    Supply chain management represents new business philosophy and includes strategically positioned and much wider scope of activity in comparison with its "older brother" - management of logistics. Philosophy of the concept of supply chain is directed to more coordination of key business functions of every link in distribution chain in the process of organization of the flow of both goods and information, while logistic managing instruments are focused on internal optimum of flows of goods and information within one company. Applying the concept of integrated supply chain among several companies makes the importance of operative logistics activity even greater on the level of one company, thus advancing processes of optimum and coordination within and between different companies and confirms the importance of logistics performances for the company’s profitability. Besides the fact that the borders between companies are being deleted, this concept of supply chain in one distribution channel influences increasing of importance of functional, i.e. traditional business managing approaches but instead it points out the importance of process managing approaches. Although the author is aware that "there is nothing harder, more dangerous and with uncertain success, but to find a way for introducing some novelties (Machiavelli), it would be even his additional stimulation for trying to bring closer the concept and goals of supply chain implementation that are identified in key, relevant, modern, theoretical and consulting approaches in order to achieve better understanding of the subject and faster implementation of the concept of supply chain management by domestic companies

    No full text
    The author firstly deals with the genesis and evolution of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe comparing the basic characteristics of OSCE with those of the previous CSCE. Then follows an analytical survey of the CSCE/OSCE activities in the 1990s, which are grouped into the following three fields: institutional build-up of the Organization, normative and programmatic activity as well as the operational and implementation activity. The author makes an analysis of the Charter for European Security adopted at 1999 OSCE Istanbul summit. The final part projects what further development and role of OSCE is likely to be in the field of security and co-operation in the Euro-Atlantic region, pointing out that in the foreseeable period OSCE will probably mainly retain its present role, significance and the structure of activities, unless some unexpected events occur in the sphere of international affairs.
