Uresničevanje notranjega brandinga: razvoj konceptualnega modela (Internal Branding Implementation: Developing A Conceptual Model)

Abstract: Slovenian Abstract: Notranji branding je proces, ki omogoca uravnotežen pogled na blagovno znamko na ravni celotnega podjetja. Zanj je znacilno usklajevanje vrednot in vedenj zaposlenih z vrednotami in obljubami blagovne znamke. V prispevku se osredotocimo predvsem na njegovo uresnicevanje, ki zahteva povezanost razlicnih funkcij v podjetju, kot sta notranje trženje in ravnanje z ljudmi pri delu. Na podlagi ugotovitev kvalitativne raziskave predstavimo konceptualni model uresnicevanja notranjega brandinga. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da notranji branding poveca znanje zaposlenih o blagovni znamki, kar spodbudi njihovo motiviranost za sirjenje podobe blagovne znamke med porabniki. Hkrati ugotavljamo, da uresnicevanje notranjega brandinga zahteva usklajeno delovanje notranjega trženja in ravnanja z ljudmi pri delu. Pomen notranjega brandinga narasca, saj je proces usmerjen v razvoj virov, ki podjetju prinasajo konkurencne prednosti in vecjo uspesnost.English Abstract: Internal branding is the process, which enables a balanced view of the brand at all company levels. Its significance is aligning values and behaviors of employees with brand values and brand promises. In the article, we focus mainly on its implementation, which requires coordination of different functions in the company, for instance, internal marketing and human resource management. Based on the findings of a qualitative research, we present a conceptual model of internal branding implementation. Results show that internal branding increases employees’ knowledge about the brand, which motivates them to project brand image to the customers. The research also revealed that implementation of internal branding requires coordination between internal marketing and human resource management. The importance of internal branding is increasing because the process is focusing on resources that enable a company to achieve competitive advantages and higher performance.

Accounting Skills Hotel Enterprises Need Today

Abstract: The article presents a view of current happenings in the business and economic environment that are significantly influencing the knowledge requirements of modern accountants both worldwide and locally. First, we define the specific skills accountants are required to have apart from an in-depth expert knowledge of accounting. These skills have set the final boundary between accounting and bookkeeping. Later, the perspectives of certified accountants in Great Britain and Slovenia, as well as accountants working for Slovenian hotel enterprises are presented as regards the key factors influencing a change in accountants' tasks. Finally, the skills of modern accountants are presented, along with the underlying education and training system needed for gaining the title of a certified accountant.

Chance non-control and entrepreneurship

Abstract: The personality of entrepreneurs can have a large influence on entrepreneurial startups. The general locus of control, which is an element of the personality of entrepreneurs, is considered to be critical for the creation of entrepreneurial startups. Despite the generally acknowledged importance of one’s locus of control for entrepreneurial intentions and new firm startups, a research gap exists because less emphasis has been given to external locus of control, in particular chance control. Chance non-control can be defined as a person’s disbelief in chance- or luck-based outcomes. In this study, a country-moderated hypothesis about the relationship between a person’s chance non-control and his or her entrepreneurship (activities or intentions) was developed and empirically tested by using data collected through a structured questionnaire from 645 students in three countries (China, Finland and Slovenia). Regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. Based on the findings, which are partially in support of the moderated hypothesis, recommendations for research and practice are proposed. The key contribution of the study is the explanation of the role of chance non-control in entrepreneurship and the notion the relationship between chance non-control and entrepreneurship tends to be moderated depending on uncertainty avoidance.

Explaining reallocation's apparent negative contribution to growth

Abstract: We explain a puzzle from two recent meta-analyses that cover 25 countries and claim to show that inputs systematically move from higher-value to lower-value activities despite strong aggregate labor productivity growth (ALP). These papers use variants of the Baily, Hulten and Campbell (1992) decomposition of ALP to show that the reallocation covariance term is negative in all but two countries and the reallocation between term is negative in nine countries and weakly positive in most others. We decompose ALP using three micro-level data sets from Chile, Colombia, and Slovenia and show the same puzzle holds. We show that the ALP between term can be decomposed into a term related to reallocation and a term related to the change in the total number of ms, the latter of which often works to reduce the total between term in our data. We also show these ALP patterns can arise because of heterogeneity in labor and capital, unobserved output prices, or capacity utilization, but controlling for them only marginally helps to explain away the ALP reallocation puzzles in our micro-level data sets. We show that there is no puzzle when one decomposes aggregate productivity growth in the terms of National Accounts, as inputs in the aggregate move from low to high value activities in 36 of our 39 country-year observations. We conclude that there is a fundamental difference in reallocation measured by the ALP decomposition and that measured by the decomposition of National Accounts growth.
