For that purpose it investigates three research problems: (i) measurement of newness level and adoption of tourism innovations; (ii) definition of tourism innovations taxonomy (needed for the measurement); and (iii) statistical analysis of innovations' adoption in tourism destinations (result of the measurement). The main aim of the research was to develop and validate the tool used for such measurements. The tool should help researchers and managers in tracking and benchmarking how innovative tourism firms are. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

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. The examination of IT outsourcing with the methods used is the first such research in Slovenia.

According to the testimony of scientific evidence through the use of intuition and in time limited resources, decision-making can improve the time needed to solve them, as well as improve the quality of decisions. The main purpose of the study is to identify possible correlation between level of emotional intelligence and intuitive decision-making among top and middle-level managers in Slovenian automotive industry. The study included 150 managers in Slovenian automotive industry. The data was collected by using two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was used in order to determine emotional intelligence (SSEIT questionnaire) and the second questionnaire was used to identify decision-making style (GDMS questionnaire) among researched managers. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS for Windows 17.0, which showed high correlation between level of emotional intelligence and intuitive decision-making style among top and middle-level managers in Slovenian automotive industry. 7 Rad je bio prezentovan na Međunarodnoj konferenciji o društvenom i tehnološkom razvoju STED 2013, održane 26. i 27.09.2013.godine u Banjoj Luci u organizaciji Univerziteta za poslovni inženjering i menadžment Banja Luka.
