Poduzetnički inkubatori jedan su od oblika potpornih institucija razvoja poduzetništva, pri čemu je njihova osnovna svrha poticanje poduzetničkoga okružja i osiguravanje preduvjeta razvoja ...poduzetnika na određenome području pružanjem raznih usluga. Poduzetnički inkubatori osnivaju se radi dinamiziranja lokalnog i regionalnog ekonomskog razvoja jer su im ciljna skupina poduzeća iz područja njihove županije ili grada. Svrha je ovog rada istražiti ulogu poduzetničkih inkubatora u pružanju potpore malim i srednjim poduzećima u Hrvatskoj. U radu se žele prikazati neke od osnovnih karakteristika poduzetničkih inkubatora, njihove odrednice i prakse poslovanja te istražiti i analizira ti ponuda usluga koje inkubatori pružaju svojim stanarima. Također, u radu se nastoje ustanoviti osnovni ciljevi poslovanja, izvori financiranja te analizirati uspješnost inkubatora. Empirijski podaci prikupljeni su anketnim upitnikom na uzorku od 34 poduzetnička inkubatora, pri čemu je metoda deskriptivne statističke analize korištena radi pružanja potanka opisa trenutačnog stanja, karakteristika te poslovanja poduzetničkih inkubatora u Hrvatskoj.
Business incubators represent one of the forms of support institutions for the development of entrepreneurship whose main purpose is to provide encouragement
for the development of the overall business environment and provide the necessary
prerequisites for the development of entrepreneurs in a particular area through
the provision of consulting services, business space, information and other services. Business incubators are established with the aim of dynamising local and
regional economic development, since the target group of incubators are companies from the area of their county or city, which meet the criteria for being accommodated in the incubator. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role
of business incubators in providing support to the small and medium-sized enterprises in the Republic of Croatia. The paper aims to present some of the basic
characteristics of business incubators, their determinants and business practices,
and to explore and analyse the range of services that incubators provide to their
tenants. Also, the paper seeks to explore the basic business objectives, sources
of financing, and to analyse the incubators’ performance. Empirical data were collected through a survey questionnaire on a sample of 34 business incubators.
The method of descriptive statistical analysis was used as the analytical method
because the primary goal of this paper is to provide a detailed description of the
current state, characteristics and operations of business incubators in the Republic of Croatia, and not to determine mutual dependencies or causalities between
the observed variables.
Prispevek prikazuje nekatere elemente razvoja obmejnih območij Slovenije predvsem z vidika učinkov pred pristopne pomoči programa Phare čezmejnega sodelovanja (v nadaljevanju Phare CBC). Regionalni ...razvoj obmejnih območij Slovenije je v vsej svoji dosedanji zgodovini tesno povezan z geopolitičnim položajem in funkcijo obmejnih območij. Republika Slovenija je od leta 1992 prejemala pomoč Evropske unije iz programa Phare. Po letu 1994 je bila vključena tudi v posebni predpristopni program EU Phare CBC.
Transport accessibility to jobs, education, supply, and public services, which are usually most concentrated in large regional centers, has an impact on lower economic costs (savings in time and ...energy consumption), greater social justice (better and more equal access to jobs and education), and lower pressures on the environment (reduction of harmful emissions and noise, and increased road safety). Transport accessibility as a spatial component affects the widest range of development opportunities in an area, and it should therefore represent a significant component of regional and spatial planning. This book presents the main features of transport accessibility to regional centers as the central pillars of regional and spatial structure in Slovenia. Attention is focused on addressing the situation in accessibility planning itself, followed by modeling geographic reality using spatial analyses in a geographic information system. Emphasis is placed on the state of spatial equilibrium of regional centers. This study also examines the spatial differences in their accessibility, the main reasons for these differences, and the correspondence between regional borders in various regionalization proposals for Slovenia and their centers’ borders of accessibility.
Upravljanje resursima nekog prostora predstavlja jedno od najvećih izazova
današnjice, poglavito u slučaju osjetljivijih područja poput ruralnih prostora. Ljudski
resurs, uz prirodne resurse koji su ...mahom ograničeni, predstavlja mogućnost za ruralni
prostor pogotovo s početkom iskorištavanja znatnih sredstava pretpristupnih fondova
EU. U radu je prikazan dio rezultata primarnog istraživanja stavova provoditelja
projekata i krajnjih korisnika o utjecaju ostvarenih rezultata programa IPA CBC
Mađarska-Hrvatska 2007. – 2013. na ljudski resurs institucija provoditelja i lokalnih
zajednica promatranoga prostora koji je većinom ruralnoga karaktera. Zaključak
istraživanja jest kako su uložena sredstva na promatranom području imala dvojaku
ulogu. U slučaju organizacija provoditelja projekata, one ne bi imale ovaj obujam
posla i broj zaposlenih niti bi uspostavile partnerstva s organizacijama iz druge države,
provodile aktivnosti ili razvijale vještine, znanje i sposobnosti svojih ljudskih resursa.
Također, provedba njihovog projekta povećala je broj kontakata i suradnji s
organizacijama na lokalnoj razini što je značajan resurs za budućnost. Nadalje,
sredstva su omogućila korisnicima, stanovnicima lokalnih zajednica duž granice,
stjecanje novih vještina, povećanje znanja i sposobnosti koje mogu koristiti za daljnji
razvoj, shvaćanje važnosti cjeloživotnog učenja i povećanje uključenosti u lokalnu
zajednicu. Zaključno, provedba projekata i ulaganje u ruralna područja predstavljaju
investiciju u budućnost zbog raznolikosti procesa koje mogu aktivirati.
The book offers multi-layered responses to the scope and causes of spatial, as well as social, economic and physiognomic changes in the cultural landscape in Slovenian countryside. It presents the ...results of an interdisciplinary research approach to recognising spatial change and trends within a two-year research project entitled “The Transformation of the Landscape by Agricultural Modernisation and Changes in Settlement Patterns”, which was financed by the Slovenian Research Agency and the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning of the Republic of Slovenia within the target research programme Slovenian Competitiveness 2006–2013. Similar research was carried out in three pilot areas, selected because they captured a cross section of typical Slovenian landscape macro-units (Mediterranean, Dinaric, Alpine and Pannonian), while also covering the processes of intensification and marginalisation.
Global scientific literature widely deals with analysis of regional innovative systems and their contribution to economic growth. Modern theories and empirical researches indicate strong correlation ...between the technical progress, creative human resources, toleration and capital investments. New investments are basic but not sufficient condition for balancing the developmental stimulation. Capital, linked with investment activities, natural (material) resources and human resources (work, knowledge, information) are main driving forces of the economic progress. New forms of investments today are strongly connected with population educational structure and knowledge, therefore investments do not occur everywhere, simultaneously and equally.
This book (‘Slovenia’s development challenges’) deals with fundamental issues of Slovenia’s development. It explains the main issues in Slovenia’s Development Strategy, and evaluates its bases and ...the direct effects of individual development measures. Each in their own way, the authors discuss pressing developmental issues at the level of the state, regions, municipalities, or individual sectors, seeking possible answers, new stimulation, potentials, and opportunities. The basic premise was that the main task is to seek solutions for an economically successful, socially just, environmentally friendly, and ethically responsible society, and that all development efforts must focus on these goals. Although it was adopted only three years ago, in line with the premises described above and the changed macroeconomic conditions, Slovenia’s Development Strategy requires amendments to turn Slovenia’s development path in a sustainably more acceptable direction. One should not be guided only by a desire for quantity~instead, one should strive for higher-quality development that is fair to every citizen as well as the environment.
The publication “Monitoring and Evaluation of Regional Policy in Slovenia” was prepared on the basis of the Assessment of Instruments and Mechanisms of Regional Policy project intended for designing ...the systems for the mid-term and final evaluation of Slovenia’s regional policy. The project has prepared the basis for monitoring and evaluating the regional policy: we treated the monitoring of the regional policy as an important element in the overall development process because it enables constant supervision of the implementation of the policy and the evaluation of the regional policy as a constant interactive process that enables deliberate planning of activities and their adaptation to changing conditions. We focused on the characteristics of monitoring and evaluation in Slovenia’s regional policy and prepared evaluation models that Slovenia’s regional policy should follow in the future. Designing the models we drew from the existing Slovenian and European formal-legal frameworks for establishing monitoring and evaluation system in the 2007–2013 financial perspective.
U radu se raspravlja o promjenama u regionalnom razvoju Like nakon izgradnje autoceste Zagreb–Split 2004. godine. Autocesta je bolje integrirala Liku u prometni sustav Hrvatske, utjecala na nove ...unutarregionalne odnose te stvorila uvjete za veću zaposlenost, otvaranje poduzetničkih zona te brži razvoj turizma, male privrede i poljoprivrede. Novom prometnicom aktualizirano je pitanje daljnjeg razvoja toga prostora i njegova položaja u regionalnoj strukturi Hrvatske.
