Kao i svi ostali gospodarski subjekti, i poduzeća morskog brodarstva mogu dospjeti u specifično stanje u kojemu se usporava i ograničava kontinuitet razvoja, a što je poznato kao kriza u poslovanju ...poduzeća. Poduzeća u svom razvitku prolaze kroz različite faze. Pri tome je svaki prelazak iz jedne u drugu fazu kritičan jer u tom razdoblju nastupa prijelomni trenutak u životu svakog poduzeća. Upravo u takvu prijelaznom vremenu generiraju se rizici krize u poslovanju poduzeća morskog brodarstva. Tad se očituju različiti problemi u poslovanju, kao što su, prije svega, opadanje prihoda i slabljenje likvidnosti. Općenito se može reći da do kriza dolazi zbog vrlo različitih pozicija poduzeća i njegovih promjena u odnosu prema tržištu, ali i promjena tržišta u odnosu prema poduzeću. Takve promjene zahtijevaju pripremljenost menadžmenta, tj. poslovodstva poduzeća i njegov djelotvoran odgovor. Kriza je to veća što je viša razina nepripremljenosti potencijala za promjene. Rizici krize u poslovanju poduzeća povezani su redovito s krizom u rukovođenju poduzećem i nalaze se najčešće u području organizacije poduzeća. Ako poslovodstvo u ranoj fazi propusti djelovati korektivno, problemi će se kumulirati i kriza u poslovanju će se produbljivati. Dakle, uzroci krize u poslovanju poduzeća uglavnom se očituju u području organizacije i proistječu iz pogrešnih odluka poslovodstva i načina rukovođenja.
Notranjerevizijska dejavnost je dejavnost sodobnega časa. V Sloveniji v obdobju zadnjih desetih let zaznavamo izredno hiter razvoj in uveljavitev notranjega nadzora javnih financ na področju ...organizacij javnega zdravstva. Za proračunske uporabnike je notranjerevizijska dejavnost tudi predpisana z zakonom. Kot taka postaja v zadnjem času vse bolj vpeta tudi v poslovanje javnih zdravstvenih zavodov. Njeno delovanje označuje preizkušanje in ocenjevanje zadovoljivosti delovanja sistema notranjih kontrol in svetovanje pri njegovem izboljševanju zato, da bi zagotovili učinkovito in uspešno obvladovanje poslovnih tveganj bolnišnice. Poslovno tveganje razumemo kot vsak neugoden dogodek, ki vpliva na učinkovito in uspešno doseganje zastavljenih ciljev javnega zdravstvenega zavoda. Za obvladovanje tveganj je sicer odgovorno poslovodstvo, notranja revizija pa mu pri tem nudi ustrezno podporo. Svoje poslanstvo lahko notranja revizija izpolni uspešno le pod pogojem, da ima poslovodstvo ustrezno védenje in znanje o notranji reviziji.
An Internal Audit is the activity of modern times. Very rapid development and implementation of Public Internal Financial Control (PIFC) in the field of Public Health has been seen in Slovenia over the past ten years. For budget users, internal auditing is also required by law. Lately it is therefore becoming a very important part of business in public health institutions. The operations of an Internal Audit is characterised by the testing and evaluation of performance of the Internal Control System and consultation for enhancing performance with the purpose of providing efficient and successful business risk management of hospitals. Business risk is understood as any unpleasant event that intrudes on the effective and successful process of achieving the set business objectives of a health institution. While responsibility for Risk management lies with the management, internal Auditing can offer appropriate support. An Internal Audit can successfully complete its mission only if management has the appropriate knowledge and skills of internal auditing.
Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Etičko ponašanje postaje faktor strategijskih prednosti i uspješnog poslovanja a najviše poslovodstvo u procesu strateškog ...menadžmenta postaje odgovorno za stvaranje pretpostavki za primjenu i provođenje visokih etičkih principa u poduzeće. Od najvišeg poslovodstva u hotelijerstvu se očekuje veća etička svijest u odnosu na druge djelatnosti, kao i jača sposobnost da sude o etičkim pitanjima s obzirom da hotelska industrija obuhvaća veliki spektar uvjerenja i etički prihvatljivog ponašanja. Zbog toga je naglašena i povećana potreba hotelskih poduzeća da implementiraju poslovnu etiku na odgovorniji način u funkciji stvaranja pozitivne etičke kulture i klime te generiranja povećane dobiti kroz produktivnost i moral zaposlenih. Etičko ponašanje najvišega poslovodstva pritom je pod utjecajem različitih osobnih vrijednosti pojedinaca koje čine sastavni dio njihova kulturološkoga sklopa no uloga koju sustavi osobnih vrijednosti imaju za etičko/neetičko ponašanje kao i veza između etičkoga ponašanja najvišega poslovodstva i poslovanja velikih hotelskih poduzeća, manje je jasna, što u kontekstu navedene problematike predstavlja problem istraživanja ove doktorske disertacije.
U svrhu ispitivanja međuzavisnosti osobnih vrijednosti i etičkoga ponašanja najvišeg poslovodstva sa poslovanjem velikih hotelskih poduzeća u Republici Hrvatskoj (RH) provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje putem anketnog upitnika, a čiji je cilj istraživanja bio procijeniti važnost terminalnih i instrumentalnih vrijednosti najvišeg poslovodstva, spoznati koje vrijednosti pokreću i usmjeravaju najviše poslovodstvo na etičko/neetičko ponašanje te utvrditi u kakvoj su korelaciji osobne vrijednosti i etičko ponašanje najvišeg poslovodstva sa pokazateljima uspješnosti velikih hotelskih poduzeća u RH.
Dobiveni rezultati potvrđuju da postoji pozitivna veza između osobnih sustava vrijednosti s etičkim ponašanjem najvišeg poslovodstva te etičkoga ponašanja najvišeg poslovodstva i pokazatelja uspješnosti poslovanja. Sukladno provedenom istraživanju dobiveni rezultati su potvrdili znanstvenu hipotezu doktorske disertacije: „Osobe, u najvišem poslovodstvu velikih hotelskih poduzeća u RH, koje odabiru etički tijek ponašanja dugoročno postižu bolje poslovne rezultate od onih osoba u najvišem poslovodstvu koje odabiru neetički tijek ponašanja.“ Slaba ili srednje jaka korelacija u istraživanju između promatranih varijabli (osobne vrijednosti – etičko ponašanje; etičko ponašanje – pokazatelji uspješnosti poslovanja) pokazuje međutim da na stupanj etičkog ponašanja utječu i drugi faktori, dakle ne isključivo osobni sustavi vrijednosti, te da na uspješnost poslovanja također utječu i drugi faktori, a ne isključivo etičko ponašanje. Za buduća istraživanja bilo bi stoga značajno istražiti koji su to još drugi faktori koji utječu na etičko ponašanje i uspješnost poslovanja.
Na temelju svih znanstvenih spoznaja, autorica predlaže model implementacije poslovne etike u velika hotelska poduzeća u RH.
Ova doktorska disertacija pridonosi postojećoj literaturi o interferentnosti strateškog menadžmenta sa poslovnom etikom. Znanstveni doprinos istraživanja u teorijskom i u praktično – aplikativnom smislu pruža valjanu i pouzdanu osnovu za kreiranje vlastitih moralnih sustava i moćnih alata najvišeg poslovodstva u procesu strateškog menadžmenta kojima će pružiti osnovni okvir za dozvoljeno i nedozvoljeno ponašanje u funkciji poboljšanja uspješnosti poslovanja.- Ethical behaviour is becoming a factor of strategic advantage and business success, and top management is assuming responsibility for enabling the implementation of high ethical principles in their organisations. As the hospitality industry encompasses a wide spectrum of views and ethically acceptable behaviours, hotel top management is now expected to show a higher degree of ethics awareness, as well as better judgement on ethical issues. This leads to a more pronounced need for hotel organisations to implement business ethics in a more responsible way in order to create a positive culture of ethics and an ethical climate, as well as generate increased profits through employee productivity and morale. Top management's ethical behaviour is influenced by varied personal values that are an intrinsic part of an individual's cultural makeup, but the role that personal value systems have in ethical/unethical behaviours, as well as the relationship between top management's ethical behaviour and large hotel organisations' business success, are less clear, and comprise the topic of this doctoral thesis.
In order to examine the relationship between personal values and ethical behaviour of top management, and large Croatian hotel organisations' business success, questionnaire-based empirical research was carried out, with the aim of assessing the importance of top management’s terminal and instrumental values, learning which values impel and direct top management towards ethical/non-ethical behaviours, as well as determine what correlation there is between top management's personal values and ethical behaviour, and business success indicators, at large Croatian hotel organisations.
The results of the research confirm a positive correlation between top management’s personal value systems and ethical behaviours on one hand, and top management’s ethical behaviour and business success indicators on the other. These results have confirmed the scientific hypothesis of the doctoral dissertation, stating that: “Members of large Croatian hotel organisations' top level management who choose ethical behaviours achieve better business results in the long term than those who choose unethical behaviours.“ However, the weak or medium-strong correlation between the variables compared (personal values – ethical behaviours; ethical behaviours – business success indicators) shows that the degree of ethical behaviour is also affected by factors other than personal value systems, and that business success is also affected by factors other than ethical behaviour. Future research should therefore examine which other factors affect ethical behaviour and business success.
On the basis of the scientific insights available, the author proposes a model of implementing business ethics in large Croatian businesses.
This doctoral dissertation contributes to the existing literature on the intersection between strategic management and business ethics. The scientific contribution of the research, in both theoretical and practical application terms, offers a sound and reliable basis for top management to create ethical values and powerful tools in the process of strategic management, in order to construct a basic framework for defining acceptable and unacceptable behaviours with a view to enhancing business success.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
