This results in the increasing implementation of business intelligence (BI) applications to enhance information exploitation as strategic and operational competitive advantages. To estimate the degree of maturity in supply chains as well as for BI solutions, maturity models are used. There exist numerous specific maturity models for supply chains, also in strong interrelationship with investigations on evolution stages of supply chains. Furthermore, certain BI maturity models are covering different perspectives to assess the degree of BI utilization in companies. The aim of this paper is two-folded. First, maturity dimensions should be isolated and extracted from given models. Second, a joint maturity approach by merging key dimensions of supply chain and BI maturity for BI-driven supply chains will be developed. In this context, BI-driven supply chains are a summarizing ...

U radu se istražuje na koji nacinsu oblikovani kurikulumi ekonomskih studija na pet ekonomskih fakulteta u RH. Uocena je, barem prema broju kolegija, ali ne i nužno prema broju slusaca, dominacija derivata metodolosko-modelskih i tehnoloskih disciplina cije se posljedice razmatraju u kontekstu odnosa s jezgrenimi temeljnim predmetima ekonomije kao znanstvene i obrazovne discipline. Dominacija modelsko-tehnoloskih disciplina rezultat je (sub)specijalizacije i fragmentacije ekonomskih znanja. Rezultat toga su neizbalansirani odnosi sadržaja i njihove realizacije ili odnosa "sto" i "kako"Kurikularni sadržaji , proizvodi ili procesi moraju se mijenjati i nadopunjavati u kontekstu novih filozofsko-metodoloskih spoznaja, novih drustveno-ekonomskih odnosa, tehnoloskih okruženja i zahtjeva buducih tržista rada i sukladno nacelima, ciljevima i zahtjevima koji se definiraju u kvalifikacijskim okvirima i drugimdokumentima kojima se uređuju pitanja obrazovanja

Distinctive Features of Retail Supply Chain Management - Transportation Perspective

In supply chain collaboration, usually one member has the greatest power in the supply chain. The power of each member of the supply chain can be changed over time, but in the last fifteen years retailers have the highest power in most supply chains. Due to these developments the increasing numbers of authors are talking about the retail supply chain management (RSCM). The paper presents the basic assumptions of a retail supply chain management, and special attention is given to improvements in transportation in the context of supply chain management, which are initiated by the retailers. The importance of exploiting the advantages of a retail supply chain management is particularly evident in the case of less developed countries, where firms at different levels of the supply ch...

Wirtschaftler nutzen diesen Begriff sehr gern, obwohl ihn nur auf den Waren-und Dienstleistungsaustausch degradieren und ihm den Begriff unterstellen. Hierbei unterstreichen sie immer wieder, dass der Wesen des Prozesses in der langwierigen, aber diesmal doch beschleunigten allgemeinen Gesellschafts-effektivitaet liegt.

E-logistics is becoming increasingly important, because in addition to businesses run solely through online store, many enterprises complement their stationary store with the online shop as a new sales channel. Concepts of e-logistics allow new competitors from countries that joined the European Union easier access to so far less accessible markets, while at the same time pressure on their domicile markets is growing and their trade and logistics companies are becoming vulnerable. Incorporating in the supply chains would positively affect companies from these countries by mitigating the contradiction of economies of scale and the economies of scope.

The modernity is primarily determined by I.C.T. so that the society is often called information society and culture the culture of the information age. Under such circumstances, one can hardly find a living space and activity which are not affected by I.C.T. In this paper, the authors analyze the intensity of the presence of I.C.T. in the rural area and in agricultural activities in Slavonia and Baranja. It is well known that in sociology a “peasant” means a way of life, culture of a certain region and time. Most frequently, this notion used to be determined by an attribute of autarchy and a firm existential orientation to nature. Today, the “peasant” has lost its original meaning. His space is more often determined by a “family farm” and his relation with nature is significantly characterized by technology. To what extent is technology nowadays - in p...

There are several different approaches and each has its advantages and disadvan¬tages. The paper analyzes four approaches for the development of general manage¬ment curriculum innovation. We analyzed few curriculum of American, European, Australian and Croatian studies in general management on bachelor and graduate (master) level. Study of general management at the undergraduate level of Ameri¬can, Australian and some European universities differ significantly from the Croa¬tian Schools in number as well as in the methodological, core and major courses. At higher levels of education (graduate and master) the differences are even more obvious. Based on the performed analysis we tried to estimate the balance of the curriculum in terms of key aspects of the curriculum: the role of managers, the ap¬plication of pedagogy, the methodol...
