There is no precedent to the current economic crisis which looks set to redefine social policy debate throughout the globe. But its effects are not uniform across nations. Bringing together a range ...of expert contributions, the key lesson to emerge from this book is that 'the crisis' is better understood as a variety of crises, each mediated by national context. Consequently, there is an array of potential trajectories for welfare systems, from those where social policy is regarded as incompatible with the post-crisis economy to those where it is considered essential to future economic growth and security.
Namen prispevka je pokazati dvoje. Prvič, da spolna neenakost ni nadzgodo- vinski pojav, ki se manifestira na bolj ali manj homogen način v vseh družbah ali vsaj vseh razrednih družbah, temveč ...da je pogojena s specifično obliko družbenih produk- cijskih odnosov, ki zamejujejo te družbe. Drugič, da je vprašanje spolne neenakosti, ki je samo po sebi nezvedljivo, vseeno temeljno prepleteno z razrednim vprašanjem. Teoretska podstat prispevka je marksovska kritika politične ekonomije, za empirični prikaz naše hipoteze pa se opiramo na zgodovinske vire in analizo statističnih podatkov.
Mjere koje se u Srbiji provode kao odgovor na krizu ne podrazumijevaju preispitivanje sustava u cjelini, već se donose kao odraz nužnosti na rashodnoj strani. Pojedine mjere obrazlažu se različitim ...načelima pa postaje uočljivo da nije jasno definiran model kome se teži. Pod pritiskom krize postaje posebno vidljivo da se javni mirovinski sustav sve više pomjera u pravcu koji će omogućavati samo smanjenje siromaštva u starosti i to u apsolutnom smislu, a ne i održanje standarda nakon umirovljenja. Ovakvo opredjeljenje, ukoliko bi se prihvatilo i na duži rok zadržalo, zahtijeva i određeno redizajniranje postojećeg sustava, kako ne bi došlo do urušavanja njegove unutrašnje logike. Nejasno je, međutim, nastaje li ova suštinska konceptualna promjena kao rezultat strateške i utemeljene odluke ili slučajno. Naposljetku, sve veće oslanjanje na budžetsko financiranje pokreće i pitanje opravdanosti osiguravanja mirovina samo za stare koji su uplaćivali mirovinsko osiguranje i potrebu da se sustav preispita i s tog aspekta.

In the historical circumstances of the post-Yugoslav era, class solidarity was regarded as the dominant ideological characteristic of the abandoned self-management socialism. Therefore, ...transition-related discursive practices which excluded the notion of the worker were common on all levels. This ranged from the Croatian 1990s newspeak which introduced the more neoliberal term djelatnik “employe” into the lexicon, to disempowering the worker within the newly-introduced value system dominated by entrepreneurs as the epitome and the driving force of the new society. In this way, workers were first transformed from self-managers and producers into ideological Others, and then into actual “former workers”, relocated from being the vital segment of the creative present and representing utopian projections of progress into a retired past. Given all this, it is significant to note that the worker is once again being used in book titles and as a literary character in contemporary literature – in 2014, the return of the worker is notable in Goran Ferčec’s play Radnice u gladovanju (Female Workers on Hunger Strike, 2014), and in Viktor Ivančić’s prose stories Radnici i seljaci (Workers and Peasants, 2014). Literary representations of workers in these texts are contextualized within a framework of a new utopian desire and in revolt against the monstrously inverted logic of corporate capitalism which transforms humanity into a serious deviation. Special attention is given to the representation of the space of rebellion taking into consideration the notion of heterotopia: a nursing home, a prison or a hospital are counter-places where the transition-related reality played its cruel game with the “former” worker and the destroyed potentials that it created in his/her projections of the future.
The union of the most developed European countries and their heavy industry based economies after the World War II, seemed like the only answer to USA’s and Japan’s powerful economies. At the same ...time, it was the only chance for Europe to become competitive in the global market. That was achieved through various forms of economic communities, formed in Europe in the second half of XX century. Since the 1992. Maastricht Treaty, they are known as the European Union. European Union industrial policy had the same priorities since the very beginning – to make Europe the leader of global economy, through investments in knowledge and high-tech inovation. However, that still hasn’t happened and considering all the economical and political crisis shaking the Union lately, chances are it can hardly happen at all. Reasons are numerous and different, both inside and outside the Union. The implicit question being posed here is have the most developed world countries and their economies reached their peak and can the EU achieve further growth on the supersaturated global market? This paper investigates the role of industrial policy as one of the key factors for solution to many problems in the past as well as in the future of the EU, which would make this economic and political community of European countries much more competitive on the global market.
Práce analyzuje některé aspekty období, které nazýváme většinou krizí let 2008 až 2010 z pohledu podnikové ekonomiky a dopadů celkové ekonomické deprese na české firmy. Na konkrétním případu ...relativně malé společnosti z oblasti strojírenství pak zkoumá některá jednotlivá manažerská rozhodnutí, která vedla k tomu, že právě tato společnost vyšla z krize s daleko větší dynamikou produkce, než s jakou do ní vcházela. Srovnáním s makroekonomickými daty známými k únoru roku 2011 pak práce shrnuje některá strategická rozhodnutí podniků, která v době krize mohla zásadním způsobem napomoci restrukturalizaci firem. V závěrečné části práce jsou pak navrženy některé konkrétní směry aplikovaného výzkumu pro rok 2011 a roky následující, které by mohly přinést hlubší znalost mechanismů rozhodovacích procesů v českém prostředí vedoucích pracovníků výrobních podniků.

This paper presents some results of research carried out in 2011. The research was focused on the relationship of small organizations to crisis prevention. The purpose is to find out the attitude of ...small organizations to crises from strategic point of view in order to ensure not only their survival but also their competiveness. The goal is to identify what strategies, if any, small organizations use for crises prevention.
The factor analysis identified two crisis prevention strategies. One strategy is focused on creating and updating a crisis plan and crisis team. The other is based on appropriate behaviour to employees and surroundings so that the organization builds up their loyalty. Preparation for crises is mostly complicated by the financing gap which could be expected in small organizations and managers also declared they were too busy to deal with crisis prevention. Based on the statistically processed data obtained from empirical research the author came to the conclusion that, although many small organizations know their weaknesses and external threats and try to take precautionary measures, the preparation for a potential crisis has still not become a normal part of managerial work and it is not appreciated as a feature of competitiveness. Statistical tools of correlation analysis and factor analysis were used in the research.
Aktualnost istraživanja područja kriznog menadžmenta posebno je izražena zadnjih 20 godina u kojima se, između ostaloga, dogodila svjetska ekonomska kriza, a zatim i trenutačna gospodarska kriza ...uzrokovana proglašenjem globalne pandemije zbog pojave bolesti COVID-19. Nadalje, tržište je postalo globalno, poslovanje digitaliziranije, razvija se umjetna inteligencija, robotiziraju se procesi, itd. Može se zaključiti da su suvremeni uvjeti poslovanja kompleksni i dinamični s čime su i razlozi za potencijalni nastanak krize u poduzeću sve brojniji. Menadžeri u praksi često reagiraju na simptome krize koji se u pokazateljima boniteta i bilančnim pokazateljima u literaturi opisuju kao rani simptomi. Autori smatraju da takav način upravljanja krizom nije učinkovit jer se navedeni pokazatelji mogu definirati kao mjera razine krize u poduzeću, a ne kao rani simptomi krize. Adekvatan način prevencije krize prepoznavanje je ranih simptoma krize putem upravljanja poslovnim procesima. U literaturi je dokazano da je najveći broj kriza prouzročen unutrašnjim čimbenicima, a upravljanjem poslovnim procesima se te neusklađenosti rješavaju. Cilj rada je raspraviti i problematizirati trenutak prepoznavanja potencijalne krize u poduzeću, evidenciju iste, reakcije menadžera kao i ukazati na potencijalne mogućnosti i načine prevencije krize koje se posebno ogledaju u upravljanju poslovnim procesima. U radu se nakon uvoda objašnjavaju pojam i uzroci krize, rani simptomi krize kao I krizni menadžment i upravljanje poslovnim procesima. Na kraju rada je zaključak.
