predloge za izboljšanje stanja na tem področju. Osnovna uporabljena raziskovalna metoda je anketa – s katero smo zbrali podatke –, osnovno orodje za obdelavo le-teh pa statistična analiza. Prva ugotovitev je, da obstaja progresivna korelacija med številom predlaganih koristnih predlogov v preteklosti in pričakovanim številom le-teh v prihodnosti. Druga ugotovitev je, da na inovativnost in kreativnost vplivajo trije dejavniki: (1) delo in izobraževanje(2) pogoji za delo in življenje in (3) nagrade in plače. Zadnja ugotovitev je, da obstaja korelacija med zadovoljstvom z dejavnikom nagrade in plače, in fazo razvoja organizacije. Na koncu lahko zaključimo, da je stopnja inovativnosti in kreativnosti zaposlenih povezana z njihovim splošnim zadovoljstvom v organizaciji
