The main emphasis of this work concentrates on determining unem-ployment caused by mismatch, in other words on the portion of the structural unemployment and on determining infl uence of regional mismatch on the entire employment. Therefore, vacancies and fl ows of unemployment and new employed are compared at a well-defi ned regional disaggregated level. The course of the research, fi rstly applies the existing theoretical models, by which the values for fi ve different regional mismatch indicators for the selec-ted group of countries are calculated. Secondly, a disaggregated empirical analysis of the matching function according to the regions in all selected countries is conducted.Modelling of matching function by region results from estimation of the transcendental logarithmic (translog) function form. The analysis proves that for the Czech Republic, Croatia and Slovakia a parallel existence of demand and supply surplus on the regional level points to the existence of mismatch in the labour market. It has also been confi rmed that an increase in the mismatch indicator in the labour market leads to a decrease in the total employment.
Temeljni cilj ovog istraživanja usmjeren je na određivanje udjela nezaposlenosti uzrokovane mismatch-om, odnosno na utvrđivanje udjela strukturne nezaposlenosti i utjecaja regionalnog mismatch-a na ukupno zapošljavanje. Stoga se uspoređuju slobodna radna mjesta i tijekovi nezaposlenih i novo zaposlenih na nivou regija. Samo istraživanje prvotno ukazuje na postojeće teorijske modele putem kojih se ujedno izračunava pet različitih regionalnih mismatch indikatora za odabranu skupinu zemalja. U nastavku se provodi dezagregirana empirijska analiza matching funkcije prema regijama za odabranu skupinu zemalja.Modeliranje matching funkcije po regijama provodi se putem translog oblika. Empi-rijskom analizom utvrđuje se paralelno postojanje viška ponude i potražnje na regionalnom nivou u Češkoj, Hrvatskoj i Slovačkoj čime se potvrđuje postojanje mismatch-a na tržištu rada. Također se potvrđuje kako porast mismatch indikatora na tržištu rada dovodi do smanjivanja ukupnog zapošljavanja.

EUROPSKA UNIJA - STANJE I PERSPEKTIVE
EUROPEAN UNION - THE SITUATION AND PERSPECTIVES

European union; demographic movements; migrations; unemployment
Otvaranje tržišta i ekonomska suradnja zemalja bitna su pretpostavka rasta BDP i zaposlenosti. Rast izaziva sektorske i regionalne nesklade za koje se moraju nalaziti rješenja intervencijama globalnih institucija i regio-nalnih integracija. Reforme globalnih institucija i regionalnih integracija u svrhu ispravljanja nesklada koje stvara tržišna nesavršenost prihvatljivije je od stvaranja parcijalnih obrambenih mehanizama i sprečavanja mobilnosti roba, usluga, kapitala, pa i ljudi. Amortizacija kratkoročnih tekućih udara rješenjima primjerenima razvitku s posebnim naglaskom na brži rast slabije razvijenih zemalja uspostavlja se i interakcija između ponude kreirane na inovacijama i potražnje izazvane rastom slabije razvijenih tržišta. Argumente za to nalazimo i u Europskoj uniji u kojoj konstantno postoji konfl ikt između tradicionalnih ekonomskih strukturnih dijelova, socijalnih grupa i dovršenih procesa s nacionalnim i sličnim obilježjima i izražene potrebe stvaranja novih vrijednosti koje nameće suvremeni razvitak. Za razliku od drugih dijelova svijeta Europa je specifi čna i po demo-grafskim kretanjima. Unija sa 455 milijuna stanovnika i bruto proizvodom od 23000 USD po stanovniku veliko je i razvijeno tržište. Kretanje i struktura stanovništva razvijenih i slabije razvijenih članica Unije, pa i potencijalnih novih članica (Bugarska, Rumunjska i Hrvatska) identično je. Migracijske motivacije ne treba tražiti u demografskim kretanjima i strukturi stanovništva slabije razvijenih članica Unije, već u razlikama u razvijenosti i problemima koji iz toga slijede (nezaposlenost i niske nadnice). Razvijanje, smanjivanje barijera i raznih oblika diskriminacije povećava mobilnost stanovništva. U Uniju se u proteklih desetak godina uselilo više od 15 milijuna ljudi, pretežno izvan europskih granica. Migracije radne snage u prostoru Unije uvjetovat će brzina pretvaranja otvorene i skrivene nezaposlenosti u proizvodnu zaposle-nost. Očekivan relativno dinamičniji rast u slabije razvijenim zemljama jačat će i pozitivna očekivanja i utjecat će na smirivanje migracijskih pritisaka. Realizacija sloboda u prostoru Unije pogoduje širenju ekonomskih sadržaja i smanjuje izravne efekte koncentracije ekonomskih aktivnosti, što se odražava i na blaže razlike u životnom standardu u odnosu na razlike u koncentraciji industrija.
Opening of markets and economic cooperation of countries makes a sound assump-tion for growth of GDP and employment. Growth causes sectoral and regional imbalances for which there should be solutions provided by interventions of multilateral institutions and regional integrations. Reforms of multilateral institutions and regional integrations have a goal of correcting imbalances caused by market imperfections. This outcome is preferred to creation of partial defense mechanisms and creation of barriers for mobility of goods, services, capital and labor. Solutions of short-run problems should be suited within appropriate development frameworks with an emphasis on development and faster growth of less developed countries. This provokes interaction between the demand created by innovations and the demand by the growth of less developed markets. Support for this argument can be found in the EU where the presence of confl ict is constant among parts of traditional economic structure, social groups and completed processes with national and similar characteristics and the need for creation of new values stipulated by the modern economic development. Europe, compared to other parts of the world, is specifi c for its demographic move-ments. The union with 455 million inhabitants and GDP of $23000 per capita is great and sizeable market. Movements in structure of populations of less developed member states and potential newcomers (Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia) are identical. In demographic movements and the structure of populations of less developed member states migration motivation should not be looked at, but rather it should be looked at development differen-ces and all the problems that follow from such a situation (unemployment and low wages). Development, lowering barriers and other shapes of discrimination increases population mobility. The infl ow of people in the EU in the last 15 years is over 15 million people, mainly from the outside of European borders. Labor migrations in the European space are conditioned upon the speed of conversion from open and shadow unemployment into productive employment. Expected, relatively dynamic growth in less developed countries will become stronger, and along positive expectations softening of migration pressures will grow stronger too. Realization of freedom within the EU space is suitable for dispersion of economic contents and diminishing direct effects of economic activity concentrations. This development refl ects on lowering differences in living standards, compared to the differences in industry concentrations

mergers; acquisitions; Croatian economy
Internacionalizacija poslovnih aktivnosti uvjet je opstanka sve većeg broja suvremenih kompanija, bez obzira na njihovu osnovnu djelatnost ili zemlju porijekla. Spomenuti trend izrazito postoji u nekim djelatnostima, kao što su: telekomunikacije, bankarstvo, farmacija itd. Jedan od najizraženijih oblika internacionalizacije u devedesetim godinama prošloga stoljeća bila su upravo spajanja i akvizicije, kojih se broj u nepunih deset godina upeterostručio. Cilj je ovoga rada, da na osnovi provedenoga anketnoga istraživanja prikaže koliko menadžeri hrvatskih poduzeća prepoznaju važnost i primjenjuju međunarodna spajanja i akvizicije u svome poslovanju. Prije toga ukratko su prikazane teoretske osnove spajanja i akvizicija i svjetski trendovi o spomenutoj problematici.
Internationalization of business activities is a precondition for the survival of modern enterprises, no matter what their core business or the countries of origin are. The mentio-ned trend has been especially present in some business like telecommunications, banking, pharmacy, etc. One of the most dominant forms of internationalization in the nineties were mergers and acquisitions, whose number multiplied by fi ve times in ten years. The aim of this paper is to show in what measure the managers of Croatian companies recognize the importance of international mergers and acquisitions and how much they use them. In the beginning of the paper theoretical background of mergers and acquisitions together with latest world's trends on this matter are also shown.

EKONOMETRIJSKO MODELIRANJE POTRAŽNJE ZA PLINOM
ECONOMETRIC MODELLING OF GAS DEMAND
Tomislav Gelo
ekonometrijska analiza; funkcija potražnje za prirodnim plinom; cijena prirodnoga plina; prosječna plaća; prosječna mjesečna tem-peratura zraka
econometric analysis; gas demand function; gas price; average salary; average month air temperature
U ovome je radu obrađeno ekonometrijsko modeliranje potražnje za plinom, odnosno mjesečna potražnja kućanstava za prirodnim plinom i defi ni-ranje funkcije ukupne i prosječne mjesečne potražnje kućanstava za prirodnim plinom. Ukupna i prosječna mjesečna potrošnja plina ovisne su varijable, a srednja mjesečna temperatura zraka, cijena prirodnoga plina za kućanstva i prosječna plaća neovisne su varijable. Energija kao i funkcija potražnje za njom veoma su važni za funkcioni-ranje cjelokupne privrede svake države, pa tako i Hrvatske. U trenutku kada važnost energije sve više raste zanimljivo je vidjeti koji su to čimbenici koji utječu na potražnju za energijom i kolika je važnost pojedinog čimbenika.U radu se regresijskom analizom defi nira funkcija potražnje za prirod-nim plinom. Utvrđeno je da potražnja za prirodnim plinom primarno ovisi o srednjoj mjesečnoj temperaturi zraka, a da je utjecaj ostalih varijabli, cijena energenta za kućanstva i prosječne plaće, znatno manje signifi kantan. Stoga se može zaključiti da je potražnja za prirodnim plinom neelastična ili je ve-oma malo elastična na promjene cijene prirodnoga plina i prosječne plaće. Također se pokazalo da ekonometrijski modeli u kojima je prosječna mjesečna potrošnja prirodnoga plina ovisna varijabla bolje opisuju stvarnost od modela u kojima je ovisna varijabla ukupna potrošnja prirodnoga plina.Konačno, izabrani model u kojem je prosječna mjesečna potrošnja pri-rodnoga plina ovisna varijabla prihvatljiv je ne samo kao model koji opisuje ponašanje kućanstava u potrošnji, nego i kao model za predviđanje buduće potražnje za prirodnim plinom zbog varijacija neovisne varijable.
This paper analyzes econometric modelling of gas demand, monthly household gas demand, it defi nes function of total and average monthly gas demand of households as dependant variable, according to following independent variables: average month tempe-rature, household’s gas price and average salary. Energy and energy demand function are very important for functioning of the economy of every country and for Croatia as well. In the moment when importance of energy is raising more and more, it is interesting to see which factors infl uence the energy demand. It is also interesting to see importance of every single factor. With regression analysis author defi nes gas demand function. Conclusion is that gas demand primarily depends on average monthly air temperature and infl uences of other variables, while household’s gas price and average salary, are less important. Author concludes that gas demand is inelastic or les elastic on changes of household’s gas price and average salary. Also, econometric models with average gas demand are better and more accurate then models with total gas demand. With given model we can predict future gas demand according to the variation of independent model variable

U današnjem dinamičnom i konkurentski intenzivnom okruženju, poduzeća moraju znatno vrijeme, uključujući ljudske i fi nancijske potenci-jale, posvetiti mjerenju uspješnosti ostvarenja strateških ciljeva. Zbog toga se kao prijeka potreba nameće primjena odgovarajućeg sustava strateškog upravljanja i mjerenja uspješnosti prikladnoga za neprekidno praćenje vri-jednosti nematerijalne imovine kao što su inovacije, zadovoljstvo zaposlenika i odnosi s kupcima i dobavljačima. Činjenica je da važnost strategije nikada nije bila veća. Sustav uravnoteženih ciljeva pokazao se provjerenim i efi kas-nim instrumentom koji poduzećima omogućava prepoznavanje, praćenje i kvantifi ciranje nematerijalne imovine i uspješnu primjenu diferencirajućih strategija. Posljednje istraživanje na uzorku od 400 najuspješnijih hrvatskih poduzeća pokazalo je da, usprkos identifi ciranim problemima u poslovanju i strateškom ponašanju, samo 23% primjenjuju Sustav uravnoteženih ciljeva kao sustav strateškog upravljanja.
In today’s dynamic, highly competitive environment organizations must devote sig-nifi cant time, as well as human and fi nancial resources to measuring their performance in achieving strategic goals. Therefore organizations must implement an appropriate strategic management - and performance measurement system which is suitable for capturing the value of intangible assets such as employee satisfaction, innovation, and customer and supplier relationships. The fact is that the importance of strategy is more important today then it has ever been. The Balanced Scorecard has emerged as a proven and effective tool in organization’s quest to capture, describe, and translate intangible assets into real value and allow organization to successfully implement differentiating strategies. A recent survey on the sample of 400 most successful Croatian organizations found that, despite recognized problems in their business and strategic behavior, only 23 percent has implemented the Balanced Scorecard as strategic management system.

UTJECAJ MAKROEKONOMSKIH ČIMBENIKA NA IMIDŽ DRŽAVE
INFLUENCE OF MACROECONOMIC FACTORS ON COUNTRY IMAGE

image; country image; product image; dimensions of image; image transfer
Znanstvenici su prihvatili paradigmu da potrošači s pozitivnim stavo-vima prema proizvodima iz razvijenih zemalja istodobno imaju pozitivan imidž prema zemlji porijekla kategorije proizvoda. Ti imidži predstavljaju skup vjerovanja o dimenzijama koje čine značajna obilježja proizvoda. Sa druge strane, nedavna istraživanja pokazuju da imidž zemlje značajno utječe na potrošačevo vrednovanje postojećih proizvoda, i na vrednovanje novih proizvoda. Utjecaj može biti izravan afektivnom komponentom i neizravan kognitivnom komponentom. No, prilikom analize imidža zemlje potrebno je identifi cirati koliki je imidž te zemlje. Zatim se moraju istražiti jačina i značaj utjecaja svake pojedine dimenzije imidža zemlje na postojeće kategorije proizvoda. Ako imidž zemlje nije prihvatljiv, marketinški bi stručnjaci morali iskoristiti pozitivne vrijednosti i koncepte uz pomoć kojih bi informirali oda-brane tržišne segmente, najprije na domaćem tržištu, a onda i na inozemnim tržištima. Za male se države predlaže strategija «kišobran» da bi se kombinirali pozitivni pojedinačni koncepti u sheme kojima će se država predstavljati kao poželjna marka.U svrhu razvijanja instrumenta za mjerenje imidža Hrvatske, proveli smo istraživanje u tijeku zime godine 2005. Uzorak se sastojao od 986 hrvatskih građana iz 11 najvećih hrvatskih gradova. Na osnovi naše premise da je za male zemlje imidž države važniji od imidža marke proizvoda u kreiranju ukupne konkurentske prednosti, razvili smo upitnik, koristeći se prethodnim istraživanjima. Na osnovi teorijskih i empirijskih saznanja koja se odnose na kreiranje imidža države, i na osnovi podrobne komparativne analize rezultata prethodnih znanstvenih istraživanja, izdvojene su dimenzije imidža Republike Hrvatske. Predložene dimenzije poslužit će kao osnova za buduću strategiju kreiranja imidža države i prenošenja imidža Republike Hrvatske na imidž hrvatskih proizvoda, ljudi i usluga i na sve ostale koncepte i vrijednosti koji će činiti željeni imidž specifi čne države.
It has been accepted by academics that consumers, having positive attitudes toward products from developed countries, have at the same time positive image of the country of product origin. These images indicate a set of beliefs about dimensions that represent important product features. On the other hand recent research shows that country image can have signifi cant infl uence on consumers’ existing product evaluation, as well as new products evaluation. The infl uence can be direct through affective component and indirect through cognitive component. However in studying the country image it is necessary to decide on country image dimensions. Then one should research infl uence of country im-age on existing and new product and product categories. However if country image is not acceptable than marketers should use positive values and concepts and communicate them to selected market segments, fi rst domestic and after that to chosen international market. For small countries umbrella strategy has been proposed in order to combine all positive concepts into scheme which will communicate country as a desirable brand. For the purpose of developing instrument to measure Croatian image, we used a geographic zone sampling procedure in total of 986 Croatian citizens in 11 biggest cities during winter 2005. Based on our premise, that for small countries country image is more important than product brand image in forming total competitive advantage, we develop questionnaire using previous studies undertaken on this issue. On the basis of theoretical and empirical notions related to country image formation, and on the basis of a detailed comparative analysis of previous scientifi c research results, we found image dimensions for the Republic of Croatia. The proposed dimensions will serve as a basis for future strategy of country image creation and possibility of transferring the image of the Republic of Croatia to the image of Croatian products, people, services and all other concepts and values that comprise desired brand image of specifi c cou

EUROPSKA PROIZVODNJA I HRVATSKA DO 2020.1: PROGNOZA MANVIS DELPHI ISTRAŽIVANJA
MANUFACTURING IN EUROPE AND CROATIA TILL 2020: THE FORECASTS OF MANVIS DELPHI RESEARCH

Predviđanje je osnovni alat za strateško i taktičko planiranje. Predvi-đa njem se kompanije, pojedinci ili cjelokupne države mogu pripremiti za događaje koji dolaze. Upravo zbog takvih pobuda Europska je komisija u prosincu 2003. godine pokrenula projekt MANVIS – Manufacturing Visions da bi podrobno ispitala koje su perspektive europske proizvodnje.MANVIS je zamišljen kao sveobuhvatno istraživanje razvitka koncepata – od proizvodne tehnologije do organizacijskih koncepata. Istraživanje je podijeljeno u deset glavnih kategorija. Njima se prije svega željelo istražiti vremenski horizont realizacije i upotrebe pojedinog koncepta u masovnoj proizvodnji i zaostaje li Europa za ostalim svjetskim silama, kao što su npr., Amerika ili Japan. U istraživanju sudjeluju 22 europske zemlje, a kao i u mnogim dugoročnim istraživanjima (vremenski je horizont 20 godina) koristilo se Delphi metodom.Rezultati su iznimno zanimljivi, i to oni općeniti na europskoj razini i oni u usporedbi s odgovorima samo iz Hrvatske. Glavni problem koji muči Europu jest problem premještanja proizvodnje u područja s manjim troškovima radne snage i s nižim ekološkim standardima.Drugo vrlo važno pitanje bilo je: kako povećati konkurentnost europske privrede? Proizašlo je da bi, ako se želi slijediti američki primjer, bilo po-trebno više ulagati u razvitak i u upotrebu inteligentnih i nanomaterijala. Kao potencijalne prepreke takvom razvitku stručnjaci ističu ekonomsku održivost i tehnološku provedivost, a tek je na trećem mjestu nedostatak ulaganja u istraživanje i razvitak.Na posljetku bismo se željeli osvrnuti na probleme koji muče hrvatski proizvodni sektor. To se ponajprije odnosi na ulogu države u zaštiti i pomoći hrvatskome poduzetništvu, na potrebu stalnog obrazovanja, na potrebu pri-mjene novih tehnologija i na važnost inovacija. Glavne prepreke rješavanju ovih problema stručnjaci vide u zakonima, a onda i u nedostatku kvalifi ciranih ljudskih potencijala. Smatramo da bi se većim investiranjem u istraživanje i razvitak u proizvodnom sektoru i u istraživačkim institucijama, povećala mogućnost inovacija, pa time i konkurentnost, ali se to ne može postići bez vrhunskog kadra.
Good forecasting is extremely important for strategic and tactical decision making. Forecasting enables companies, individuals or whole nations to prepare themselves for future events. That is why the European Commission started the project Manufacturing Visions – MANVIS – so that we can investigate the future of manufacturing in Europe. MANVIS is designed as a holistic research of relevant concepts – from manufacturing technology to organisational concepts. The research is divided into 10 main topics. Primary focus is put on time span of realisation and widespread use of certain concept and the question: does Europe lag behind world forces as America and Japan. 22 countries were involved in the research. As in many long term forecasting researches (time span is 20 years), Delphi method is used. The results are very interesting for the whole Europe and we compared them to Croatian answers. The main problem in Europe is the question of relocation to areas with lower labour costs and lower environmental standards. The other important question is how to increase Europe’s competitiveness. Now we see that it is necessary to invest more into research and development of intelligent and nano materials. Experts say that potential barriers are economic viability, technological feasibility, and lack of R&D funding. Finally we would like to address questions which bother Croatian companies. Results show that Croatian government should take a more active role in protecting local manufacturing. Also is needed to invest in permanent education, the necessity of using new technologies and more innovations. To solve these problems, the identifi ed barriers are the ineffi ciency of public law and lack of highly qualifi ed human resources. We believe that government incentives to local production would keep these invaluable human resources in Croatia. The source of competitive advantage greatly depends on possibility of innovation and that cannot be achieved without top specialists

UTJECAJ DOMAĆE I INOZEMNE VLASNIČKESTRUKTURE PODUZEĆA NA POSLOVNO PLANIRANJE U RH
IMPACT OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE ON BUSINESS PLANNING IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Poslovno planiranje (kontroling) nezaobilazni je element razvijene tržiš-ne ekonomije. Uvođenje tržišne ekonomije u Republici Hrvatskoj dovelo je do povećanog uvoza kojim je zaoštrena konkurencija u svim granama djelatnosti, a omogućen je i ulaz inozemnog kapitala osnivanjem vlastitih poduzeća ili kupnjom postojećih domaćih poduzeća. Prema iskustvima zemalja razvijene tržišne ekonomije, povećana konkurencija i razvitak globalnoga tržišta utječu na potrebu efi kasnog planiranja i kontrole u poduzećima. Svrha je ovoga rada je utvrditi postojeći trend u Republici Hrvatskoj i ispitati utjecaj dviju osnovnih vrsti vlasničkih struktura poduzeća – domaćeg i inozemnog vlasništva na poslovno planiranje hrvatskih poduzeća.
Business planning (controlling) is an unavoidable component of developed market economy. The imposition of the market economy in the Republic of Croatia led to the increased import which resulted in more stringent competition in all industrial and trade branches. The entrance of foreign capital was enabled by founding the self-owned companies or buying the existing domestic companies. According to the experience of the countries with developed market economy, increased competition and development of the global market require effi cient planning and control in the companies. The purpose of this paper is to defi ne the existing trend in the Republic of Croatia and examine the impact of two main types of ownership structures of the companies – domestic and foreign ownership on business planning in the Republic of Croatia.

Autor razmatra problematiku razvoja malih i srednjih poduzeća u Bosni i Hercegovini sa ciljem utvrđivanja njihove sposobnosti za prilagođivanje budućim velikim izazovima u poslovnoj okolini, uzrokovanima aktivnim uključivanjem Bosne i Hercegovine u proces globalizacije. Pitanje malog i srednjeg poduzetništva, s jedne strane, predstavlja značajno pitanje politike regionalnog razvoja, a sa druge strane, predstavlja sastavni dio nacionalne ekonomske politike države, kojom se defi niraju okviri za provođenje razvojne politike. Predmet ovog rada veoma je važan i za ekonomsku revitalizaciju BiH i njezinu uspješnu konkurentsku utakmicu u užem regionalnom i širem okruženju. Mala i srednja poduzeća u BiH najlošija su komponenta ukupne organizacione strukture gospodarstva, pa je utoliko urgentnija njihova ubrza-na razvojna orijentacija, financijska konsolidacija i konkurentnost. Zaključci autorova istraživanja ukazuju na nedovoljan stupanj razvoja malih i srednjih poduzeća za poduzimanje značajnijih organizacijskih promjena, a u okviru analize pojedinih komponenti njihovoga organizacijskog potencijala, niska razina sposobnosti predstavlja kočnicu bržem ekonomskom rastu.
The article deals with the issue of the SMEs development in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to determine capabilities and opportunities for their future adjustment to grand challenges in business environment caused by active B&H participation in the process of globalization. All conclusions and researches conducted by the author of this article show insuffi cient level of SMEs development necessary for the realization of signifi cant orga-nizational changes. Analyzing all this, it is evident that low level of SMEs’ capability and capacity represents a barrier for quicker economic growth. In comparison to the previous years, there is a signifi cant improvement in elimina-tion of administrative barriers for both domestic and foreign investing. Due to the speed of implementation of those reforms it could be stated that by the end of the year 2005 the major administrative barriers will be eliminated, disputes will be settled in quicker way and larger protection of creditors will be provided. In order to improve the business climate more attention will be paid to: creation of better conditions for achieving of higher competitiveness level of domestic production, de-crease of tax rates and strengthening of economic management. Those two factors represent key strategic instruments in future development of small and middle sized enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Strengthening of entrepreneurship in B&H is already defi ned as a precondition for fast private sector development, especially SMEs development. In comparison to the other countries in transition, B&H has the lowest number of companies per 1000 inhabitants. Costs for foundation of a company are the highest ones in the region, higher than in the countries of EU, USA and Russia. This represents a clear signal for the B&H Government to speed up the process of the implementation of the necessary reforms in order to create a business climate suitable for SMEs development. However, in spite of all this a number of newly established companies is very high. According to the Court data, 12.141 new companies were established in B&H for the pe-riod of fi rst 10 months of the year 2004. This data clearly indicate that there is a high level of business interest, but still this level is lower than in the other countries of the region or EU countries. On the basis of the evident conclusions here it can be stated that there are no enough evidences showing that small and medium sized enterprises are really ready to accept the necessary changes. However, those changes represent precondition for successful surpassing of all barriers in this sector of B&H economy (administrative barriers, insuffi cient usage of informatics services and lack of own working force

THE DUAL INCOME TAX: IMPLEMENTATION AND EXPERIENCE IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
DUALNI POREZ NA DOHODAK: PRIMJENA I ISKUSTVO U EUROPSKIM ZEMLJAMA
Bernd Genser
income tax reform; dual income tax
reforma poreza na dohodak; dualni porez na dohodak
The paper summarizes the arguments in favour of a shift from comprehen-sive to dual income taxation and complements the discussion by an overview on tax reforms which reveal the characteristic features of a dual income tax system. The scope of our analysis is not restricted to the Nordic countries, we also include other European countries, whose tax reform steps can be regarded as a move toward a dual income tax. Although there are problems of implementing and running a dual income tax system, we argue that it may be worthwhile for the Commission to consider dual income taxation as a blueprint for income tax coordination in the EU.
Ovaj rad daje pregled argumenata kojima se zagovara prijelaz od sintetičkog poreza na dohodak na dualno oporezivanje dohotka. Rasprava završava pregledom poreznih reformi koje otkrivaju karakteristične značajke dualnog poreznog sustava. Analiza nije ograničena samo na nordijske zemlje, već uključuje i one europske zemlje porezne reforme kojih kreću u smjeru uvođenja dualnog poreza na dohodak. Iako kod uvođenja i funkcioniranja dualnog poreza na dohodak postoje određeni problemi, smatramo vrijednim truda da ga Komisija razmotri kao obrazac za koordinaciju poreza na dohodak u Europskoj uniji.

PROCJENA PSIHOMETRIJSKIH KARAKTERISTIKA MJERNE LJESTVICE ZA MJERENJE PERCEPCIJE KORUPCIJE
THE ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICSOF A SCALE FOR MEASURING CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS
Edo Rajh

percepcija korupcije gospodarstvenika; mjerna ljestvica; pouzdanost; valjanost
corruption perceptions of business; measurement scale; reliability; validity
U radu je testirana mjerna ljestvica za mjerenje percepcije korupcije. Testi rana ljestvica primjenjuje se u anketi za potrebe izrade The Global Compe titiveness Report Svjetskog gospodarskog foruma. Ista je ljestvica primije njena u konstrukciji CPB indeksa (indeks percepcije korupcije go-spodarstvenika u Hrvatskoj). Analizirane su pouzdanost mjerne ljestvice, njezina diskriminantna i konvergentna valjanost, i njezina dimenzionalnost. Pouzdanost mjerne ljestvice analizirana je Cronbach alpha koefi cijentom, Alpha-if-deleted pokazateljem i item-to-total korelacijom. Diskriminant-na i konvergentna valjanost testirana je eksplorativnom i konfi rmativnom faktorskom analizom. Dimenzionalnost mjerne ljestvice ispitana je konfi r-mativnom faktorskom analizom, uz prethodnu provjeru dimenzionalnosti primjenom eksplorativne faktorske analize. Rezultati provedenih analiza nedvojbeno upućuju na zaključak da analizirana mjerna ljestvica posjeduje zadovoljavajuće psihometrijske karakteristike i da predstavlja odgovarajući mjerni instrument za mjerenje i istraživanje percepcije korupcije.
Scale for corruption perceptions measurement is tested in this paper. Tested scale is used in a survey for The Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Fo-rum. It is also used in constructing the CPB Index (Corruption Perceptions of Business Index). Reliability, discriminant and convergent validity, and dimensionality of a scale are analyzed. Reliability of a scale is tested with Cronbach alpha coeffi cient, Alpha-if-deleted indicator and item-to-total correlation. Discriminant and convergent validity is tested with exploratory and confi rmatory factor analysis. Dimensionality is tested with confi rmatory factor analysis, with previous dimensionality check with exploratory factor analysis. Re-sults undoubtedly indicate that analyzed measurement scale has satisfactory psychometric characteristics and that it is an adequate measurement instrument for measuring and re-searching corruption perceptions

KREIRANJE DINAMIČKOG MODELA IZBORA PRODAVAONICE
CREATING OF DYNAMIC STORE CHOICE MODEL
Sanda Renko
model izbora prodavaonice; maloprodaja; potrošač
store choice model; retailing; consumer
Proces izbora određenoga tipa prodavaonice funkcija je dviju grupa čimbenika: onih na strani potrošača i onih na strani prodavaonice. Budući da veliki broj kriterija diktira donošenje potrošačeve odluke o tome gdje kupiti određene proizvode i da oni interaktivno reagiraju i utječu jedan na drugi i na sam izbor prodavaonice, razvijeni su modeli kojima se taj problem pokušao učiniti razumljivijim. Svrha je autoričina rada ustanoviti na osnovi identifi ciranih ključnih čimbenika koji utječu na izbor prodavaonice na koji način i kojim intenzitetom pojedini čimbenici djeluju na donošenje odluke o izboru i kreirati model izbora prodavaonice (koji se sastoji od defi niranih kriterija) koji će domaćim maloprodajnim poduzećima osigurati smjernice za kreiranje potencijalne strategije za postizanje konkurentske prednosti na tržištu.
The store choice process is the function of a set of consumer characteristics and sto-re attributes. There is a wide range of attributes which are important to consumers when deciding where to shop. Those attributes interact between each other and with the store choice process as well. In order to make the process more understandable, various store choice models were developed. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the attributes of store choice which are the most important for the Croatian consumers. Also, the author tries to discover the manner and intensity by which specifi c attributes affect the process of decision making and to develop the model which consists of those attributes. Croatian retailers can use this model to create strategy which will help them to attract consumers better than their competitors and to obtain competitive advantage on the market.

social justice; market effi ciency solidarity; welfare state
Rastuće ekonomske nejednakosti i koordinacija socijalne politike s mjerama ekonomske politike radi ostvarivanja socijalno pravednije di-stribucije predmet su mnogih razmatranja rasprava i analiza, kako među znanstvenicima i stručnjacima tako i među nositeljima ekonomske politike i političarima. Ipak su istraživanja te problematike u Hrvatskoj rudimentar-na. Maksimizacija tržišne efi kasnosti legitiman je cilj samo uz respektiranje zahtjeva socijalne pravednosti. U radu se donosi sažeti prikaz teoretskih koncepata, razmatrajući pitanje međuodnosa i ingerencija države i tržišta, s prikazom hrvatskih tendencija. Cilj je rada problematizirati i aktualizirati tematiku, ukazati na moguće izazove u Hrvatskoj otvoriti pitanja i potaknuti nova istraživanja.
The question of growing global economic inequalities and the coordination of eco-nomic and social policy with the primary goal of achieving social justice in distribution to-gether with economic effi ciency is the subject of discussion among researchers, politicians and economic-policy makers. However, research about these questions in Croatia has been too rudimentary. This article gives a short overview of important theoretical concepts regarding this subject, discussing and developing questions of the complex relationship and domain of the state and market. The aim of the article is to give an overview regarding the subject, point out potential challenges for Croatia and open the questions for further research and discussion.

PRODIRANJE NOVIH I INTERNETSKIH TEHNOLOGIJA KAO POKRETAČA GOSPODARSKOGA RASTA U JAVNOM I PRIVATNOM SEKTORU REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE
THE PENETRATION OF NEW INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES AS THE ENGINE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTOR IN CROATIA

Economic Growth; New Technologies; ERP; Internet Economy
Tehnološki je progres postao snažna varijabla u modelu gospodarskoga rasta neke nacionalne ekonomije. Rast hrvatskoga gospodarstva zasnivao se dosad u najvećoj mjeri na tradicionalnoj, «staroj» ekonomiji, dok nove tehnologije nisu dublje prodrle u državnu upravu i u realni sektor gospodar-stva. U ovome su radu analizirani rezultati istraživanja o dostupnosti javnih usluga na internetu, koje je provela Vlada RH. Autor je istražio prodor novih tehnologija u bankarski i realni sektor hrvatskoga gospodarstva. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su prodiranja novih tehnologija i uključivanje u internetsku ekonomiju hrvatskoga javnoga i gospodarskoga sektora veoma niski. Zahvaljujući visokim ulaganjima u nove tehnologije, hrvatski bankar-ski sektor uhvatio je korak s najboljom svjetskom praksom. Analiza rezul-tata provedenih istraživanja sugerira zaključak da je gospodarski rast, za razliku od drugih tranzicijskih zemalja, mogao biti viši da su javni sektor i poduzeća više ulagali u nove tehnologije i da su se više koristili potencijali-ma koje pružaju internetski poslovni modeli.
Sustained economic growth in a open economy is strongly depending on exogenous technological progress. Economic growth in Croatia in the last decade was relaying ra-ther on the “old economy”, while new technologies penetrated neither in private nor in public sector in order to be credited as an engine of growth. A research on the penetration of Internet in public sector in Croatia has been analyzed in this paper. Author conducted a research on the penetration of new technologies in banking industry and non-fi nancial sectors of Croatian national economy. The results are showing very low level of the new technology implementation. Banking sector is, due to strong investments in banking tech-nology in the past years, catching up the best practice. Analysis of these empirical resear-ches is leading to the conclusion that economic growth in Croatia, which was lower than in other transition countries, hasn’t been satisfying because of lower investments in new technologies and low penetration of Internet business models.

FIAT MONETARY REGIME AND COOPERATION THEORY
George Macesich
Fiat Monetary Regime; theory of cooperation; strategies of cooperation; “Tit-for-Tat” strategy; nation-state; sovereignty
Fiat Monetary Regime is a serious problem for world policy makers. A major obstacle to the operation and indeed survival of this “current unprec-edented fi at monetary regime” or system are the member nation-states with competing and often confl icting agendas. In short, nationalism may simply overwhelm the monetary regime.Is it possible to modify existing nation-state institutions and policies so that each participant nation-state in the fi at monetary regime acts as in a free market to promote an end that was no part of its intention, as though led by the Smithian invisible hand? For useful insight this paper turns to the theory of cooperation.

REFORMA I TRANZICIJA. KRITIČKI OSVRT NA DOGAĐANJA U PRIJELOMNIM VREMENSKIM RAZDOBLJIMA
TRANSITION AND REFORM. CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE EVENTS IN THE CRUCIAL TIME PERIODS
Dragomir Vojnić

transition; reform; market; self-management; anti-market dogmatism; pluralism; democratization; socialism
Društvena događanja na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije, tijekom druge po-lovice prošlog stoljeća, plijenila su pozornost svjetske znanstvene i političke javnosti. To se posebno odnosi na Rezoluciju Informbiroa iz godine 1948., na pojavu samoupravnog socijalizma, na osnivanje pokreta nesvrstanih, kao i na opću geopolitičku poziciju Titove Jugoslavije u vrijeme hladnog rata.Autor spada među one ekonomiste-znanstvenike koji imaju veoma dugu refor-msku tradiciju. Osobno je sudjelovao u svim velikim prijelomnim događanjima.To se posebno odnosi na (neuspjeli) pokušaj Hruščova da svoje refor-me usmjeri na razvoj modela samoupravljanja u mjesecu studenom godine 1962. Na domaćem planu autor govori o velikoj društveno-ekonomskoj re-formi iz godine 1965. i kao nastavku te reforme govori o dugoročnom pro-gramu ekonomske stabilizacije tijekom osamdesetih.Eksplozija balkanskog nacionalizma onemogućila je pluralizaciju i demokratizaciju modela samoupravnog socijalizma. To je bio prvi pokušaj stvaranja modela održivog razvoja. Temeljem kritičkog osvrta na događanja u prijelomnim vremenskim razdobljima autor spominje međuovisnost refor-mskog djelovanja Tita, Hruščova i Gorbačova.
Obojica posljednjih su pali na tržištu, ali sa različitim međuovisnostima. I premda se samoupravni socijalizam nije održao njegovi pozitivni učinci su neupitni. Ti su učinci dvojaki. Prvo, oni su stimulirali reforme u drugim, po-sebno središnje europskim zemljama. Drugo oni su ubrzali krah boljševičke opcije pa i rušenje Berlinskog zida.
Social events in the former Yugoslavia occupied the attention of the world scientifi c and political public during the second half of the past century. That especially relates to the Cominform resolution from 1948, the rise of the self-managemnt, the establishment of of non-alignent movement, as well as to the general geopolitical position of the Tito’s Yugoslavia during the cold war.The author belongs to the economists-researchers with a very long reform tradition. He personally participated in all big crucial events.That especially concerns the (unseccessful) Hruschov’s attempt to direct his reforms to development of the self-management model in November 1962. At domestic plan, the author talks about the big socially-economic reform from 1965 and as the continuation of this reform about the long-term program of the economic stabilization during the ei-ghtieth.The explosion of the Balkan nationalism prevented the pluralism and democrati-zaion of the model of the self-managed socialism. That was the fi rst attempt of the creation of the sustainable development model. Based on the critical review of the events in the crucial time periods, the author mentions the interdependence of the reform activity of Tito, Hruschov and Gorbachov.Last two of them failed at market, but with different interdependences. Although the self-managed socialism did not survive, its positive effects are unquestionable. These effects are of two kinds. First, they stimulated reforms in other, especially Central Euro-pean countries. Second, they accelerated the collapse of the Bolshevik option and even the overthrow of the Berlin wall.

TOP MANAGEMENT'S ATTITUDES - BASED SWOT ANALYSIS IN THE CROATIAN HOTEL INDUSTRY
SWOT ANALIZA TEMELJENA NA STAVOVIMA MENADŽERA TRGOVAČKIH DRUŠTAVA IZ PODRUČJA “HOTELI I RESTORANI” U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ

The purpose of the research is to provide an enhanced understanding of the top mana gement team (TMT) members’ attitudes about the Croatian hotel industry environment in 1999 and in 2005. Field research was carried out in 1999 and in 2005 utilizing questionnaires. The surveys examined the TMT members’ attitudes to the companies’ external and internal environ-ments. SWOT analyses, correlation matrixes, reliability analyses and regres-sion analysis were used to examine the perceived situations and tendencies in this industry.The authors’ viewpoint is that it is more appropriate to stop at the SWOT analysis and to suggest that top management of hotel companies focus on improving the internal factors in the category neither strengths nor weak-nesses instead of focusing on the strategies according to the TOWS matrix. This is an essential supposition for the company’s effectiveness at building and gaining of competitive positions from which to act on the threat factors from the external environment. Scale reliability analysis has shown that the scales are reliable. Re-gression analysis and testing by means of partial correlation coeffi cients, used in testing the relation between the environment and the TMT dynamics, have shown that in 1999 there is no signifi cant linear relation between the external environment and the TMT dynamics, but that the relation is indirect through the internal environment. In 2005 the same analyses indicates that there is a signifi cant statistical relation between the external and internal environment and the TMT dynamics.
Svrha istraživanja je razumijevanje stavova timova vrhovnih menadžera o okruženju trgovačkih društava iz djelatnosti Hoteli i restorani u Republici Hrvatskoj u 1999. i 2005. godini. Empirijska istraživanja provedena su 1999. i 2005. godine pomoću upitnika. Istraživanjima su ispitani stavovi članova timova vrhovnih menadžera o vanjskom i unu-tarnjem okruženju. U radu je korištena SWOT analiza, korelacija, analiza pouzdanosti skale i regresijska analiza kako bi se ispitala situacija i tendencije u ovoj djelatnosti.Argumentira se stajalište autora o primjerenosti “zaustavljanja” na SWOT analizi i savjetuje se usmjeravanje vrhovnog menadžmenta dioničkih društava iz ove djelatnosti na ojačavanje unutarnjih čimbenika u grupi ni snage ni slabosti umjesto fokusiranja na strategije po TOWS matrici. Ovo je ključna pretpostavka za gradnju i stjecanje konkurent-nih prednosti temeljem kojih se može djelovati na prijetnje iz vanjskog okruženja. Analiza pouzdanosti skale pokazala je da su skale korištene u radu pouzdane. Regresijska analiza i koefi cijenti parcijalne korelacije korišteni za ispitivanje povezanosti između okruženja i dinamike članova tima vrhovnih menadžera pokazali su da u 1999. godini nije bilo statistički značajne veze između vanjskog okruženja i dinamike, ali je veza bila indirektna - preko unutarnjeg okruženja. Ista je analiza 2005. godine pokazala da i vanjsko i un-utarnje okruženje imaju statistički značajnu linearnu vezu s dinamikom tima vrhovnih menadžera.

U radu se analiziraju horizontalna i vertikalna specijalizacija u međunarodnoj robnoj razmjeni u Hrvatskoj i Češkoj. Rad je usmjeren na značaj i ulogu pojedinih proizvodnih grupa u ukupnoj strukturi međunarodne robne razmjene. Analiza je napravljena primjenom k-means klaster metode. Ulazne su varijable RCA pokazatelj, GL indeks i RUV pokazatelj, a objek-ti proizvodne grupe na razini tri znamenke SMTK. U strukturi intra-indu-strijske razmjene Hrvatske prevladava vertikalna specijalizacija i izvoz male dodane vrijednosti. Hrvatska ostvaruje izvoz relativno velike dodane vrije-dnosti razmjenom duhanskih proizvoda, farmaceutskih proizvoda, i dijela tekstilnih i ribljih proizvoda. Brodogradnja, koja ima najveći udio u robnom izvozu Hrvatske, ima obilježje horizontalne specijalizacije. Najznačajniji proizvodi kod kojih dominira izvoz male dodane vrijednosti su najveći dio poljoprivrednih i prehrambenih proizvoda i proizvodi od drveta. U uspored-bi s Hrvatskom, u intra-industrijskoj razmjeni Češke prevladavaju horizon-talna specijalizacija, i vertikalna specijalizacija, gdje je izvoz velike dodane vrijednosti.
This paper examines horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade specialization in the international merchandize trade in Croatia and the Czech Republic. The work is oriented toward the role and contribution of individual product groups in total trade patterns. The analysis is made using k-means cluster method. The RCA indicator, GL index and RUV indicator are used as variables and product groups at the three-digit level of the SITC as objects. In Croatian intra-industry trade vertical specialization is dominant, as well as low quality export. Croatia has high quality export in trade with tobacco products, pharma-ceutical and medicinal products, some textile products and fi sh products. The shipbuil-ding industry, that has the greatest share in Croatian export, has horizontal specialization. The most important low quality export products are the great majority of food products and wood products. Compared to Croatia, in intra-industry trade of the Czech Republic, horizontal specialization is dominant, as well as vertical specialization with high quality export.

economic instruments; pollution; marine environment; Croatia; OECD
Ekonomski instrumenti u provedbi politike zaštite okoliša pridonose ispravljanju netočnih tržišnih signala time što se njima uključuju troškovi onečišćenja i ostali troškovi čuvanja okoliša u cijenu proizvoda i usluga.Zemlje OECD primjenjuju cijeli spektar različitih ekonomskih instru-menata u zaštiti okoliša. Ti se instrumenti primjenjuju različito po sadržaju, obuhvatu i različitim mjerilima u pojedinim zemljama. U Republici Hrvatskoj postoji širi spektar različitih ekonomskih in-strumenata u zaštiti okoliša s većom zastupljenošću raznih naknada i nare-dbodavnih i nadzornih instrumenata. U cjelini u Hrvatskoj nedostaju trgo-vanje dozvolama i uglavnom instrumenti koji su u ovom radu predloženi za uvođenje. To su dodatna naknada za zaštitu voda, trgovanje dozvolama za zračna onečišćenja, naknada za: otpadne električne i elektroničke proizvo-de, otpadna vozila, otpadne gume, stare akumulatore, pesticide i umjetna gnojiva, istrošena industrijska ulja, plastičnu ambalažu i ambalažu za piće.Ovim radom iskazani su postojeći i osnovni smjerovi razvitka nekih ekonomskih instrumenata onečišćenja mora u Republici Hrvatskoj koji bi se mogli uvesti.
Economic instruments used in implementing environmental policies help to rectify incorrect market signals by bringing the costs of pollution and other environmental costs into the price of goods and services. In OECD countries, an entire array of economic instruments for environmental poli-cy is in use. These instruments vary with regard to their contents, scope and the standards applied in individual countries. In the Republic of Croatia, in addition to command and control instruments, there is a broad range of economic instruments for environmental policy in use that focus on various types of charges. In general, Croatia lacks tradable permits and other instruments that this paper recommends for introduction. These include an additional water protection fee; tradable permits for air pollution; fees on refuse electrical and electronic products, refuse vehicles and tires, disused accumulators, pesticides and artifi cial fertilisers, waste industrial oils, plastic packaging and beverage containers. This paper explores the existing and primary lines of development for some of the economic instruments that could be introduced in Croatia to combat marine pollution.

U ovom su radu predstavljeni rezultati istraživanja provedenoga u hr-vatskim poduzećima, svrha kojih je utvrditi razine integriranosti korištenih računovodstveno informacijskih sustava u tim poduzećima - samu svrhu njiho-va korištenja. Naime, pretpostavka je za učinkovito korištenje takvoga sustava, za potrebe uspješnog poslovanja, odnosno neprekidnog donošenja kvalitetnih poslovnih odluka, odgovarajuća razina integriranosti aplikacija pojedinačnih područja poslovanja unutar cjelovitog informacijskog sustava.Pojedini rezultati istraživanja eksplicitno ukazuju na potrebu inten ziv-nijeg korištenja, ali isto tako i na potrebu unapređenja postojećih računo-vodstveno informacijskih sustava u hrvatskim poduzećima, da bi na primje-ren način mogli potpomoći kvalitetnijem odvijanju poslovnih aktivnosti.
In this paper the results of the research are presented which has been conducted in Croatian companies, in order to specify integration level of used accounting information systems in those companies, as well as purpose of their usage. Namely, the condition for effective usage of such a system in order to successfully run business and constantly make qualitative business decisions, is appropriate integration level of single applications inside the entire information system. Some of the research results explicitly indicate requirement for more intensive usa-ge, as well as the need for improvement of existing accounting information systems in Croatian companies, in order to provide relevant and more qualitative support to business activities.

porezna reforma; oporezivanje dobiti; heidelberški model jednostavnoga poreza
The goal of this article is to assess the pro and cons of various reform proposals in the area of profi t taxation from an economic perspective. In do-ing so, the authors try to highlight some misunderstandings in the current reform debate, reconcile the polar positions of proponents of (i) pure cash accounting and (ii) pure accrual accounting, identify viable options that combine the advantages of both methods and discuss the potential and limits of approaches to simplifying the method of calculating profi t tax in practice. In this article the authors also present a new method of determining taxable profi t based on the Heidelberg Simple Tax1 Model. This new method has been applied in the Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2004.<
Cilj je ovoga rada s ekonomskog gledišta ocijeniti argumente za i protiv raznih pri-jedloga reformi na području oporezivanja dobiti. U toj su namjeri autori pokušali osvi-jetliti neke nesporazume u tekućoj reformskoj raspravi, pomiriti suprotstav ljene pozicije zagovarača (I) računovodstva na čistoj gotovinskoj osnovi i (II) računovodstva na čistoj obračunskoj osnovi, zatim identifi cirati održive opcije koje kombiniraju prednosti obiju metoda i raspravljaju mogućnosti i granice pristupa pojednostavljenju metode izračuna poreza na dobit u praksi. U ovome članku autori također predstavljaju novu metodu određivanja oporezive dobiti na osnovi heidelberškog modela jednostavnog poreza (Hei-delberg Simple Tax Model). Ta se nova metoda primjenjuje u distriktu Brčko, Bosna i Hercegovina, od godine 2004.

PRIVATNI KAPITALISTIČKI FUNDAMENTALIZAM, EKONOMSKI LIBERALIZAM I EKONOMSKA ZNANOST
PRIVATE CAPITALIST FUNDAMENTALISM, ECONOMIC LIBERALISM AND ECONOMIC SCIENCE
Zvonimir Baletić
Neoliberalizam se, kao najnovija varijanta ekonomskoga liberalizma, u posljednjih tridesetak godina, nametnuo svijetu kao dominantna ekonomsko-politička doktrina društvenoga razvitka, osmišljen prvenstveno sa stajališta interesa i slobode djelovanja privatno-vlasničkoga kapitala, nudeći se kao projekt ekonomske organizacije svijeta na tržišnim osnovama. On zagovara privatizaciju i deregulaciju ekonomskih aktivnosti, liberalizaciju međuna-rodnih ekonomskih tokova i sustavno smanjivanje državnih funkcija u obla-sti ekonomije. Raspad komunizma, kao mogućega alternativnoga sustava i potreba vraćanja mnogih zemalja sa državnim upravljanjem gospodarstva na tržišni sustav, dao je liberalnom pokretu nov snažan zamah. Evoluciju takvih stavova pratio je i podržavao i razvitak ekonomske znanosti, a njezin mu je dominantni smjer služio kao značajna teorijska i ideološka potpora, pa je svoj smisao nalazio u racionalizaciji liberalne doktrine i prakse.Ideološki savez liberalizma i ekonomske znanosti nije, međutim, ostao bez štete za ekonomsku znanost. Ona je time preuzela i liberalne ideološko-političke postulate kao obvezne za ekonomsku znanost uopće, sužavajući je tako na jedan povijesno poseban sustav i na njegovu praksu ekonomske organizacije, proglašujući sve druge povijesnim zabludama. Time se suzio prostor kritičkoga promišljanja suvremenih realnih problema svjetskoga razvitka, a ekonomsku je znanost lišio velikoga dijela njezine intelektualne tradicije, koji se razvio i pokazao u njezinim legitimnim i korisnim znanstve-nim postignućima. Mnogi smjerovi ekonomske znanosti, znanstveni status kojih nije nikada valjano osporen, odrezan je tako od «standardne» varijante i gurnut na marginu ekonomske misli, obrazovanja i praktične primjene. Ideološki je dogmatizam tako postao «standardni» obrazac ekonomskoga mišljenja.No, da bi paradoks bio veći, liberalna koncepcija ekonomije nije u po-vijesti ekonomske misli ništa novo. Ta je koncepcija, razvijena na svršetku 18. i na početku 19. stoljeća na osnovi učenja Adama Smitha, u velikoj mje-ri određena posebnim osobnim i povijesnim okolnostima njezina autora i vremena, i u mnogim je aspektima osporavana od samoga početka, kako sa stajališta njezine vlastite unutarnje logike, tako i sa stajališta njezine nespo-sobnosti da dade adekvatne odgovore na izazove vremena, a posebno krup-nih ekonomskih poremećaja i socijalnih sukoba. Mnogi alternativni smjero-vi nastali su na osporavanju liberalne doktrine i na nuđenju adekvatnijih i prihvatljivijih pristupa i odgovora. Prikazujući povijesni nastanak i razvitak liberalne doktrine, jednako kao i ograničenost njezine suvremene primjene, autor se zalaže za reafi r-maciju slobode i širine ekonomskih istraživanja u širokom povijesnom i društvenom kontekstu, odbacujući ideološke pristranosti. Suočenoj i danas s ne manje zahtijevnim izazovima, to bi ekonomskoj znanosti vratilo vitalnost i znanstveni ugled za praktično rješavanje složenih društvenih problema i smanjilo bi nezadovoljstvo mnogih istakutih ekonomista njezinom sadašnjom ulogom.
The neoliberalism, as the new variant of economic liberalism, in the last three deca-des was imposed as the dominant economico-political doctrine of the social development, conceived primarily from the standpoint of interests and freedom of action of the privately owned capital, presented as a universal project of economic organization of the world. It is advocating privatization and deregulation of economic activities, free circulation of inter-national economic flows and systematic limitation of the state functions in the economic field. The dissolution of communism, as an possible alternative social system and a need of returning of several countries with state management of the economy to the market system, gave to the liberal movement a new large sway. The evolution of such stances was accompanied and itself supported similar development of economic science, its
prevailing stream joining efforts, offering a theoretical rationalization of the liberal doctrine and practice.The ideological alliance of liberalism and economic science, however, could not have passed without serious harm to the economic science. It was forced to adopt liberal ideologico-political postulates as obligatory for the economic science in general, thus li-miting it to one historically specific social system and practice of economic organization, by qualifying all other social systems as delusions. In this way, the room for critical
considerations of contemporary real problems of the world developments has been narrowed, and the economic science has been deprived of a large part of its intelectual heritage, which was developed and proved as its legitimate and useful scientific achievements. Many streams of economic science, scientific status of which never was convincingly challenged, were cut off from the «standard» stream and pushed on the margin of economic
thought, education and practical application. The ideological dogmatism so has become the «standard» model of economic thinking.To make the paradox greater, the liberal conception of the economy in the history of economic thought is not new. This conception, developed at the end of 18th century, on the basis of Adam Smith’s teachings, in a large extent was determined by particular personal and age-dependent circumstances, and in many respects disputed from the very begining, for its internal logical inconsistencies and for its failure to give satisfactory responses to the great economic disruptions and social confl icts of the age. Several alternative theoretical developments sprang from the rejection of the liberal doctrine and offering more adequate and more convincing approaches and principles.
After having presented historical origins and development of the liberal doctrine, as well as limits of its application to the conditions of the present times, the author is pleading for the reafi rmation of freeddom and diversity of economic enqueries in a large historical and social context, without ideological prejudices. To the economic science, facing today no less pressing demands, this would reestablish vitality and scientific standing for solving complex social problems and diminish dissatisfaction of many eminent economists vith its present role.

POSLJEDICE ULASKA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE U EUROPSKU UNIJU NA OSNOVU ANALIZE TEORIJE OPTIMALNOG VALUTNOG PODRUČJA

Ovaj rad testira posljedice ulaska Bosne i Hercegovine u Europsku uniju na osnovu analize teorije optimalnog valutnog područja. Metodom komparativne analize sagledava se mogućnost pojave ekonomskog šoka na strani potražnje koji će se s manjom vjerovatnoćom dešavati kada se Bosna i Hercegovina pridruži Europskoj monetarnoj uniji. Integracijom Bosne i Her-cegovine u Europsku monetarnu uniju, umjesto asimetričnih šokova, even-tualni šokovi koji se mogu pojaviti imati će tendenciju da budu simetrični. Integracija trgovine može dovesti do regionalne koncentracije industrijskih aktivnosti. U tom slučaju, pojedini šokovi specifi čni za određeni sektor mogu postati ekonomski šokovi za zemlju u cjelini. Tada je potreban devizni tečaj kao instrument makroekonomske politike. Kao rezultat pristupanja Bosne i Hercegovine Europskoj monetarnoj uniju moralo bi doći do smanjenja poja-ve negativnih šokova. Najracionalnije rješenje za Bosnu i Hercegovinu po-stepena je monetarna integracija. Uz stabilnu monetarnu politiku koju Bo-sna i Hercegovina danas ima, potrebno je jačati spoljno-trgovinsku politiku, politiku dohotka, javne fi nancije, industrijsku politiku i efi kasnije upravljati njima.
The paper tests accession implications for Bosnia and Herzegovina on the basis of optimal currency area (OCA) theory analysis. Using the method of comparative analysis, we concluded that the possibility of economic schock on the demand side will be less probable when Bosnia and Herzegovina joins the European Monetary Union (EMU). By integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the EMU, instead of asymetric schocks, the tendency of symetric ones might appear. Trade integration may lead towards regional concentration of industrial activities. In that case, economic schocks specifi c for certain sectors may become economic schocks for the country as a whole. In this case, the exchan-ge rate as the instrument of macroeconomic policy could be used. As the result of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s integration into the EMU, we would have less negative schocks. The most rational solution for Bosnia and Herzegovina is gradual monetary integration. By having stable monetary policy, we need to strengthen the managament of foreign trade policy, income policy, management of public fi nance, industrial policy, etc.

INTEGRATION OF CROATIAN, CEE AND EU EQUITY MARKETS: COINTEGRATION APPROACH

This paper examines bilateral and multilateral integration of equi-ty markets of selected Central and Eastern European countries including Croatia, and German equity market for the period of January 2nd, 1997 to June 10th, 2005.Application of the Johansen cointegration procedure indicates exist-ence of multilateral integration between equity markets of analyzed CEE economies, as well as between the group of CEE equity markets and German equity market. This study offers compelling evidence that the forces driving fi nancial integration are quite powerful, and that we are likely to see more substantial movement in the same direction with time and once these coun-tries join EMU, since evidence from this study suggests that bilateral inte-gration between particular CEE equity markets and German equity market is still absent.
Autorice u ovome članku ispituju bilateralnu i multilateralnu integraciju odabranih tržišta kapitala srednje i istočne Europe, uključivši Hrvatsku i njemačko tržište kapitala za razdoblje od 2. siječnja 1997. do 10. lipnja 2005. Primjena Johansenove kointegracijske metode upućuje na postojanje multilateralne integracije, kako među ispitanim tržištima kapitala zemalja srednje i istočne Europe, tako i među tržištima kapitala zemalja srednje i istočne Europe i njemačkoga tržišta kapitala. Stoga, ovaj rad nudi jasan dokaz da su sile koje pokreću fi nancijsku integraciju prilično snažne i da se s vremenom očekuje dalje kretanje ispitanih tržišta kapitala u smjeru još potpunije integracije, osobito pošto zemlje srednje i istočne Europe uđu u Europsku mon-etarnu uniju. Konačno, izostanak bilateralne integracije između ispitanih tržišta kapitala srednje i istočne Europe i njemačkoga tržišta kapitala naglašava nepotpunost sadašnjega stupnja fi nancijske integracije među ispitanim tržištima kapitala.

Product costs; costing methods; cost allocation methods; production costs structure; production sector; production overheads; direct production costs
Osnovna je svrha ovoga rada utvrditi strukturu troškova proizvodnje i identifi cirati metode obračuna troškova kojima se najčešće koriste u proizvodnom sektoru Republike Hrvatske. Radi postizanja osnovne svrhe, u radu su korištene sve potrebne metode znanstveno–istraživačkog rada. Prilikom identifi ciranja računovodstvenih metoda obračuna troškova primijenjen je deduktivni pristup pri čemu su korištene metoda klasifi kacije i metoda generalizacije. Za potrebe utvrđivanja strukture troškova proizvodnje te metoda obračuna troškova koje se primjenjuju u proizvodnom sektoru Republike Hrvatske provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje pri čemu je dominirao induktivni pristup. Statistička analiza rezultata istraživanja provedena je primjenom relevantnih matematičko–statističkih metoda. Provedenim istraživanjem utvrđena je struktura troškova proizvodnje proizvodnog sektora Republike Hrvatske. Istraživanje je pokazalo da u strukturi troškova proizvodnje proizvodnog sektora Republike Hrvatske dominiraju direktni troškovi proizvodnje (posebno troškovi direktnog materijala), a udio općih troškova proizvodnje relativno je nizak. Također, istraživanjem je utvrđeno da se u proizvodnom sektoru Republike Hrvatske uglavnom koriste tradicionalnim metodama obračuna troškova koje su karakteristične za proizvodne sektore s relativnom niskom razinom automatizacije proizvodnih procesa.
The basic purpose of this article is to determine production costs structure and to identify costing methods generally used in Croatian production sector. In order to achieve this purpose, all the necessary scientifi c and research methods have been used in the article. When identifying accounting costing methods, a deductive approach has been applied with the usage of classifi cation method and generalization method. An empirical research, with the inductive approach domination is conducted for the determination purpose of produc-tion costs structure and costing methods applied in Croatian production sector. Statistical analysis of research results is provided by using relevant mathematical and statistical methods. By the conducted research the production costs structure of Croatian production sector has been determined. The research indicated that direct production costs (especially direct material costs) are dominating in the production costs structure of Croatian production sector, while the portion of indirect production costs is relatively low. Also, the research determined that traditional costing methods are mostly used in Croatian production sector. The appliance of traditional costing methods is typical for the production sectors with relatively low level of production processes automation.

THE INFLUENCE OF LEASING ON THE CROATIAN COMMODITY EXCHANGE DEFICIT
UTJECAJ LEASINGA NA DEFICIT HRVATSKE ROBNE RAZMJENE

Basic issues of this research are leasing relations and their impact on the Republic of Croatia foreign trade. It is a well-known fact that leasing is a very important strategic form of fi nancing and conquering world markets. Croatia is in recent times very interesting for foreign investors, especially if having in mind the fact that the Croatian Government, after the ownership transformation and change of economic system, chose global-liberal foreign trade as its policy, abandoning the protectionism and an import replacement strategy of the ex-state, in order to join the Euro-Atlantic Association as soon as possible. This policy, as well as the unfavorable economic and political situation in the last decade of the past century, has negatively affected the Republic of Croatia foreign trade, causing constant and almost continuously growing trade defi cit. In our opinion leasing operations contributed a lot to this situation. We shall try to verify this hypothesis in this paper.
Osnovni je cilj ovoga rada istražiti utjecaj leasinga na vanjskotrgovinsku razmjenu Republike Hrvatske. Općepoznata je činjenica da je leasing veoma važan strateški oblik financiranja i osvajanja svjetskih tržišta. Hrvatska je u posljednjim godinama postala veoma zanimljiva stranim ulagačima, a osobito ako imamo na umu da je hrvatska Vlada, nakon vlasničke transformacije i promjene ekonomskoga sustava napustila strategiju protekcionizma i supstitucije uvoza bivše države da bi što brže pristupila Euroatlantskim asocijacijama. Takva se politika zajedno s nepovoljnom ekonomskom i političkom situacijom u posljednjem desetljeću prošloga stoljeća negativno odrazila na vanjsku trgovinu Republike Hrvatske, uzrokujući konstantne i stalno rastuće trgovinske deficite. Polazište je ovoga rada tvrdnja da su takvoj situaciji uvelike doprinijeli leasing odnosi.

PERSPEKTIVE INDUSTRIJSKE PROIZVODNJE U HRVATSKOJ I INTRAINDUSTRIJSKA RAZMJENA
PERSPECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION IN CROATIA AND INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE
Ivan Teodorović
Goran Buturac
industrijska proizvodnja; tranzicija; intraindustrijska razmjena; komparativne prednosti
industrial production; transition; intra-industry trade; comparative advantages
Hrvatsko gospodarstvo u tranziciji obilježavaju procesi privatizacije, liberalizacije i deindustrijalizacije. Strukturne promjene industrijske proizvo-dnje u tijeku tranzicije morale su omogućiti pomake prema ostvarivanju viših razina dodane vrijednosti. U tome su znatno veća očekivanja bila od izravnih stranih ulaganja koja su u konačnici završila u uslužnome sektoru i bila su usmjerena na preuzimanje monopolskih i oligopolskih pozicija na tržištu. Strukturne su promjene industrijske proizvodnje u Hrvatskoj obilježene značajnim padom tekstilne industrije koja je na samome početku tranzicijskoga procesa bila najznačajnija sastavnica ukupnog izvoza. Također, pad je proizvodnje zamjetan i kod industrijskih sektora s većim sadržajem dodane vrijednosti. Usporedno s gubitkom komparativnih prednosti kod većine je industrijskih sektora došlo do pada specijalizacije u intraindustrijskoj razmjeni. Upravo se ona pokazala ključnim čimbenikom uspješnoga restrukturiranja industrijske proizvodnje kod najrazvijenijih tranzicijskih zemalja. Snažniji razvitak industrijske proizvodnje moguće je osigurati djelovanjem na ključne čimbenike proizvodnosti i konkurentnosti. To se prije svega odnosi na tržišne reforme kojima se stimuliraju investicije, razina konkurencije, sposobnost usvajanja inovacija povećanim ulaganjima u razvojna istraživanja i u ljudski kapital i na primjenu novih tehnologija. Potrebne institucionalne promjene morale bi više pratiti potrebe jačanja konkurentske sposobnosti industrijskih poduzeća na domaćem i na međunarodnome tržištu.
Croatian economy during its transition process has been characterized by privatization, liberalization and deindustrialization. During the transition process structural adjustments were expected to enable shifts towards higher value added levels of production. In this respect high expectations were from foreign direct investments. Unlike expectations they materialized in takeovers predominantly in the service sector. Structural adjustments in the manufacturing sector were mostly of a passive form and the shifts had some specifics. So, for example the textile industry being among the export leaders by the beginning of the transition process has demonstrated a dramatic downscaling both in total output and in exports. Though this could be expected, however, a signifi cant downturn of output in industrial sectors of higher value added has been registered. A fall in comparative advantages of the manufacturing sector has been registered, as well as shrinking of specialization in intra-industry trade. Growing intra-industry trade specialization has been a key factor of successful restructuring among the leading transition countries. According to those experiences a tangible development of industrial production can be secured by enabling key factors of productivity growth and increasing competitiveness to come to full effect. This is fi rst of all related to full scale market reforms, thus infl uencing investment, the level of competitiveness, the ability to implement innovations derived from increasing levels of outlays for R&D, human capital and applications of new technologies. Institutional changes should correspond with the needs for increasing competitiveness of manufacturing fi rms on the domestic and international markets.

THE IMPACT OF SITUATIONAL FACTORS ON PURCHASING OUTCOMES IN THE CROATIAN HYPERMARKET RETAILER
UTJECAJ SITUACIJSKIH ČIMBENIKA NA POTROŠNJU KUPACA U HIPERMARKETU U HRVATSKOJ

This paper applies Belk’s taxonomy (1975) to examine the impact of situational factors on shoppers’ purchasing outcomes in the Croatian hypermarket setting. It explores how store environment, social surroundings, temporal perspective, shopping task and antecedent situational dimensions infl uence the amount of money spent and number of items purchased. The model itself was tested with data collected from a consumer survey, carried out in the Croatian hypermarket setting. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, including one-way analysis of variance. Research results indicate that social surroundings, high perceived density and large-scale shopping were factors that signifi cantly contribute to higher level of purchasing outcomes. The longer a shopper stays inside the store, the more she or he spent. Shopping outcomes were shown to be the highest on Saturday and for shoppers who patronized one or two stores as compared to other days and other shopper types respectively. Contrary to expectations, no statistically signifi cant difference in purchasing outcomes was found across shopper types grouped by store atmospheric responses, travel time to store and time of the day shopping. By using this model, retailers may better predict the consumer response to situational factors, and thus can design a store strategy that will encourage particular pattern of shoppers’ behaviour.
Koristeći Belkovu klasifi kaciju (1975), ovaj rad analizira utjecaj situacijskih čimbenika na ponašanje i potrošnju kupaca u hipermarketu u Hrvatskoj. Rad analizira utjecaj fi zičkog i društvenog okruženja, vremena kupovine, zadatka u kupovini i čimbenika koji su prethodili dolasku u prodavaonicu na potrošnju i broj kupljenih proizvoda. Anketiranje potrošača provedeno je u hipermarketu velikog trgovačkog lanaca u Hrvatskoj kako bi se prikupili podaci potrebni za analizu. U testiranju modela, korištene su različite metode deskriptivne statistike, uključujući analizu varijance. Društveno okruženje, percipirana visoka gustoća kupaca i velike kupovine jesu čimbenici koji su utjecali na rast potrošnje i broja kupljenih proizvoda. Duljina vremena provedenog u prodavaonici i kupovine obavljene u subotu također su važni čimbenici koji utječu na rast potrošnje. Signifi kantna veza nije identifi cirana između grupa kupaca kod utjecaja čimbenika atmosfere, vremena koje je potrebno da bi se došlo do prodavaonice i vremena kada je kupovina obavljena. Ovaj model omogućuje maloprodavačima da preciznije predvide utjecaj situacijskih čimbenika na potrošnju i promet, i sukladno tome kreiraju maloprodajnu strategiju koja bi poticala određene oblike ponašanja kupaca unutar prodavaonice.

U uvjetima globalizacije, što karakterizira svjetske gospodarske procese na početku dvadeset prvoga stoljeća, bankarstvo je duboko zahvaćeno političkim, gospodarskim, tehnološkim i demografskim promjenama. Danas banke u industrijski razvijenim i tranzicijskim zemljama razvijaju nove proizvode i usluge uz pomoć računalnih mreža, čime su pomaknute vremenske i prostorne granice tradicionalnoga bankarstva i bitno je olakšan transfer novčanih sredstava. U ovome su radu dani prikaz čimbenika koji utječu na aktualne promjene u bankarstvu i prikaz različitih poslovnih fi lozofija na kojima se zasnivaju suvremene strategije ponude (distribucije) novih bankarskih proizvoda i usluga, koji se nazivaju samoposlužnim bankarstvom, i dane su ocjena sadašnjeg stanja i prognoza razvitka ponude samoposlužnoga bankarstva na području Republike Hrvatske. Rezultati istraživanja, navedeni u ovome radu, pokazuju da usluge samoposlužnoga bankarstva koje pruža bankarski sektor u Republici Hrvatskoj po širini asortimana ne zaostaju za onim što pruža bankarski sektor u industrijski razvijenim zemljama. I na kraju, u ovome su radu uspoređene one banke u Republici Hrvatskoj koje nude najširi asortiman proizvoda i usluga samoposlužnoga bankarstva s onima koje to još ne nude ili nude tek samo neke od usluga samoposlužnoga bankarstva.
Globalization which characterizes world economic processes at the start of the twenty first century affects banking deeply with political, economic, technological and demographic changes. Today banks in industrially developed countries and countries in transition develop new products and services through fairly easy transfer of funds. This article shows factors which infl uence current changes in the banking system and a summary of a number of business philosophies which serve as foundation for the modern strategic offers (distribution) of new banking products and services, known as self-serve banking, as well as the assessment of the current state and prognosis of future development of the range of self-serve banking in the Republic of Croatia. The findings included in this article, show that services in self-serve banking, offered by the banking sector in the Republic of Croatia, in its range does not lag behind those offered by banking sectors of industrially developed countries. Finally, this article compares those banks in the Republic of Croatia which offer the widest range of products and services of self-serve banking with those which still have no such offers or offer only some self-serve banking products.

EUROPSKE STUDIJE O EKSTERNIM TROŠKOVIMA U PROMETU
EUROPEAN STUDIES ON EXTERNAL COSTS OF TRANSPORT

external costs; external costs internationalization; GDP; compensations; taxes; multimodal fund for transport financing
U članku autor iznosi osnovne rezultate istraživanja eksternih troškova u prometu za 17 europskih zemalja (15 zemalja EU i Švicarske i Norveške) uz predložene mjere za njihovu internalizaciju. Utvrđeno je da su eksterni troškovi na razini spomenutih zemalja u godini 2000. iznosili 650 milijardi EUR, ili 7,3% bruto domaćeg proizvoda, što je respektabilna veličina za nacionalna gospodarstva (studija objavljena godine 2004.). Prethodni rezultati s istom metodologijom objavljeni su u prelimanarnoj studiji na primjeru podataka za godinu 1995. (objavljena godine 2000.). Studija napravljena na osnovi podataka za godinu 1991., zbog razlika u broju vrsta eksternih troškova, daje i drugačiji rezultat – njihov udio u BDP je 4,6% (objavljena godine 1994.). Pritom postoje varijacije rezultata unutar navedenih zemalja. Sve su te istraživačke studije o eksternim efektima, odnosno troškovima, napravili konzultantska tvrtka “Infras” iz Züricha i Institut za ekonomsku politiku i ekonomska istraživanja Sveučilišta u Karlsruheu.
The author presents the essential research results of external costs in transport for 17 European countries (15 EU countries, Switzerland and Norway) with suggested measures of their internationalization. It has been established that external costs at the level of mentioned countries amounted to 650 billion EUR in 2000, or 7,3% of the gross domestic product, what is respectable for national economies (the study published in 2004). The previous results with the same methodology were published in preliminary study based on data for 1995 (published in 2000). The study based on data for 1991, due to differ-ences in the kinds of external costs, gives also different result –their share of 4,6% in GDP (published in 1994). The variations of results within the cited countries exist. All research studies on external effects, or costs, were made by the consulting fi rm “Infras” from Zürich and the Institute for Economic Policy and Economic Researches of the Karlsruhe University.

UTJECAJ METODA VREDNOVANJA ULAGANJA U DUGOTRAJNU MATERIJALNU IMOVINU NA FINANCIJSKI I POREZNI POLOŽAJ TRGOVAČKOG DRUŠTVA PREMA MRS 40
METHODS OF VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN THE LONG-TERM MATERIAL ASSETS - ITS IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL AND TAXING POSITION OF AN ENTERPRISE ACCORDING TO MRS 40

International Accounting Standard 40; Methods of valuation of investments; Financial postion of an enterprise; Market value of investment property
Međunarodni računovodstveni standard (MRS) 40 primjenjuje se od 1. siječnja godine 2005., a odnosi se na priznavanje, mjerenje i prikazivanje onoga dijela dugotrajne materijalne imovine koji se drži s namjerom najma ili povećanja kapitala. MRS 40 definira takvu imovinu kao investicijsku imovinu koja se može računovodstveno voditi upotrebom modela fer vrijednosti ili modela troška nabave. Mjerenje investicijske imovine po fer vrijednosti podrazumijeva postojanje aktivnoga tržišta nekretnina, a to je često osnovni problem u primjeni ovog standarda. Alternativno, moguća je procjena fer vrijednosti upotrebom diskontiranih novčanih tokova od najma, ali rezultat izravno ovisi o izboru diskontne stope i o drugim parametrima izračuna. Konkretni primjeri u članku pokazuju kako primjena različitih modela ima za posljedicu različite financijske rezultate u Računu dobiti i gubitka. Autori članka smatraju da je primjena ovoga Standarda potrebna ponajprije za veće poslovne subjekte čije dionice kotiraju na financijskim tržištima.
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 40 has been applied since January 1, 2005. It refers to recognition, measurement and presentation of a particular part of the long term material asset which is held for purpose of lease or capital increase. IAS 40 defi nes this asset as an investment property that could be accounted for using the fair value model or the cost model. Fair value measurement for the investment property implies existence of an active property market, which makes the appliance of this standard more diffi cult. Alternatively, it is possible to estimate the fair value using discounted cash fl ows from lease but the result is directly infl uenced by the choice of the discounted rate and other parameters of the calculation. The article comprises certain practical examples that show how use of different models makes changes in a fi nancial result in a Profi t & Loss Account. The authors of this article suggest the appliance of this standard mostly to the large business entities with listed shares.

SOURCES OF INFLATION IN TRANSITION ECONOMY: THE CASE OF CROATIA
IZVORI INFLACIJE U TRANZICIJSKOJ EKONOMIJI: SLUČAJ HRVATSKE

inflacija; Hrvatska; SVAR metoda
The aim of this paper is to study the infl ation generation process in Croatia. Following the estimation strategies of Dibooglu and Kutan (2005.) we estimate a small open economy model, using SVAR estimation approach. The results of the estimated model imply that the infl ation in Croatia is strongly related to the terms of trade and balance of payment shocks. We contrast these results to the reestimated unrestricted VAR model, following the Payne (2002.) estimation strategy. The results of the latter also confirm that monetary shocks have relatively small infl uence on the inflation generation process in Croatia.
Cilj ovog rada je istražiti process generiranja infl acije u Hrvatskoj. Slijedeći metodologiju koju su predložili Dibooglu and Kutan (2005.), autori ocjenjuju model malog ot-vorenog gospodarstva, primjenjujući SVAR metodu. Rezultati upućuju na zaključak kako je inflacija u Hrvatskoj povezana sa šokovima uvjeta razmjene i platne bilance. Ti rezultati se zatim uspoređuju s rezultatima ponovno ocijenjenog neograničenog VAR modela, primjenjujući metodologiju koju je predložio Payne (2002.). Rezultati drugog pristupa također potvrđuju kako monetarni šokovi imaju relativno manji utjecaj na proces generiranja inflacije u Hrvatskoj.

LONG SPAN UNIT ROOT TEST OF PURCHASING POWER PARITY: THE CASE OF CROATIA
TESTIRANJE PARITETA KUPOVNE MOĆI TESTOM JEDINIČNOG KORIJENA NAD DUŽIM VREMENSKIM RAZDOBLJEM: SLUČAJ HRVATSKE

Using unit root test, hypothesis of purchasing power parity in Croatia is tested with the data spanning from 1952 to 2003. Although “the power problem” suggests that at least 75 annual observations of the real exchange rate is required to reject the null hypothesis with 50% probability, unit root test technique with only 51 annual observation for Croatia has rejected unit root hypothesis. Furthermore, using simple, autoregressive models estimated on the data, we show that univariate equations explain 20-55 percent of the in-sample variation in real exchange rates, although the degree of short-run persistence was high in certain periods. The econometric estimates imply a half-life of shocks to the real exchange rate of about 0.9 years for mark-kuna, 2.2 years for dollar-kuna and 1.2 years for lira-kuna.
U ovom radu je testirana hipoteza pariteta kupovne moći na godišnjim podacima za Hrvatsku u razdoblju od 1952. do 2003. Iako problem snage ukazuje na činjenicu da je potrebno imati niz od 75 godina kako bi se sa 50% šanse mogla odbaciti nulta hipoteza u slučaju kada je realni tečaj uistinu stacionaran, unit root test je uspio odbaciti nultu hipotezu na podacima za Hrvatsku na nizu dugom 51 godinu. Povrh toga, upotrebom jednostavnog autoregresivnog modela uspješno je objašnjeno 20 do 55% varijacija realnog tečaja u promatranom razdoblju, iako je stupanj postojanosti devijacija u nekim razdobljima bio visok. Ekonometrijske procjene su ukazale na činjenicu da pola devijacije od ravnoteže za realni tečaj kune i njemačke marke nestaje nakon 0,9 godina, za realni tečaj dolara i kune nakon 2,2 godine i za realni tečaj kune i talijanske lire 1,2 godine.

FISKALNA POLITIKA I GOSPODARSKA AKTIVNOST U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ: MODEL KOINTEGRACIJE
FISCAL POLICY AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA: A COINTEGRATION ANALYSIS

fiscal policy; cointegration; VEC and structural VEC model; forecast error variance decompositions; impulse response functions
Svrha je ovoga rada pokazati može li fi skalna politika u Republici Hrvatskoj stimulirati gospodarsku aktivnost, tj. bruto domaći proizvod. Pod fiskalnom politikom mislimo ponajprije na upravljanje proračunskim prihodima i proračunskim rashodima. Empirijsko istraživanje provedeno je korištenjem kointegracijske analize i vektorskoga modela s korekcijom odstupanja (VECM-Vector Error Correction Model). Dalje, učinjeno je modeliranje “od općeg-prema-specifičnom” (GETS, “general-to-specific”) kojim se ocjenjuje potpuni VEC model, a zatim se neznačajne varijable prema određenom kriteriju eliminiraju iz modela. U radu je dodatno testiran i strukturni VEC model (SVEC), što je uobičajena napredna ekonometrijska tehnika prilikom analiziranja djelovanja fiskalne politike u razvijenim europskim zemljama. Uz to su za oba modela učinjene dekompozicija varijanci prognostičkih pogrešaka i grafička analiza impulsnih reakcija varijabli u modelu. Dobijeni rezultati u oba modela upućuju na mogućnost da bi povećanje proračunskih prihoda utjecalo na smanjenje gospodarske aktivnosti, a povećanje proračunskih rashoda pozitivno bi utjecalo na gospodarsku aktivnost. Uz to je važnost djelovanja proračunskih prihoda mnogo veća od djelovanja proračunskih rashoda, utjecaj kojih u dugom roku slabi.
The aim of this paper is to examine whether changes of fi scal policy variables i.e. government revenues and government expenditures infl uence the real economic activity in the Republic of Croatia. Long-run relationship between fi scal policy variables and gross domestic product is examined by cointegration analysis using “general-to-specific” approach. The impact of fi scal variables was analyzed on the basis of a forecast error variance decompositions and impulse response functions. The results indicate that an increase in government revenues will have a negative impact on real economic activity while government expenditures will have a positive impact on real economic activity only in the starting period, but in the long run are almost neutral.

SEGMENTACIJA KUPACA U SUPERMARKETIMA NA OSNOVI NJIHOVA ZADOVOLJSTVA PRODAJNIM OSOBLJEM I IZGLEDOM PRODAVAONICE: MULTIVARIJANTNA ANALIZA

Cilj je ovoga istraživanja izdvojiti, koristeći se multivarijantnim tehnikama, a na osnovi stavova potrošača o prodajnom osoblju i o izgledu prodavaonice, određene grupe čimbenika i utvrditi mogu li one poslužiti kao osnova za segmentiranje tržišta. U uzorak je izabrano 15 supermarketa i u svakome je anketirano po 25 potrošača. Polazeći od problematike i ciljeva istraživanja, postavljene su tri hipoteze. Faktorskom analizom izdvojena su tri faktora (funkcionalni čimbenici, čimbenici atmosfere i osobni čimbenici), kojima su potom koristilo kao osnovnim varijablama segmentacije. Klaster analizom izdvojena su tri segmenta, nazvana: zadovoljni funkcionalnim aspektom, prvenstveno zadovoljni atmosferom i osobnim čimbenicima i oso bito nezadovoljni funkcionalnim čimbenicima. Rezultati istraživanja potvr dili su polazne hipoteze i ukazali na to da maloprodavači moraju nešto mijenjati ako i dalje žele biti konkurentni u opsluživanju svih triju segmenata.
The aim of this study - based on the shoppers’ attitudes towards sales staff and store design - is to identify by using multivariance techniques some factors that may be used as a basis for market segmentation. Empirical research has been carried out on the sample of 15 supermarkets. In each store, 25 consumers were interviewed. Keeping in mind the issues and goals of the research, three hypotheses were formed. Three factors were identified by using the factor analysis (functional factors, atmospheric factors and personal factors), which were subsequently used as basic segmentation variables. Cluster analysis singled out three segments: satisfied with functional aspect, satisfied primarily with atmospherics and personal factors, and particularly dissatisfi ed with functional factors. To describe them better, demographic and behavioral variables were employed, as well as indicator of shoppers’ attitudes towards purchasing. The research results confi rmed the starting hypotheses and showed that retailers have to make changes if they want to be competitive in serving all the three segments. For that purpose those retailers were provided with suitable suggestions.

OBRISI NOVOG, SOCIJALNO PRAVEDNOG, EKONOMSKI UČINKOVITOG I EKOLOŠKI ODRŽIVOG MODELA
THE OUTLINES OF THE NEW, SOCIALLY JUST, ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT AND ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE MODEL
Milan Mesarić
informatička revolucija; tržišni fundamentalizam; neoliberalna globalizacija; postindustrijska ekonomija; poslovna etika; “moralni kapitalizam”; socijalno-ekološki-tržišni model; “slobodarski socijalizam”
Informatics revolution; Market fundamentalism; Neoliberal globalization; Post industrial economy; Business ethics; “Moral capitalism”; Social-ecological market model; “Liberal socialism”
Autor razmatra ideje većeg broja svjetski poznatih ekonomista, sociologa i filozofa o rađanju novog društveno-ekonomskog i civilizacijskog modela, koje je na prijelazu milenija već otpočelo. Naime, postojeći model neoliberalnog, globaliziranog kapitalizma je po mišljenju autora dugoročno neodrživ, i to prvenstveno zbog sve nepodnošljivije socijalne polarizacije, a potom zbog nezaustavljivog uništavanja ekološke ravnoteže. Osim toga nova tehnološka paradigma oličena u informatičkoj revoluciji potiče korjenite promjene u obrascima ekonomskog, političkog i društvenog života, namećući oblikovanje nove ekonomske, društvene i ideološke paradigme, odnosno oblikovanje novog društveno-ekonomskog modela. Postoje mnoge ideje, vizije, scenariji i nazivi tog novog civilizacijskog modela za kojim se traga: “socijalno-ekološko-tržišni model” (Hans Kueng); “moralni kapitalizam” (Stephen Young); “spiritualni kapitalizam” (Patricia Aburdene); “otvoreno društvo” (George Soros); “informatičko, umreženo društvo” (Manuel Castells); “transnacionalno, kozmopolitsko, postmoderno društvo” (Ulrich Beck); “treći put” (Antony Giddens); “slobodarski socijalizam” (Noam Chomsky); “kiberkomunizam” (Adolf Dragičević). Iako novo socijalno ekonomsko uređenje razni autori zamišljaju na različite načine, svim tim različitim vizijama zajednička su ili slična temeljna humana i etička načela: društvena pravda, ljudska solidarnost i suosjećanje, tolerancija, dignitet i sloboda ljudskog bića, ravnoteža individualnih i društvenih interesa, etnički, kulturni i religijski pluralizam, slobodni razvoj čovjekovih kreativnih potencijala. Koja će varijanta prevladati u pojedinim zemljama ovisit će o civilizacijskoj tradiciji i o drugim lokalnim specifi čnostima. Postojeći model neoliberalne ekonomije i civilizacije nalazi se u očiglednoj krizi, a rasplet te krize bit će u najvećoj mjeri uvjetovan sazrijevanjem kolektivne svijesti o nužnosti društvenih promjena i pretvaranjem te svijesti u masovni pokret za oblikovanje novog pravednijeg u humanijeg društva.
The author considers the ideas of a number of wordly known economists, sociolo-gists and philosophers about the emergence of new socio-economic and civilizational model, which has already started at the turn to the new millenium. As a matter of fact, the existing model of neoliberal, globalized capitalism is to the author’s opinion unsus-tainable over the long period, primarily due to intolerable social polarization and later on because of uncontainable destruction of ecological balance. Besides, the new technologi-cal paradigm personifi ed in informatics revolution causes profound changes in forms of economic, political and social life, imposing the formation of new economic, social and ideological paradigm, or the formation of new socio-economic model. There are many ideas, visions, scenarios and the names for this new civilizational model which is looked for: “socio-ecological-market model” (Hans Kueng); “moral capitalism” (Stephen Young); “spiritual capitalism” (Patricia Aburdene); “open society” (George Soros); “informational society” (Manuel Castells); “transnational, cosmopolitan, postmodern society” (Ulrich Beck); “third way” (Antony Giddens); “liberal socialism” (Noam Chomsky); “cybercom-munism” (Adolf Dragičević). Although various authors consider the new socio-economic system in different ways, all these different visions have in common similar fundamental human or ethical principles: social justice, human solidarity and compassion, tolerance, dignity and freedom of human being, equilibrium of individual and social interests, ethnical, cultural and religious pluralism, free development of human creative potentials. Which model will prevail in particular countries will depend upon civilizational tradition and other local specific conditions. The existing model of neoliberal economy and civilization is in evident crisis, and its resolution will be mostly conditioned by maturing of collective consciousness about the necessity of social changes and transformation of this consciousness in massive movement for formation of the new just, human and functional society.

INTRAINDUSTRIJSKA TRGOVINA HRVATSKE – EMPIRIJSKA I METODOLOŠKA ANALIZA
CROATIAN INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE – EMPIRICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Dražen Derado

intra-industry trade; new trade theory; regional economic integration; EU; transition countries
Suvremeni procesi globalizacije i ekonomskog integriranja, koji se ostvaruju u uvjetima nesavršene konkurencije i dinamičnog tehničkog napretka, polaze od sličnosti gospodarskih struktura kao preduvjeta za ostvarivanje intenzivnih trgovinskih tijekova. Uvažavajući pretpostavke nove teorije trgovine, ali i činjenicu da su devedesetet godine 20. stoljeća obilježile temeljite ekonomske promjene i reforme u zemljama srednje i istočne Europe, autor se u ovome radu bavi mjerenjem intraindustrijske trgovine u Hrvatskoj u usporedbi s ostalim tranzicijskim zemljama. Analiza pokazuje da se putem intraindustrijskom trgovinom još uvijek ostvaruje manji dio ukupnih trgovinskih tijekova Hrvatske, tj. da u međunarodnoj razmjeni dominira međusektorska specijalizacija. Uz takav uzorak specijalizacije i dominaciju proizvoda niže tehnološke intenzivnosti teško je u kratkom do srednjem roku očekivati značajnije pozitivne učinke od uključivanja na svjetsko tržište i sudjelovanja u ekonomskim integracijama.
In view of the ongoing process of globalization and increasing economic integra-tion, as well as imperfect competition and dynamic technological development, the issue of similarities in economic structures becomes crucial factor determining trade intensity among countries. Based on the new trade theory and regarding fundamental economic changes which took place in Central and East European countries during the 90s, the paper deals with Croatian intra-industry trade in comparison to other transition countries. The analysis shows that unlike new member countries of the EU, the smaller part of Croatian trade is of intra-industry type, i.e. there still dominates specialization according to tradi-tional factor proportions theory. With such specialization pattern and a signifi cant share of commodities of low level of technical sophistication it is diffi cult to expect signifi cant positive effects of Croatian trade integration both on the world market and within regional economic integration in short-to-medium run.

business problems; bank debtors; multiple discriminate analysis; logit model; multidimensional scaling method
Rad predstavlja rezultate istraživanja klasifi kacije poslovnih problema trgovačkih društava dužnika banke. Istraživanje je provedeno na polaznom uzorku veličine 168 jedinica – dužnika banke, a korišteno je 15 omjera do-bijenih iz osnovnih fi nancijskih izvješća. U radu su primijenjeni višestruka diskriminacijska analiza, logit model i metoda višedimenzionalnih skala za razvrstavanje trgovačkih društava prema urednosti izmirenja obveza prema banci. Budući da diskriminacijskom analizom i logit modelom nije bilo moguće uspješno razlikovati dobra i srednja društva, polazni je uzorak sužen na 141 jedinicu, pa su ga činila trgovačka društva grupirana na dobra i loša. Svi kreirani modeli pokazali su visok stupanj pouzdanosti predviđanja poslovnih problema društava u poslovnim odnosima s bankom, što je potvrđeno i na kontrolnom uzorku. Istraživanje je također pokazalo da se i metodom višedimenzionalnih skala može uspješno koristiti pri grupiranju društava prema razini poslovnih problema uz korištenje odgovarajućih financijskih omjera.
The paper presents research of models for classification of bank debtor distress based on ratios calculated from official financial statements. Basic sample consists of 168 company’s debtors of middle size bank, and 15 financial ratios were used. In research multiple discriminate analyses, logit model and multidimensional scaling method was used for classifying companies based on orderliness in payment of their liabilities. Since discriminate analysis and logit model could not successfully discriminate “good” and “medium” companies, basic sample was appropriately limited to 141 companies classified as “good” or “dubious”. All estimated models have high rate of reliability in prediction of orderliness in payment of liabilities that can express the degree of company’s efficiency or distress. Reliability of all created models was confirmed on control sample as well. This research also demonstrated that multidimensional scaling methods can be successfully used for classifying of companies based on magnitude of their business problems using appropriate financial ratios.

family business; projects of family business; financing (granting loans) for family business; empiric research into family business
U radu su predočeni nalazi četverogodišnjega istraživanja o nekim aspektima hrvatskoga obiteljskoga poduzetništva, kao što su: spolna struktura nositelja projekata obiteljskog poduzetništva, krediti i zaposlenici prema spolnoj strukturi nositelja projekata, formalno obrazovanje nositelja projekata, pravni oblici projekata obiteljskog poduzetništva, oblici jamstava traženih kredita i područja djelatnosti projekata obiteljskog poduzetništva. Istraživanje je provedeno na cjelokupnoj populaciji reflektanata na poticajne kredite Hrvatske banke za obnovu i razvitak iz Programa kreditiranja za poticanje zasnivanja maloga poduzetništva. O ciljnoj populaciji i uzorkovanju potrebno je napomenuti da je u četiri godine obuke bilo ponuđeno ukupno 1.699 projekata malog poduzetništva iz navedenoga Programa. Projekti obiteljskog poduzetništva sudjelovali su u tome sa 39,67% (674 projekta), u tome su žene (nositeljice projekata) ponudile ukupno 483 projekta, od kojih je bilo 195 (ili 40,37%) projekata obiteljskog poduzetništva, a muškarci su (nositelji projekata) ponudili ukupno 1.216 projekata, od kojih je bilo 479 (ili 39,39%) projekata obiteljskog poduzetništva.
The work contains the fi ndings after four year long research in some aspects of Croatian family business i.e. the family business principal`s sex structure, employees according to the principal`s sex structure, loans, the principal`s formal education, family business legal forms, forms of collateral for loans applied for, and the range of activities covered by family business projects.The research has been made on the whole population of prospective takers of promotive loans offered by the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development from their Program of fi nancing the promotion of small business establishment. As regards the target population and sampling, it is important to note that during the four years of education a total of 1,699 small business projects were offered from the mentioned Program. 39.67% of it were family business projects (674 projects); women as project principals offered a total of 483 projects, 195 (40.37 %) of which were family business projects, whereas men as project principals offered a total of 1,216 projects, 479 (39.39 %) of which were family business projects.

INSTITUCIONALNI I EVOLUCIJSKI ASPEKTI PRIVATIZACIJE U SREDNJOJ I ISTOČNOJ EUROPI
INSTITUTIONAL AND EVOLUTIONAL ASPECTS OF PRIVATIZATION IN MIDDLE AND EASTERN EUROPE

privatization; theory of institutional change; path-dependency
Što utječe na koncepciju privatizacijske strategije i zašto se izabire određena metoda? Uz pomoć teorije institucionalnih promjena može se pokazati da privatizacijske strategije ne moraju slijediti ekonomske kalkulacije efikasnosti, nego izbor određene privatizacijske strategije pokazuje značajke ovisnosti o prijeđenom putu. To znači da određene strukture i institucije staroga sustava mogu suodređivati dalji slijed privatizacije i postići suboptimalna rješenja.
What infl uences the concept of the privatization strategy and why is a peculiar method being chosen? Is the status quo the best ever possible arrangement? With the help of the theory of institutional change one can explain that privatization strategies do not necessarily consider economic effi ciency, but the choice of a privatization method may show signs of path-dependency and thus create economically suboptimal solution.

The article discusses the possibilities for standardizing the marketing programs of Slovenian firms which can open a door to more intensive process of internationalization of firms. The study found that environmental factors, such as political and economic stability, significantly affected the possibilities for standardization enabling firms to improve sales margins. The strategic elements for standardization of the marketing mix, consisting of price, distribution, and promotion, are also substantially signifi cant factor of cost reduction and profit increase. Strategic control over distribution and promotion exercised by Slovenian managers was identified as constraints to standardization. In addition, the ability of firms to standardize the product and market themselves emerged as a separate factor of standardization.
U članku su opisane mogućnosti standardizacije marketinškog programa slovenskih tvrtki koja omogućuje intenzivniji proces internacionalizacije. Studija otkriva da faktori okruženja, kao što su politička i ekonomska stabilnost, značajno utječu na mogućnosti standardizacije. Pretpostavka je da standardizacija osigurava poboljšanje prodajnih margi-na. Strateški elementi standardizacije marketing mixa, koji se sastoji od proizvoda, cijene, promocije i distribucije, značajan su faktor smanjenja troškova i povećanja zarade trvrtki. Strateška kontrola distribucije i promocije ograničujući je faktor standardizacije za slovenske tvrtke. Sposobnost standardizacije proizvoda i tržišta pojavljuje se kao odvojeni faktor standardizacije.

OD TOTALNOG DIFERENCIJALA DO MAKSIMALNOG EKONOMSKOG PROFITA

U članku se nastoji na najsažetiji način i što je moguće jednostavnije objasniti optimizacija funkcije bez ograničenja. Radi toga se prvo objašnjava pojam kritične točke, točke u kojoj je totalni diferencijal funkcije jednak nuli i u kojoj vrijednost funkcije časomično niti raste niti pada. Nakon utvrđiva-nja stacionarne točke, predznak vrijednosti totalnog diferencijala drugoga reda, koji se promatra kao kvadratna forma, u kritičnoj točki odlučuje ima li funkcija u toj točki relativnu maksimalnu ili relativnu minimalnu vrijednost. Ako je Hesseova matrica koefi cijenata tako zamišljene kvadratne forme u kritičnoj točki negativno definitna, tada je totalni diferencijal drugoga reda u toj točki manji od nule i funkcija u kritičnoj točki ima relativnu maksimalnu vrijednost, a ako je ta matrica pozitivno defi nitna, onda funkcija u kritičnoj točki ima relativnu minimalnu vrijednost. Posebna je pozornost posvećena objašnjenju da je spomenuta matrica negativno definitna kada su vrijednosti njezinih glavnih minora neparnoga reda manje od nule i vrijednosti glavnih minora parnoga reda veće od nule i da je ona pozitivno definitna kada su vrijednosti svih njezinih glavnih minora veće od nule. Primjena se optimizacije funkcije bez ograničenja ilustrira na dva modela ekonomskog profita: na modelu koji se zasniva na pretpostavci da je poznata funkcija minimalnih ukupnih ekonomskih troškova proizvodnje i na modelu koji se zasniva na pretpostavci da je poznata funkcija proizvodnje. U prvom se modelu donosi odluka o kritičnoj količini proizvodnje koja maksimizira ekonomski profit, a u drugom odluka o kritičnim količinama faktora proizvodnje koje maksimiziraju ekonomski profit. Dokazuje se da optimizacija tako formuliranih modela ekonomskog profita dovodi do jednakog maksimalnog ekonomskog profita.
The intention of this article is to explain in the most concise and simple way the optimization of the unconstrained function. This paper thus first explains the critical point term, the point in which the total differential of the function is equal to zero and in which the value of the function momentarily neither grows nor falls. After establishing the stationary point, sign of the second order differential, which takes the quadratic form, determines whether the function in the critical point has relative maximal or relative minimal value. If the Hessian matrix of such envisioned quadratic form in critical point is negative definite, then total second order differential in this point is less than zero and the function in the critical point has relative maximal value, and if that matrix is positive definite, then the function in critical point has relative minimal value. Special attention is given to the clarification that the matrix in question is negative defi nite when the values of its leading principal minors of odd order are less than zero and values of leading principal minors of even order are greater than zero, while the matrix is positively defi nite when values of all of the leading principal minors are greater than zero. Unconstrained function optimization is applied to two economic profit models, on the model that is built on the assumption that the function of total minimal economic costs is known and on the model built on the assumption that the production function is known. In the former model the decision about critical production quantity that maximizes economic profit is being made, while in the latter model the decision about critical quantity of factors of production which maximize economic profit is being made. In the paper we prove that optimization of thus formulated models of economic profit lead to equal maximal economic.

RAZVOJNE TENDENCIJE I STRUKTURNE PROMJENEU HRVATSKOJ TRGOVINI NA MALO
DEVELOPMENT TENDENCIES AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE CROATIAN RETAIL TRADE
Zdenko Segetlija
trgovina na malo; maloprodajni format (oblik); vertikalna integracija; Republika Hrvatska
retail trade; retail format; vertical integration; the Republic of Croatia
U radu je dan pregled razvojnih tendencija u hrvatskoj trgovini na malo. Autor pokušava ustanoviti strukturne promjene trgovinskih poduzeća u smislu: promjena formata poslovnih jedinica (“pogona”), razvitka vertikalne integracije trgovine na veliko i trgovine na malo, i razvitka koncentracije u samoj trgovini na malo (broj, veličina i značenje maloprodajnih poduzeća i maloprodajnih poslovnih jedinica). Osim toga, pokušava ukazati na moguće smjerove djelovanja u smislu daljeg povezivanja trgovine na malo i proizvodnje i povezano s time razvijanje određenih novih formata (oblika) trgovine na malo.
In this paper, the author reviews the development tendencies in the Croatian retail trade. The author also identifies structural changes of the trading companies in the sense of: operating units format changes (“facilities”), development of the wholesale and retail trade vertical integration, as well as the development of the concentration processes in the retail trade itself (regarding the number, size and importance of retail companies and retail operating units). Additionally, the author points at some possible directions of further development of the connections between the retail trade and the production. In this context, he suggests the development of particular new retail trade formats.

UČINCI PROCJENE DUGOTRAJNE MATERIJALNE IMOVINE I PROMJENA VRIJEDNOSTI ISKAZANIH U FINANCIJSKIM IZVJEŠĆIMA
EFFECTS OF ASSESING LONG-TERM TANGIBLE ASSETS AND CHANGE OF VALUES REPORTED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

dugotrajna materijalna imovina; nadoknadiva vrijednost; metode procjene
long-term tangible assets; irretrievable value; assessment methods
Primjenom različitih metoda procjene dugotrajne materijalne imovine moguće je utjecati na iskazani poslovni rezultat poduzeća i na vrijednost imovine za vlasnika. Primjena različitih metoda procjene ima i povratni učinak na promjenu novčanog tijeka kroz utjecaj na odljev ekonomskih koristi iz poduzeća. Za procjenu dugotrajne materijalne imovine u financijskim izvješćima primjenjuje se koncept ekonomske vrijednosti imovine temeljen na procjeni rizika i procjeni budućih novčanih tijekova. Posebna važnost u procjeni pripada «vrijednosti za vlasnika» što u suštini znači kombinaciju standardnih metoda procjene imovine i primjenu one metode koja je u konkretnim uvjetima najprimjerenija potrebama vlasnika. Menadžment svojim izborom vremena usklađivanja knjigovodstvene vrijednosti dugotrajne materijalne imovine s nadoknadivom vrijednošću može izravno utjecati na tijek ekonomske koristi, a time i na iskazanu učinkovitost poslovanja.
By applying various methods in assessing long-term tangible assets it is possible to affect the company's declared business result and the owner's asset value. Application of different methods of valuation also makes an impact on the change of cash-flow infl uencing the outfl ow of economic gain from the company.To assess long-term tangible assets in fi nancial statements the concept of asset economic value is applied based on assessing risks and future cash-flows. Assessment of cash-flows and the choice of discount rate which implies the assessed risk makes the assessment subjective which generates different cash-flows also correlated with ability of the management. By the right timing in adjusting the value of long-term tangible assets with irretrievable value the management can make a direct impact on the flow of economic gain and so also on business effectiveness.

EKONOMSKA DEMOKRACIJA HRVATSKOG?GOSPODARSTVA
ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY OF CROATIAN ECONOMY

Rad predstavlja kompozit teoretske razrade pojma demokracija uz ispitivanje iste u okvirima domaće društveno-ekonomske situacije. Sastoji se iz tri dijela. U prvom dijelu teoretski se istražuje bit pojma demokracije te uviđa potreba uvođenja općeg pojma pravednosti i principa pravedne raspodjele za dublju analizu. U aplikacijskom smislu to znači da se analizi demokracije (u njezinom političkom, socijalnom i ekonomskom dijelu) treba prilaziti analizom društveno-ekonomske situacije u kontekstu ostvarenih ljudskih prava i kulturalnih obrazaca, čijim se posredstvom tada spoznaje ostvarenje principa pravednosti i demokratičnosti. Tako se s uočenim pozitivnostima i negativnostima u drugom dijelu, te mogućim otklonom negativnosti i vizijom tranzicije na ekonomsku demokraciju u trećem zadnjem dijelu, istražuje problematika ekonomske demokracije domaćeg miljea.
This study represents a theoretical analysis of the democracy concept and its examination within a domicile socio-economic situation. It consists of three parts. The first part theoretically investigates the essence of the democracy concept and realizes the need of introduction of the concept of general justice and the principle of equitable distribution for deeper analysis. In application sense this means that the democracy analysis (in its political, social and economic part) should be approached by means of the analysis of the socio-economic situation in the context of realized human rights and cultural forms through mediation of which we can comprehend the realized principle of justice and democracy. Thus, with espied positiveness and negativeness in the second part, and possible decline of the negativeness and the vision of transition on economic democracy, the third final part investigates the problem of
economic democracy of domicile milieu.

KONCEPCIJOM CJELOŽIVOTNOG OBRAZOVANJA DO VEĆE KONKURENTNOSTI HRVATSKE
BY LIFELONG LEARNING CONCEPTION TO HIGHER COMPETITIVENESS
Diana Plantić
koncepcija cjeloživotnog obrazovanja; kvaliteta obrazovanja; konkurentnost
lifelong learning conception; quality of education; competitiveness
Polazeći od pretpostavke da strateški razvitak i konkurentnost pojedine države ovise o kvaliteti njezinih, ponajprije ljudskih resursa, neupitno je sagledati važnost hrvatskog obrazovnog sustava i potrebnih ulaganja u unapređenje kvalitete obrazovanja, i to kroz prizmu svih njegovih oblika i strukturnih elemenata. Pritom se ne smiju zanemariti i neformalni obrazovni koncepti. Sve popularnije cjeloživotno obrazovanje (lifelong learning, engl.) novija je razvojna orijentaciju koja, gledano dugoročno, osigurava praćenje suvremenih tržišnih trendova. Današnja turbulentnost globalnog poslovnog okruženja uzrok je bezuvjetnog prihvaćanja filozofije kontinuiranog obrazovanja u tijeku cijeloga života, ne samo u općem kontekstu društva, već svake organizacije i pojedinca. Hrvatski sustav cjeloživotnog obrazovanja u velikoj mjeri zaostaje za visokorazvijenim zemljama. Današnja skromna ulaganja u obrazovanje u Hrvatskoj i neučinkovitost njezina obrazovnoga sustava značajna su prepreka budućem jačanju konkurentskog položaja hrvatskih poslovnih subjekata, ali i hrvatskoga gospodarstva u cjelosti.
Assuming that strategic development and competitiveness of a state depend on the quality of primarily its human resources, it is unquestionable that the importance of Croatian educational system and the necessary investments in education quality improvement have to be perceived through the prism of all its forms and structural elements. At the same time informal educational concepts should also be taken into consideration. The more and more popular lifelong learning presents a new development orientation which ensures long-term monitoring of modern market trends. Today’s turbulence of global business environment has caused the unconditional acceptance of a continuous educational philosophy for life-time, considered not only in the general context of a society, but also of each organisation and individual. Croatian system of lifelong learning considerably lags behind highly developed countries. Today’s modest investments in Croatian education and ineffectiveness of its educational system present a significant obstacle to the future strengthening of Croatian business subject competitiveness as well as the competitiveness of the entire Croatian economy.

DEMOGRAFSKA TRANZICIJA, PROMJENE U STRUKTURI TRŽIŠTA RADA I KRIZA MIROVINSKOG SUSTAVA
DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION, CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF LABOUR MARKET AND THE PENSION SYSTEM CRISIS
Ante Škember
mirovinski sustav; tržište rada; demografska tranzicija
U nekoliko posljednjih godina mnoge države svijeta započinju mjere adaptacije mirovinskih sustava i točine u bitno drugačijim uvjetima od onih koji su postojali u vrijeme njihova osnivanja. Usprkos veoma velikim razlikama koje obilježavaju nacionalne sustave, ipak je moguće naći neka njihova zajednička obilježja. S povijesnoga stajališta, opći su uvjeti uspostavljanja tih sustava bili slični, osobito u razdoblju njihova uvođenja i u globalnom okviru u kojem su se razvijali. O budućnosti javnih mirovinskih sustava raspravlja se već petnaestak godina. Rasprave su dosad bile usredotočene na tri glavna problema:
- zabrinutost zbog demografskih perspektiva
- ideja da se mirovinskim resursima promjenom načina financiranja može favorizirati gospodarski rast
- nastojanje da se smanji sudjelovanje države u financiranju mirovina i da se zaustavi rast obveznih doprinosa (porezi i socijalne kotizacije).
Države, kad se radi o mirovinama, danas ipak nisu u situaciji da ukinu postojeće mirovinske sustave. Prije se radi o adaptaciji javnih mirovinskih sustava traženjem novih kompromisa i o redefiniranju uloge različitih uključenih sudionika. Taj se posao upravo obavlja u različitim zemljama. On poprima različite forme: rasprave, razmišljanje, suprotstavljanje interesa, pregovaranje, eventualno konflikt. Kroz to vrludanje, karakteristično za proces odlučivanja u suvremenim demokracijama, traži se nova ravnoteža između različitih konstitutivnih elemenata nacionalnih mirovinskih sustava. Izbor koji se obavlja očigledno je različit od jedne do druge zemlje, što ovisi o važećim mirovinskim sustavima koji vrijede u tim zemljama, i izabrane će opcije u velikoj mjeri biti obilježene nacionalnim specifičnostima. No, i pored svih tih razlika, svuda postoji ista bitna dimenzija europskoga modela društva: unutarnja sposobnost da se ostvari kolektivna sigurnost i da se svima osigura pristojan prihod nakon prestanka aktivnosti.
In the recent years a lot of countries have been adapting their pension systems in quite different circumstances compared to the circumstances in the beginning. In spite of the great differences, all pension systems have some common features. From the historical point of view and considering the period and global frame of their development, these systems began in similar conditions. Discussions on the future pension systems development have lasted for more than fifteen years. Discussions were focused on three main aspects:
- Concerns on demographic changes
- Ideas that system financing changes may favour economic growth
- Trying to reduce the role of the state in pension expenses financing and to slow down contribution rate and state subsidies growth.
States are not in the position to liquidate their pension systems. It is more the question of the adaptation of public pension systems through researching new compromises and redefining the role of different actors. Those adaptations are in progress in various countries and take different forms – discussions, confrontations of interests, negotiations, and in some cases conflicts. These processes, common in decision-making in modern democracies, are aimed to achieve new balance in pension systems. Choices differ from country to country and depend on their present pension system. Despite these differences, the same important aspect is common: internal capability to achieve collective security and to secure decent income in retirement.

TRANZICIJA, STABILIZACIJA I EKONOMSKI RAST: ISKUSTVO SLOVENIJE
TRANSITION, STABILIZATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: SLOVENIA’S EXPERIENCE
Davorin Kračun
tranzicija; gradualizam; stabilizacija; Slovenija
transition; gradualism; stabilization; Slovenia
Za Sloveniju možemo konstatirati da je njezina tranzicija odstupala od prevladavajućih uzoraka postavljenih na početku istočnoeuropskih tranzicija, u dvije bitne karakteristike: prvo, opći odnos prema reformi bio je prilično konzervativan i čitav je proces imao više elemenata postupnosti, nego šok terapije. Drugo, Slovenija je inflaciju tolerirala u znatno većoj mjeri nego što je to bilo prihvatljivo za druge pristupnice EU, ali oba odstupanja imaju svoje razloge. Odlučujuće razdoblje u kojem su bile postavljene osnove kasnijeg trajnog ekonomskog rasta, bilo je između 1991. i 1994. U tome su razdoblju bile započete ključne reforme, a uspio je i preokret iz recesije u rast, uz istovremeno umjereno sniženje inflacije. Redoslijed monetarne reforme, stabilizacije i liberalizacije uvoza ostvario je povoljne uvjete za sniženje inflacije i za gospodarski oporavak. Sve do svršetka devedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća neki prioriteti, kao što su gospodarski rast, smanjivanje nezaposlenosti i održavanje izvozne konkurentnosti, bili su rangirani kao značajniji od sniženja inflacije. Tek je neposredno pred ulazak u EU i ERM2 bilo potrebno sniženje inflacije postaviti na prvo mjesto ekonomsko političkih ciljeva.
There are two important areas where Slovenian transition deviated from the patterns that had been developed at the beginning of East European transition. On one hand, the general approach to reforms was rather conservative and had more elements of gradualism than shock therapy. On the other hand, Slovenia tolerated inflation to a higher extent than this was acceptable for other EU accession countries. But both deviations had their reasons. A decisive period in which the foundations of later economic growth were set was during 1991-94. During this period crucial reforms started and the turn from recession into growth succeeded with a simultaneous decrease of infl ation to moderate level. The sequence of monetary reform and stabilization followed by import liberalization created favorable conditions for inflation decrease and economic growth. Till the end of nineteen nineties economic policy pursued some other priorities than fighting inflation at any price. Economic growth, decreasing unemployment and the maintenance of export competitiveness were among those ranked highest. As late as a couple of years before entering the EU and ERM2 disinflation had to be positioned as the first of targets.

PRILJEV INOZEMNOG KAPITALA - UTJECAJ NA NACIONALNU ŠTEDNJU, DOMAĆE INVESTICIJE I BILANCU PLAĆANJA TRANZICIJSKIH ZEMALJA SREDNJE I ISTOČNE EUROPE
FOREIGN CAPITAL INFLOW - THE EFFECTS ON NATIONAL SAVINGS, DOMESTIC INVESTMENTS AND BALANCE OF PAYMENTS OF COUNTRIES IN TRANSITION IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE

priljev inozemnog kapitala; nacionalna štednja; domaće investicije
foreign capital inflow; national savings; domestic investments
U radu se analiziraju učinci bruto priljeva inozemnog kapitala na domaće investicije i na nacionalnu štednju. Hipoteza je rada da priljev inozemnoga kapitala u tranzicijskim zemljama, u prosjeku, pozitivno utječe na domaće investicije, ali ne i na stopu nacionalne štednje. Primijenjena je metoda analize panel podataka (11 tranzicijskih zemalja Srednje i Istočne Europe u desetogodišnjem razdoblju) s uporabom fi ksnih efekata. Priljev inozemnoga kapitala u tranzicijske zemlje stvarao je efekt poticanja (“crowding-in ef-fect”) domaćih investicija. Najjaču i statistički najznačajniju vezu imala je varijabla inozemnih kredita. FDI su se također pokazale signifikantnima u objašnjavanju kretanja domaće investicijske aktivnosti tranzicijskih zemalja, no slabijeg su intenziteta i značajnosti. Priljev portfolio investicija ne utječe na domaće investicije. Za razliku od utjecaja na investicije, inozemni kapital i njegove pojedine komponente nisu se pokazale značajnima u objašnjavanju kretanja nacionalne štednje tranzicijskih zemalja, što implicira da nacionalna i inozemna štednja nisu supstituti. Stoga bi ograničivanje inozemnog zaduživanja utjecalo na smanjenje domaćih investicija, ali ne i na povećanje nacionalne štednje.
This paper analyses the effects of the gross foreign capital infl ows on the national savings and domestic investments. The hypothesis put forward is that the foreign capital infl ows into transition countries increase, on average, the levels of national investments but not the national savings levels. The panel data analysis with so called fixed effects method has been applied to 11 transition countries (CEEC) over a ten-year period. The dependant variables are the national investments and savings. Foreign capital infl ows into transition countries have had a positive “crowding-in effect” on the national investment. The strongest and statistically most signifi cant correlation has been found for the other foreign investment variable (credits). The FDI have also been shown as signifi cant although with weaker correlation. Portfolio investment inflows have no significant influence on national investments. As opposed to the investment effects, total foreign capital inflow and its individual components turned out to be insignifi cant in explaining the national savings in transition economies. This result implies that national and foreign savings are not substitutes in transition countries. Therefore, limiting the access to foreign fi nancing would decrease national investments without increasing the level of national savings.

PROMETNI KORIDORI BALTIK-JADRAN- KONCEPCIJSKE POSTAVKE ZA OPTIMIZACIJU PROMETNE MREŽE
TRAFFIC CORRIDORS BALTIK-ADRIATICCONCEPTUAL THESES FOR THE TRAFFIC NET OPTIMIZATION
Josip Božičević

koridor; Baltik-Jadran; prometno povezivanje; transportna mreža
corridor; Baltic-Adriatic; traffic linking; transport net
Prometno je povezivanje ovim koridorima iznimno povoljno za sve pri-jevoze kojima je cilj putovanje područjem Indijskog oceana i prolaz Sueskim kanalom. Tako je primjerice trajanje kombiniranog prijevoza roba (željeznica, cesta, brod) izravnim nizom Baltik-Jadran kraće za 5-7 dana od putovanja iz područja Baltika, sjeverozapadne i srednje Europe (polazište u lukama na Baltičkom i Sjevernom moru) do Indijskog oceana, kada se koristi dužim putem brodom oko Afrike ili prijevozom kroz Sueski kanal. Uz dodatni uvjet razvitka i racionalnog funkcioniranja lučke i terminalne logistike multimodalnim koridorom Baltik-Jadran skraćuje se prijevozni put za nekoliko tisuća nautičkih milja. Prijedlog poboljšanja prometnoga povezivanja zasniva se na opciji kori-štenja zemljopisno najkraće i najpovoljnije kopnene veze između Jadranskoga i Baltičkoga mora zbog njihove duboke usječenosti u europski kontinent.
Trasiranje izravnog multimodalnog koridora Baltik-Jadran prilog je optimizaciji buduće sveeuropske prometne mreže.
The traffic linking towards corridors is extraordinarily favourable for all transports aimed to travelling across the Indian Ocean and passage through the Suez Canal. Thus for example the duration of combined commodity transport (railway, road, ship) by direct line Baltik-Adriatic is for 5-7 days shorter than the journey from Baltik, North-West and Central Europe (the starting points in the harbours of the Baltic and North Sea) to the In-dian Ocean, where it is used the longer way by ship around Africa or the transport through the Suez Canal. With the additional condition of development and rational functioning of the harbour and terminal logistics, the multimodal corridor Baltik-Adriatic shortens the transport way for several thousands of nautical miles. The proposal for the improvement of traffic linking is based on the option of usage of the geographically shortest and most convenient land connection between the Adriatic and Baltic Sea, due to their deep cutting into the European mainland. The tracing of direct multimodal corridor Baltic-Adriatic is the contribution to optimization of the future entire Europen traffic net.

INOVATIVNE AKTIVNOSTI HRVATSKIH PODUZEĆA – RAZLIKA PO INDUSTRIJAMA
INNOVATION ACTIVITIES OF CROATIAN ENTERPRISES – DIFFERENCES BY INDUSTRIES
Vesna Andrijević Matovac
inovacije; industrija; inovativne aktivnosti; mjere poticaja inovativnih aktivnosti
innovation; industry; innovative activity; incentives for innovative activity
U uvjetima globalne ekonomije hrvatska poduzeća često ne mogu konkurirati cijenom proizvoda. Jedan od mogućih načina diferencijacije hrvatskih proizvoda jest inoviranje. Izlazak na međunarodno tržište također zahtijeva određene standarde kvalitete proizvoda koji se isto tako mogu ostvariti inoviranjem. Pitanje je kako se s tim izazovima nose poduzeća iz različitih industrija. Svrha je rada utvrditi ukoliko se razlikuju inovativne aktivnosti poduzeća koja pripadaju različitim industrijskim granama. Zato je o tome provedeno istraživanje, a metodologija istraživanja razvijena je na osnovi OSLO Manuala - niza uputa za provođenje istraživanja o inovacijama. Hipoteza je rada da se poduzeća iz različitih industrijskih grana razlikuju prema razini inovativne aktivnosti, a to je istraživanjem i dokazano. Zaključno se u radu razmatra i priprema mjera kojima bi se poticala inovativna aktivnost na razini industrijskih grana.
In the global economic environment, Croatian firms are often not price competitive. One of the possible methods of differentiation is to innovate. In addition, penetration into foreign markets requires certain product quality standards which are also possible to be achieved through innovation. The question is how fi rms from different industries meet these challenges. The goal of the paper is to determine the extent of the differences in the innovative activity of firms from different industries. For this purpose, research was conducted using the methodology based on the OSLO Manual - set of instructions for research on innovation. The hypothesis of the paper is that firms from different branches of industry have a different level of innovation activity, which is proven by the research findings. The paper also examines different incentives to increase innovative activity at the industrial level.

KONVERGENCIJA TRANZICIJSKIH ZEMALJA PREMA EUROPSKOJ UNIJI
CONVERGENCE OF TRANSITIONAL COUNTRIES TOWARDS THE EUROPEAN UNION

Glavni je naglasak ovoga rada na procesima konvergencije tranzicijskih zemalja prema Europskoj uniji. Razmatraju se različiti tipovi konvergencije: nominalna, strukturna i realna konvergencija. Istražuje se stupanj konvergencije koji je Hrvatska zajedno s ostalim tranzicijskim zemljama postigla prema različitim stajalištima i po različitim kriterijima da bi se dobila jedna sveobuhvatna ocjena stanja i pozicije Hrvatske na putu prema EU. Problematika konvergencije, odnosno smanjenja razlika u ekonomskim performansama među zemljama veoma je aktualna. Smatra se da ukidanje barijera trgovini i mobilnost faktora proizvodnje pridonose bržem razvitku i konvergenciji. Zbog toga je značajno ostvariti visok stupanj konvergencije da bi zemlja mogla imati koristi od integriranja i vođenja zajedničke politike. U radu se pokazuje da je u procesu integriranja potrebno obratiti pozornost kako na nominalnu, tako i na realnu i strukturnu konvergenciju, i to zato da bi i potencijalna zemlja članica i sama integracija imale koristi od takvoga učlanjenja. Proces prilagođivanja ima dugoročan karakter i veoma je važno postići visoku i održivu konvergenciju prema više kriterija.
This paper analyzes convergence of transitional countries towards European Union. Different types of convergence are considered: nominal, structural and real convergence. It is analyzed the level of convergence which Croatia and other transitional countries achived from different point of views so that we can get complete evaluation of Croatia`s position on it`s way to EU.Issue of convergence is very interesting these days. It is considered that free trade and mobility of factors of production contribute to faster development and convergence. Because of that it is very important for countries to achieve high level of convergence in order to exploit advantages of integrating and deducting common policy. In the paper is shown that in the process of integration is very important to pay attention to nominal, but also to real and structural convergence so that potential country member and the integration itself can exploit advantages of such a membership. The process of adjustment has a long-term character and it is of big importance to achieve high and sustainable convergence having in consideration different criteria.

OSIGURANJE KVALITETE I VISOKOŠKOLSKE USTANOVE U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
Ivan Mencer

higher education; quality assurance; external assessment (audit); internal assessment (audit)
Visoko školstvo u Republici Hrvatskoj ima obvezu uskladiti se s principima Bolonjske deklaracije, a to zato što je Hrvatska 2001. potpisala tu Deklaraciju. Pritom se nailazi na potrebu da se zadovolje raznovrsni zahtjevi. Jedan je od njih i postojanje sustava osiguranja kvalitete. Tim sustavom država zadržava nadzor nad autonomijom sveučilišta, a razlog je za to razumljiv. Sveučilišta postaju autonomna u uvjetima kada država zadržava obvezu alimentiranja obrazovnih i znanstveno-istraživačkih programa. Dakle, autonomija nije samo pravo sveučilišta, već i odgovornost prema državi, poslodavcima, strukovnim udruženjima, studentima i njihovim roditeljima. Spremnost na uvođenje sustava osiguranja kvalitete na visokoškolskim ustanovama u Republici Hrvatskoj istražuje se uz pomoć upitnika koji sadrži 16 pitanja. Dobijeni rezultati upućuju na raznovrsnost shvaćanja kvalitete u visokome obrazovanju, različitost mišljenja o kvaliteti rada ustanova visokog obrazovanja i na mogućnosti primjene sustava osiguranja kvalitete.Želi li se uvesti i održavati sustav osiguranja kvalitete u visokome školstvu Republike Hrvatske potrebno je provesti organizacijske nadopune u ustanovama visokog obrazovanja i akciju izobrazbe u osiguranju kvalitete.
Since Croatia signed the Bologna Declaration in 2001, Croatian Higher Education has had an obligation to comply with its principles and requirements, which includes the implementation of the quality assurance system. The system assures both the autonomy of different universities and the interest of stakeholders, including the government. Universities are autonomous when the state maintains an obligation to fund educational and research programs. This autonomy implies not only the rights of universities but also an obligation and responsibility towards the stakeholders (government, employers, professional associations, general public, students and their parents).Readiness for the implementation of the quality assurance system in Croatian higher education institutions can be measured by the proposed 16-item questionnaire. The achieved results indicate the diversity in understanding the term of quality in higher education, the diversity of opinion about quality of the institutions, and diversity of opinion about possibilities of implementing the quality assurance system. To introduce and implement the quality assurance system in Croatian higher education, it is necessary to make organizational changes within the HE institutions and carry out intensive training of staff, teachers and students.

AMERICA AND EUROPE: GLOBALIZATION AND THE CHANGING GEOSTRATEGIC ENVIRONMENT
AMERIKA I EUROPA: GLOBALIZACIJA I PROMJENE GEOSTRATEŠKOG OKRUŽENJA
George Macesich
Dragomir Vojnić
America - history; Europe - history; external relations
Amerika -povijest; Europa - povijest; međunarodni odnosi
This study discusses the post 9/11 events and the changing
geostrategic environment. It does so by drawing on American and
European history. Particular emphasis is placed on external shocks
experienced by America and how such shocks changed the country’s external relations particularly with Europe. It stresses the need to
improve the quality and quantity of information if these relations are
to be mutually productive. This is especially, but not exclusively, the
case in economic and monetary policy, banking, finance and capital
markets. Section II draws on several historical episodes in American and European relations. Section III discusses what is to be done.
Section IV discusses who will do it.
Rad obrađuje događaje nakon 11. rujna i promjene geostrateškog okruženja. To čini oživljavajući američku i europsku povijest. Posebni naglasak stavljen je na vanjske udare koje je pretrpjela Amerika i kako su takvi udari promjenili međunarodne odnose zemlje, naročito s Europom. Naglašena je potreba za poboljšanjem kakvoće i količine informacija kako bi ti odnosi bili uzajamno produktivni. To je naročito, ali ne isključivo, slučaj u ekonomskoj i monetarnoj politici, bankarstvu, fi nancijskim i kapitalnim tržištima. Poglavlje II prikazuje nekoliko povijesnih epizoda u američkim i europskim odnosima. U poglavlju III raspravlja se o tome što treba učiniti. Poglavlje IV govori o tome tko će to učiniti.

MARKET - DAMNATION OR SALVATION
TRŽIŠTE - PROKLETSTVO ILI SPASENJE

The passed century was very turbulent worldwide, especially in
European relations. This turbulence was expressed through the strong social shocks and changes. In the very centre of these events was
the phenomenon of the market and democracy contradictions. During the passed century the planet Earth cumulated more knowledge, new technologies and new products, than the whole civilization which had
preceded. In such conditions especially expressed were the contradictions inherent to market and democracy, as the essential factors of
our civilization. The positive sides of market manifested in the fact
that it award the capable and successful ones, and punish those who
are not. The bad sides of market manifest in the fact that the free
market activity makes the rich even richer and the poor even poorer.The good sides of (parliamentary) democracy reflect in the protection of human rights and freedoms. Those less good manifest in a fact thatsocial justice and social rights are not included in these human rights.Great turbulences and crises in the most developed countries of the
world, especially in USA, showed that contemporary capitalism did notsurvive through the invisible hand of Adam Smith, but on the contrarythrough the very visible hand of John Maynard Keynes.
Proteklo je stoljeće u svjetskim, posebno europskim, razmjerima bilo veoma turbulen-tno. Tu su turbulentnost izražavali veliki društveni potresi i promjene. U samoj središnjici tih potresa i promjena stoji fenomen tržišta i demokracija, odnosno njihova protivuriječja. Tijekom proteklog stoljeća na planeti zemlji je kumulirano više znanja, novih tehnologija i novih proizvoda nego u ukupnoj civilizaciji koja je predhodila. U takvim su uvjetima protivuriječja inherentna tržištu i demokraciji, kao bitnim čimbenicima naše civilizacije, posebno dolazili do izražaja. Dobre strane tržišta su se manifestirale u činjenici da ono nagrađuje sposobne uspješne, a kažnjava one koji to nisu. Loše strane tržišta se manifesti-raju u činjenici da slobodno djelovanje tržišta čini bogate još bogatijima a siromašne još siromašnijima. Dobre strane (parlamentarne) demokracije imaju za učinak zaštitu ljudskih prava i slobode. One manje dobre se manifestiraju u činjenici da u ta ljudska prava nisu uključena i socijalna prava i socijalna pravda. Velike turbulencije i krizne situacije u najrazvijenijim zemljama svijeta posebno u SAD su pokazale da se suvremeni kapitalizam nije održao temeljem nevidljive ruke Adama Smitha nego naprotiv temeljem veoma vidljive ruke Johna Maynarda Keynesa.

Autor ovog članka se već ranije bavio istraživanjem znanstvenog opusa Dragomira Vojnića, jednog od najistaknutijih hrvatskih ekonomista. Dragomir Vojnić je jedan od obnovitelja Ekonomskog instituta, Zagreb 1952. godine. Ovaj Institut pripada najstarijim ekonomskim institutima u ovom dijelu Euro-pe. Osnovan je 1939., a časopis Ekonomski pregled 1935. godine. Dragomir Vojnić je znanstveni savjetnik (emeritus) Ekonomskog instituta, Zagreb, i redovni profesor (emeritus) na Ekonomskom fakultetu, Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Član je i suradnik prvo Jugoslavenske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti, a kasnije Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti. Od 1972. do 1990. bio je predsjednik Saveznog ekonomskog savjeta. Od 1973. do 1993. direktor je Ekonomskog instituta, Zagreb. Znanstveni rad Dragomira Vojnića obuhvaća dvije cjeline: (1) ekonomski razvitak, investicije i fi ksni kapital i (2) ekonomija i politika tranzicije.
Od dvanaest objavljenih knjiga, šest se odnosi na prvu a drugih šest na drugu cjelinu istraživanja. Na području ekonomske znanosti objavio je preko 200 članaka u zemlji i inozemstvu. Bio je vrlo aktivan u međunarodnoj znanstvenoj suradnji. Kao direktor Ekonomskog instituta, Zagreb naročito je surađivao s Bečkim institutom za komparativne međunarodne studije, Institutom za međunarodno ekonomsko i političko istraživanje Ruske akademije znanosti(Moskva) i Institutom za komparativne studije Državnog sveučilišta u Floridi (Tallahassee).
The Central board of the Croatian Economic Association decided at its session on 15 February, 2005 to denote two anniversaries this year. The first anniversary relates to denotation of the seventieth anniversary of the journal Ekonomski pregled published by the Croatian Economic Association. The second anniversary relates to denotation of the eightieth anniversary of the birth of Dragomir Vojnić who has been the editor-in-chief of the journal Ekonomski pregled for over twenty-five years. The author of this paper had even earlier done research on scientifi c work of Dragomir Vojnić, as one of the most prominent Croatian economists. Dragomir Vojnić is one of the renovators of the Institute of Economics, Zagreb in 1952. This Institute belongs to the oldest economic institutes in this part of Europe. It was established in 1939, and the journal Ekonomski pregled in 1935. Dragomir Vojnić is the senior research fellow (emeritus) in the Institute of Economics, Zagreb and the full professor (emeritus) at the Economic Faculty, University of Zagreb. He is the member and associate of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, first, and later on of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. From 1972 to 1990 he was the president of the Federal Economic Counsil. From 1973 to 1993 he was director of the Institute of Economics Zagreb. The scientific work of Dragomir Vojnić relates to two complexes. These are: (1) Economic development, investments and fixed capital; (2) Economics and politics of transitionAmong twelve published books, six of them relate to the
first, and six to the second complex of research. In the field of economic sciences he published over 150 articles in the country and abroad. He was very active in international scientific collaboration. As director of the Institute of Economics, Zagreb he especially collaborated with the Vienna Institute for Comparative International Studies, Institute for International Economic and Political Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and Institute for Comparative Studies of the Florida State University. This collaboration has been well presented by 21 books in English, published by PRAEGER, New York and MacMillan, London. Dragomir Vojnić was very reform-oriented, and participated actively in scientific preparation of reform and transition. Along to very active participation in reform events in our country, he actively participated in preparation of reform in some other countries as well. Here we think of Russia where he directly participated in the attempt of Hruschov to introduce the self-management in 1962, and at the end of the ninetieth in the attempt of Gorbachov to introduce general pluralization and democratisation. In a long series of Vojnić’s works especially mentioned should be one of the most recent which was under the title «Market – damnation or salvation» published in the Ekonomski pregled, in Croatian and English. The paper concentrates on the complex of sustainable development in the light of market and democracy contradictions. The main Vojnić’s messages are that sustainable development can be realized only by combination of the invisible hand of Adam Smith (i.e. market) and the visible hand of John Maynard Keynes (i.e. active economic policy). That means that sustainable development in all three segments (economic, social and ecological), along to the combination of the mentioned doctrines, demands a far stronger role of solidarity. For the course of sustainable development the most responsible are those most developed: USA, European Union and Japan. The United Nations which has for this purpose already started the corresponding reforms, must have a decisive role in that. Sustainable development with a special emphasis on accelerated decrease of the world poverty must be the fundamental task of not only of the XXIst century but of the forthcoming years as well.

Prošlo je petnaest godina od prvog prihvaćanja monetarne politike ciljane inflacije u većem broju zemalja. Ovdje je ukratko prikazana politika ciljane inflacije uz definiranje institucionalnog okvira. Zasad nema jasnih dokaza o izraženim prednostima toga monetarnoga režima u odnosu na ostale, ali režim ciljane inflacije daje dodatni poticaj za proučavanje transmisijskog mehanizma. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na analizu transmisijskog mehanizma monetarne politike i na promjene koje nastaju procesom europskih integracija. Iskustva i zaključci djelovanja transmisijskih mehanizama uzeti su potom kao osnova za valorizaciju i promišljanje hrvatskoga transmisijskoga mehanizma monetarne politike. Sve to u svjetlu očekivanih promjena u nadolazećem srednjoročnom razdoblju EU integracije i približavanja EMU.
Fifteen years have passed since the first acceptance of the infl ation targeting monetary policy in a number of countries. This paper outlines the infl ation targeting monetary policy whilst providing the institutional framework. A special emphasis has been placed on the analysis of the transmission mechanism of the monetary policy and the changes resulting from the European integration process. The common denominator determining the success of the infl ation targeting policy emphasises the need for strong and lasting institutions in order to maintain macroeconomic stability. The experiences and conclusions drawn from the activities of the transmission mechanisms are taken as the basis for the evaluation and consideration of the Croatian transmission mechanism of the monetary policy. All in anticipation of the middle term EU integration period and EMU entry.

VAŽNOST OSOBNOG IMIDŽA U ODLUČIVANJU O MARKI PROIZVODA
THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-CONCEPT IN BRAND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

Rad je usmjeren na analizu psiholoških aspekata procesa odlučivanja u području kupnje proizvoda; preciznije na važnost i utjecaj osobnog imidža na odluku o izboru marke proizvoda. Polazi od pretpostavke na koju ukazuju dosadašnja istraživanja u tom području, odnosno od toga da je izbor marke proizvoda pod utjecajem i u skladu s osobnim imidžom, pri čemu aktualno «ja» leži u osnovi odabira marki koje se privatno konzumiraju, a idealno «ja» u izboru marki koje se konzumiraju u socijalnom okruženju. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja podržavaju dosadašnje nalaze, odnosno ukazuju na to da preferiramo i biramo proizvode koji su u skladu s imidžom koji imamo sami o sebi. Uvođenje pojma «idealni automobil» razjasnio je nekonzistentnosti prethodnih nalaza o povezanosti odabira proizvoda javne konzumacije s ostvarivanjem željenog imidža. Iako su imidži procjenjivanih proizvoda javne konzumacije (automobila) sličniji aktualnom «ja», imidž idealnog automobila ipak je statistički značajno sličniji idealnom osobnom imidžu, a pokazuje da su hipoteze točne, samo su neka prethodna istraživanja odabirala nedovoljno atraktivne marke proizvoda koje bi mogle potpomoći ojačavanju željenog imidža.
The paper is analyzing psychological aspects of purchase-decision process; more precisely the importance of self-concept in a brand-choice. Starting from given assumptions suggesting that brand choice is under positive infl uence and is related to self-concept in a way that actual self-concept lies within private consumption. Whereas, the ideal self-concept has signifi cant effect on brand choice consumed in a social environment. The results of this research mostly support past hypotheses, which point out that we prefer and choose brands similar to our own self-image. Integrating ‘the ideal car’ as a new concept in the research design has clarifi ed some inconsistencies of earlier evidence which have been implying strong relation between public consumption and reaching desired self-concept. Even though, the evaluated products publicly consumed (cars) are more similar to the actual self-image, the statistical similarity between ideal car and ideal self-concept indicates that hypothesis are correct. Nevertheless, in some previous designs researchers have not selected the right brands attractive enough to support or strengthen the ideal self-concept.

Marketing miks strategija suvremeno je oruđe u vođenju poslovne politike gospodarskoga društva u tržišnim uvjetima. To je posebno bitno za tvrtke iz djelatnosti tržišta pune konkurencije. Stoga je nezaobilazna u vođenju poslova životnog osiguranja. U teoriji i praksi marketing miks strategija uključuje proizvod, cijenu, promociju i kanale distribucije. Autorica tvrdi i zaključuje da je u poslu životnog osiguranja posebno toj strategiji dodati i jednako bitnu sastavnicu: ulaganje privremeno slobodnih fi nancijskih sredstava, to jest ulaganje matematičke pričuve životnog osiguranja. Svoju tvrdnju i zaključak izvodi na osnovi teorijske rasprave, a potvrđuje razmatranjem poslovanja jedne osiguravajuće tvrtke.
Insurance is reciprocal settlement of many subjects endangered in the same way, whilst the endargement is random by its character and can be evaluated. The very essence of the insurance is to form money fund consisting of payments and premiums of the risk community partners and pay out the insuree the premium or the agreed sum for the damage suffered. Life insurance is a special kind of insurance with particular characteristics not shared with other insurances. Only life insurance is longterm and economical, whereas the insured sum of money gets always paid out to the insurance holder. Therefore the insurance policy is as valuable as securities, and may also have the guarantee function. Also, the life insurance is an important source for investments with signifi cant profit. The insurance company place out the financial means of the people, which represent the savings premium, and that is mathematical reserve, onto the financial market. Mathematical reserve are temporarily free means of the risk community, insurer means, managed by the insurance company. This obliges insurer to form investment portfolio which will realize added contributions. That is why the strategy for managing mathematical reserve is crucial factor in managing, creating stability and survival of the insurance company. Namely, all insurance companies have the same terms of management and parameter values for net premium calculation and insurance cost price. This means that business results of each and every one of them derive from the quality of the mathematical reserve investment portfolio. Marketing mix is a modern tool of business policy of an insurance company that functions within market conditions. This strategy is particularly important for the management of the companies that belong to the full competition market activity. All this makes the marketing mix strategy unavoidable in insurance business, especially that of life insurance. It is less essential and needed in compulsory insurance, such as, liability insurance, for instance.In theory and practice the marketing mix strategy includes a product price, promotion and distribution channels. We state and conclude: in life insurance business the added and equally important element of the marketing mix is to invest temporarily free financial means, that is, mathematical reserve of life insurance. Profit, out of these investments, increases the life insurance risk community funds. This provides for the decrease of prices, premiums, insurance, thus increasing competitiveness on the life insurance market. The investment quality, and investment model which is used to optimize the investment portfolio, significantly influence the premium competitiveness and total insurance company business, as well as its survival on the life insurance market. This conclusion is supported by the investigation results of the Croatia osiguranje d.d., Ljubuški business. The data shows a remarkable business competitiveness of this insurer on the life insurance market, secured by its qualitative management of the mathematical reserve.

KORPORATIVNI IMIDŽ - OSNOVNI ČIMBENIK OPSTANKA I RAZVITKA OSIGURAVAJUĆEG DRUŠTVA NA GLOBALNOME TRŽIŠTU
CORPORATIVE IMAGE - THE KEY FACTOR OF SURVIVAL AND DEVELOPMENT OF INSURANCE COMPANY AT GLOBAL MARKET

corporative image; globalisation; image management
Pod utjecajem globalizacije sve je jača konkurencija i na hrvatskome tržištu osiguranja, na kojem se nude isti ili slični osiguravateljni proizvodi po približno jednakim cijenama. Zbog toga, kao i zbog rizika neisplate buduće štete kojem se osiguranik izlaže kod sklapanja ugovora o osiguranju, unapređenje korporativnog imidža osiguravajućeg društva ima sve značajniju ulogu u povećanju njegove konkurentnosti na tržištu, rastu tržišnoga udjela i profita. Sukladno s time, pravilno implementiranje korporativnog imidža i upravljanje njime ključni je čimbenik opstanka i razvitka osiguravajućeg društva koje posluje u uvjetima globalne ekonomije, pa upravljanje imidžom postaje osnovna marketinška disciplina svakog uspješnoga osiguravajućega društva. Prema rezultatima istraživanja, najbolji imidž (među sedam najvećih osiguravajućih društava) na tržištu osiguranja Primorsko-goranske županije ima osiguravajuće društvo Croatia, koje ima i najveći tržišni udio. Na drugome je mjestu Allianz Zagreb, koji prema tržišnome udjelu zauzima treće mjesto. No, da bi i dalje uspješno poslovala u uvjetima jake globalne konkurencije, oba će osiguravajuća društva morati repozicionirati svoj imidž. Naime, ispitanici Croatiu percipiraju kao zastarjelo osiguravajuće društvo, koje nema osobito kvalitetan odnos prema osiguranicima, a Allianz doživljavaju kao malo osiguravajuće društvo, visokih cijena i nedovoljne dostupnosti osiguravateljnih proizvoda.
Under the influence of globalization, the competition on Croatian insurance market is also rising, where equal or similar services are being offered. Due to that, as well as the risk of unpaid future damage which is facing the insured when contracting for insurance policy, the role of corporative image improvement of insurance company is becoming more and more important in enlarging it’s competitiveness on market, growth of market share and profit. So, the regular implementation of corporative image and running it is becoming the key factor of insurance company’s existence and development which is running a business in conditions of global economy, so image management is becoming the fundamental market discipline of every successful insurance company. After the results of researches, the best image (between seven largest insurance companies) on insurance market in Primorsko-goranska region holds The Croatia insurance company, which also holds the largest market share. On the second place is Allianz Zagreb, which stands on the third place of market share. However, to continue the successful business running in conditions of strong global competition, both insurance companies will have to relocate their image. The reason for that stands in fact that examinees see Croatia as an obsolete insurance company, which doesn’t have high-quality relation with their insured, and they experience Allianz as a small insurance company with high prices and low accessibility of insurance products.

PROGNOZIRANJE I PRAĆENJE DOBITI (GUBITKA) U TRGOVAČKOM DRUŠTVU
FORECASTING AND MONITORING PROFIT (LOSS) IN COMMERCIAL COMPANIES
Berislav Bolfek

business forecasting; exponential smoothing; mean absolute error; profit and loss; company
U trgovačkim društvima ponekad postoji zakašnjenje u informiranju menadžmenta o visini dobiti ili gubitka, a to uzrokuje teškoće menadžmentu pri upravljanju poslovnim rezultatom. Stoga je svrha ovog rada izraditi i provjeriti model za prognoziranje i praćenje dobiti (gubitka) u trgovačkom društvu koji će menadžmentu omogućiti prognoziranje i praćenje poslovnog rezultata svakoga mjeseca u tekućoj godini.Od poznatih su metoda za prognoziranje dvije uzete u uži izbor, to su: metoda eksponencijalnog izglađivanja i metoda eksponencijalnog izglađivanja sa trendom. Provjerom točnosti prognostičkih metoda uz pomoć prosječne apsolutne prognostičke pogreške (MAE – mean absolute error) odabrana je metoda eksponencijalnog izglađivanja, jer je pokazala veću točnost u prognoziranju od metode eksponencijalnog izglađivanja s trendom, kod obrade poslovnih rezultata komunalnog trgovačkog društva. Model je postavljen tako da svakoga mjeseca u poslovnoj godini prognozira dobit ili gubitak na godišnjoj razini, tj. na dan 31. prosinca prognozirane godine. Tako u siječnju daje prognozu za svih dvanaest mjeseci u godini, a u veljači model daje prognozu za razdoblje veljača – prosinac, a za siječanj uzima u obzir ostvarene poslovne rezultate. Isti slijed prognoziranja i praćenja ponavlja se za razdoblje ožujak – prosinac, pa sve do kraja tekuće godine. Testiranjem modela za prognoziranje i praćenjem dobiti (gubitka) s podacima iz komunalnog trgovačkog društva dokazana je primjenjivost modela u trgovačkim društvima s time da je model potrebno integrirati u informacijski sustav trgovačkog društva. Ovaj model omogućuje menadžmentu da poduzima pravovremene preventivne korektivne akcije radi postizanja planiranih ciljeva poslovne politike, odnosno ostvarivanje načela upravljanja poslovnim rezultatom.
Sometimes in commercial companies the management receives the information about profit and loss amounts with delay what creates difficulties to management in managing business results. So, the purpose of this work is to elaborate and check the model for forecasting and monitoring profit (loss) in commercial companies that will enable the management monthly forecasting and monitoring business results. Among known forecasting methods, the exponential smoothing method and exponential smoothing method with trend were possible choices. Checking the accuracy of forecasting methods by applying mean absolute prognostic error (MAE) exponential smoothing method was chosen because in processing business results of municipal trading company it showed more accuracy in forecasting than exponential smoothing method with trend. The model has been set in a way that each month of financial year it forecasts profit or loss at yearly level, i.e. on 31 December of forecasting year. So in January it gives the forecast for all twelve months of the year, while in February the model gives the forecast for the period February – December, while for January it takes into account achieved results. The same forecasting and monitoring sequence is repeated for the period March – December and all up to the end of financial year. Testing the model for forecasting and monitoring profit (loss) with data from municipal commercial company proved applicability of the model to commercial companies, but the model has to be integrated in commercial company information system. This model enables the management to take timely preventive corrective actions to obtain planned goals of business policy, i.e. achieve the principle of managing business result.

OPCIONI PRISTUP VREDNOVANJU KAPITALNIH ULAGANJA
OPTION APPROACH TO CAPITAL INVESTMENT EVALUATION

Oportunitetni (opcioni) pristup vrednovanju kapitalnih ulaganja, bez sumnje je jedan potpuno nov teorijsko metodološki okvir investicijske analize. Za razliku od tradicionalnih, discount cash fl ow (DCF) metoda analize, opcioni pristup daje mogućnost vrednovanja i upravljačke fl eksibilnosti, odnosno mogućnosti prilagođivanja (korigiranja prvobitnih odluka) u skladu sa tržišnim promjenama. Rizik i neizvjesnost neminovni su pratilac kapitalnih ulaganja, pa je zato značaj opcionog pristupa ocjeni i to što omogućuje bolji «tretman» rizika u investicijskoj analizi, a time i racionalniju alokaciju resursa. Taj bi pristup morao biti posebno zanimljiv za zemlje u tranziciji zbog ograničenosti izvora financiranja i zbog naglašenosti rizika i neizvjesnosti.
In finance, the discounted cash fl ow (DCF) model operates as the basic framework for most analysis. In investment analysis, the conventional view is that the net present value of a project is the measure of the value that it will add to the firm taking it. Thus, investing in positive (negative) net present value project will increase (decrease) value. In recent years, this framework has come under some fire for failing to consider the options that are embedded in each of these actions. For instance, the net present value of a project does not capture the values of the options to delay, expand or abandon a project. In light of these options that seem to be everywhere, there are some theorists and many practitioners who belive that we should consider these options when analyzing corporate decisions. The asimmetry deriving from having the right, but not the obligation to exercise the option, lies at the heart of the option’s value.

RELEVANTNE ZNAKOVITOSTI EUROPSKOGA PROMETNOGA TRŽIŠTA
RELEVANT CHARACTERISTICS OF EUROPEAN TRANSPORT MARKET
Drago Pupavac
europsko prometno tržište; prometna ponuda; investicije; prometna potražnja; ravnoteža prometnoga tržišta
European transport market; transport supply; transport demand; transport market equilibrium
Glavni je cilj ove rasprave istražiti relevantne znakovitosti europskoga prometnoga tržišta. Dobijene spoznaje u ovoj raspravi, zasnovane na metodi analize i sinteze, na sustavnoj metodi, na metodama matematičkoga modeliranja i matematičkoga programiranja, kvalitetna su polazišta za postizanje ravnoteže na značajnijim segmentima europskoga prometnoga tržišta. Posebno se ističe da prometna ponuda na regionalnom prometnome tržištu mora biti sposobna zadovoljiti potrebe za regionalnim prometom, odnosno prometnu potražnju bez porasta neiskorištenih kapaciteta i da se usmjerivanjem investicija u rješavanje problema prometne ponude u «kritičnim» dijelovima regije osiguravaju ravnomjeran i skladan gospodarski razvitak, brzo i efikasno povezivanje pojedinih europskih država i različito razvijenih europskih regionalnih grupacija. Navedeni primjer transportnoga problema na mreži potvrđuje znanstvenu zasnovanost navedenih tvrdnji.
The main aim of this debate is to explore the relevant characteristics of European transport market. The information gained through this debate are based on synthesis and analysis, systematic method, methods of mathematic modelling and mathematical programming and represent quality starting points for achieving equilibrium in more significant of European transport market. It is stressed that the transport supply in regional transport market should be able to satisfy the needs for regional transport, or transport demand without the increase in unused capacities and that through investments’ channelling into transport supply problem-solving in “critical” parts of a region, the equal and equilibrium economical development, will be achieved, as well as fast and efficient connection between individual European countries and differently developed European regional groups. The presented example of a network transport problem confirms the scientific basis of the stated facts.

The aim of this paper is to study dependence of market structure and quality system implementation in Croatian companies. The survey research was conducted using random stratifi ed sample of Croatian firms. Adequate statistical tests were applied to make conclusions. The results suggest that the structure of clients as well as the structure of markets from which Croatian companies primarily gain their revenues is signifi cantly dependent upon level of quality system implementation. Croatian firms should make stronger efforts to introduce quality system to make faster entrance and to conquer strong positions at the foreign markets.
Članak prikazuje istraživačke nalaze autora temeljene na izvornom anketnom istraživanju provedenom na reprezentativnom uzorku hrvatskih poduzeća koncem 2003. godine. Rezultati vode do sljedećih zaključaka: 1. Ako se tržište podijeli na domaće i izvozno, nešto je veći udio firmi s uvedenim sustavom kvalitete kod izvozno orijentiranih poduzeća (24%) nego kod ovih drugih (17%), iako povezanost izvozne orijentacije s implementiranošću sustava kvalitete nije statistički značajna. Bez obzira na razinu kulture kvalitete, stjecanje prihoda je tek kod prosječno 30% poduzeća došlo prvenstveno od izvoza, s tim da je kod firmi s uvedenim sustavom kvalitete postotak takvih (38%) iznad prosjeka. Međutim, stupanj usvojenosti sustava kvalitete u poduzećima i dominantna orijentiranost na određeno tržište: domaće, regionalno, europsko ili šire internacionalno, od kojeg analizirana poduzeća primarno stječu prihode, su statistički značajno ovisna obilježja. Posebno zabrinjava da blizu polovice istraživanih poduzeća posluje samo na domaćem tržištu i uopće ne mari za sustave kvalitete. 2. Stupanj kulture kvalitete i struktura prosječnih udjela u uku-pnom prihodu ostvarenih od pojedinih vrsta klijenata, korporativnih ili maloprodajnih, su povezane kategorije. Poduzeća s uvedenim sustavom kvalitete imaju statistički značajno veći udio korporativnih klijenata kao izvora prihoda nego poduzeća koja primaju konzultacije za uvođenje sustava kvalitete i ostala poduzeća. Firme s uvedenim sustavom kvalitete su manje okrenute maloprodaji nego ostale i ta razlika je statistički značajna. Poduzeća koja primaju konzultacije za uvođenje sustava kvalitete i firme koje za kvalitetu ne mare, međusobno se ne razlikuju statistički značajno glede proporcije prihoda od maloprodaje.

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STORE PATRONAGE MOTIVES AND PURCHASING OUTCOMES FOR MAJOR SHOPPING TRIPS IN THE CROATIAN GROCERY
ISTRAŽIVANJE POVEZANOSTI IZMEĐU ČIMBENIKA IZBORA PRODAVAONICA I POTROŠNJE U VELIKIM KUPOVINAMA U HRVATSKOJ MALOPRODAJI HRANOM

Prediction of retail patronage has long been of interest to scholars and practitioners. For retailers, the importance of this theory is in gaining the ideas and knowledge of how to design the retailing strategy tailored to specific consumers’ needs and wants. The present paper examines the importance of store patronage motives for major shopping trips and explores how they are associated with purchasing outcomes and retailers’ performance. Questions addressed here were examined with data collected from a consumer and company questionnaires carried out in the Croatian grocery sector in 2004. Data was analysed using factor and cluster analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression as well. The analysis produced 6 store patronage motive factors, shopping convenience being the most important factor for generating store traffic, and prices for enhancing monthly sales level. Four shopper groups with signifi cantly different shopping behaviour were identified. Since retailers’ sales level is determined by store traffic and not by the average spending per shopper, the retailers should focus to increase store traffic by offering the best package of store attributes and loyalty programmes, targeting each shopper group differently.
Znanstvenici i menadžeri trgovačkih poduzeća već dugo nastoje identificirati ključne čimbenike kod izbora prodavaonice. Za maloprodavače ova teorija daje smjernice za razvoj strategije koja bi bila prilagođena potrebama i željama potrošača. Ovaj članak istražuje relativno značenje čimbenika kod izbora prodavaonice za velike kupovine, i analizira njihovu povezanost s potrošnjom potrošača i rezultatima poslovanja maloprodavača. Podaci za analizu prikupljeni su s anketnim upitnikom, provedenim u hrvatskoj maloprodaji u 2004. godini. Različite multivarijante statističke metode su korištene u obradi podataka, uključujući faktorsku i cluster analizu, ANOVA-u i višestruku regresiju. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da postoje 6 čimbenika izbora prodavaonica. Sa stajališta izbora prodavaonica “lakoća kupovanja” je najznačajniji čimbenik, dok je mjesečna potrošnja uvjetovana čimbenikom “cijena”. U hrvatskoj maloprodaji postoje četiri grupe potrošača s potpuno različitim modelom ponašanja i različitom razinom potrošnje. Kako broj kupaca (a ne prosječna potrošnja po kupcu) uvjetuje ostvarenu mjesečnu prodaju, maloprodavači bi se trebali fokusirati na povećanje broja kupaca tako da ponude one “atribute prodavaonice” koji najbolje odgovaraju zatjevima pojedinih grupa potrošača, kao i da intenziviraju primjenu programa lojalnosti.

“CROWDING OUT” EFEKTI IZDATAKA ZA OBRANU REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE (1994.-2004.)
“CROWDING OUT” EFFECTS OF DEFENSE EXPENSES FOR THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA (1994-2004)

Svrha je ovoga rada ispitati međuovisnost obrambenih izdataka i investicija Republike Hrvatske. Preciznije, posebna je pažnja usmjerena na pitanje je li novac potrošen na obrambene organizacije, vojnu opremu, opskrbu i oružje zapreka investicijama, a time i gospodarskome rastu Republike Hrvatske. Sigurno je veoma važno postojanje dosadašnjih spoznaja i istraživanja koja su proveli razni autori, a koja govore upravo o spomenutoj međuovisnosti. Tako bi i ovaj rad bio svojevrstan doprinos znanosti koja se bavi problematikom ekonomike obrane. Istraživanje je provedeno postavljanjem i testiranjem modela koji daje odgovore na pitanje o utjecaju obrambenih izdataka na investicije. Dakle, koristeći se modelom u kojem se postavlja i defi nira kako jedna nezavisna varijabla poput izdataka za obranu utječe na zavisnu varijablu bruto domaći proizvod, i to preko investicija koje su sastavni dio BDP. Provođenjem analize na osnovi prikupljenih podataka za sve varijable dolazi se do zaključka da postoji određena interakcija između izdataka za obranu i investicija. Dokazano je da izdaci za obranu Republike Hrvatske u razdoblju od godine 1994. do 2004. imaju određen negativni utjecaj na investicije u zemlji. To naravno ne znači da je utjecaj izdataka za obranu negativan u odnosu na bruto domaći proizvod. On djeluje negativno na investicije kao sastavni dio BDP, a konačni utjecaj može biti pozitivan, ali to ponajprije ovisi o prevazi faktora koji djeluju negativno ili pozitivno na bruto domaći proizvod.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the interdependence between defense expenses and investments in the Republic of Croatia. More precisely, a special care has been attended to the issue whether money spent for defense institutions, military equipment, procurement and weapons is preventing the investments and consequently the economic growth in Croatia. There is a signifi cant body of literature on this subject, to which this paper pretends to make the contribution. The research has been performed by setting up and testing a model which gives answers regarding the impact of defense expenses upon investments, by using a model which shows how the independent variable (defense expenses) infl uences the dependent variable (gross domestic product), through investments being an integral part of GDP. By analyzing on the basis of gathered data for all variables, one could draw a conclusion that there is certain interaction between defense expenses and investments. It is proved that Republic of Croatia’s defense expenses in the period of 1994 – 2004 had negative impact upon domestic investments. That of course means that infl uence of defense expenses is negative regarding gross domestic product. It acts negatively upon investments which are an integral part of GDP, and a final influence could still be positive, depending primarily upon preponderance of factors which are acting negatively or positively upon GDP.

Rad daje pregled literature u području multinacionalnog širenja inovacija. Istraživanje ovoga područja novijeg je datuma i još je uvijek prilično neistraženih aspekata pojave širenja inovacija na međunarodnoj razini. Potreba za istraživanjima te vrste nametnuta je suvremenim uvjetima poslovanja koji potiču izlazak na međunarodno tržište. Uz pregled studija o multinacionalnom širenju inovacija, dana je usporedba iznesenih modela i dane su smjernice za dalja istraživanja.
This paper reviews the literature in the field of multinational diffusion of innovation. Research in this field has begun recently and there are still many aspects of diffusion of innovation on international level to be studied. Need for the research of this kind is strongly encouraged by contemporary business conditions that enhance introduction of new products into international market. Along with the review of literature, article presents the comparison of diffusion models and future research directions.

Dugogodišnja istraživanja činitelja i ograničenja dugoročnoga razvitka hrvatskoga građevinarstva kao bitnog elementa gospodarstva nametnula su – uz ostale - i zaključak o postojanju značajne diskrepancije između zavidne tehničko tehnološke razine građevinske proizvodnje i razine upravljanja i rukovođenja proizvodnjom i sveukupnim građevinskim poslovanjem.Suvremena je razina upravljanja i rukovođenja ocijenjena nedopustivo niskom i u najvećoj je mjeri uvjetovana neodgovarajućom inicijalnom i naknadnom edukacijom onih koji na različitim organizacijskim razinama upravljaju poslovanjem. Nedostaci u inicijalnom obrazovanju za obnašanje funkcije upravljanja i rukovođenja u najvećoj se mjeri vide u izostanku znanja o ljudima i u nedostatku prijeko potrebnih širih koncepcijskih znanja, kao bitnih elemenata sveukupnih znanja rukovodećih osoba u poslovanju građevinskih poslovnih tvrtki. Ta su znanja prijeko potreban dodatak neupitno raspoloživim tehničkim znanjima građevinskih inženjera. U radu se stoga raspravlja o vrstama i sadržaju širih koncepcijskih znanja koje bi za vrijeme svoga visokoškolskoga obrazovanja diplomirani inženjeri građevinarstva, kao budući izvršitelji funkcije upravljanja i rukovođenja, također morali steći i time osigurati preduvjete za kvalitetnije upravljanje i rukovođenje građevinskim poslovanjem. U funkciji definiranoga cilja u radu se prikazuju i analiziraju (1) obilježja sustava visokoškolskog obrazovanja za područje upravljanja i rukovođenja u građevinarstvu, (2) potrebna struktura znanja za suvremeno upravljanje i rukovođenje građevinskim poslovanjem, (3) zastupljenost širih koncepcijskih znanja u studiju građevinarstva i prateći problemi kod nas i u svijetu, (4) struktura i sadržaj širih koncepcijskih znanja u osnovnom studiju građevinarstva i u poslijediplomskom studiju područja organizacije, tehnologije i ekonomije. S uporištem u istraživanjima definiraju se buduće obrazovne potrebe i identifi ciraju se lokalni otpori njihovom suvremenom zadovoljavanju, izvode se opći zaključci i daje se naznaka prijeko potrebnih mjera.Na kraju rada upućuje se na relevantne izvore definiranih sadržaja ponuđenih širih koncepcijskih znanja za upravljanje i rukovođenje u građevinarstvu.
The longtime research into the factors and limitations of the long-term development of Croatian civil engineering as an essential element of economy have – among other conclusions - also suggested that there is a significant discrepancy between the high technical and technological level of construction production and the level of management and leadership of the production and of the entire construction business. The recent level of management and leadership has been evaluated as impermissibly low and largely conditioned by inappropriate initial and additional education of those who manage different organizational levels of business operations. Defects in the initial education for the management and leadership function are mostly reflected in the absence of knowledge about people and of indispensable broader conceptual knowledge as essential elements of the complete set of knowledge required for leading individuals managing business operations of construction companies. The fields of knowledge in question are an indispensable supplement for the unquestionably available technical knowledge of civil engineers. In this paper, the author therefore discusses the sorts and the contents of broader conceptual knowledge that graduate engineers of civil engineering, as future managers and leaders, should also need to acquire and thus provide the preconditions for higher quality management and leadership in construction business. In the function of the defi ned goal, the author of this paper presents and analyzes: (1) the characteristic of the system of academic education for the fi eld of management and leadership in civil engineering, (2) the required structure of knowledge for modern management and leadership in construction business, (3) the representation of broader conceptual knowledge in the study of civil engineering and accompanying problems in Croatia and in the world, (4) the structure and contents of broader conceptual knowledge in the basic study of civil engineering and in the postgraduate study in the field of organization, technology and economy. Based on research, the author defines future education needs and identifies local resistances against their contemporary satisfying, at the end, the author makes general conclusions and suggests necessary measures.

PRIMJENA METODE SIMULACIJE U OCJENI KREDITNOG RIZIKA
THE USE OF THE METHOD OF SIMULATION IN THE CREDIT RISK APPRAISAL
Damir Juričić

credit risk; EBITDA
Proces analize kreditnog rizika poslovnog sustava složen je i ovisno o metodi analize može biti više ili manje precizan i transparentan. Primjenom metode simulacije brojnih mogućih stanja poslovnog sustava u budućnosti, jednako kao i statističkom obradom dobijenih nizova, moguće je preciznije i transparentnije kvantifi cirati stvarnu mjeru rizika kreditiranja, tj. rizika nemogućnosti povrata duga. Autor u članku donosi elemente metode simulacije i važnost koeficijenata pokrića duga (DSCR i KDSCR) kao jedne od mjera izražavanja kreditnog rizika.
The credit risk analyzing of a business system is a very compound process, which, depending on the methods applied, could be more or less accurate. By applying the method of simulation of numerous possible situations in which the observed business system could fi nd itself in the future, and by processing the results of the carried out simulations statistically, it is possible to get more accurate and more transparent quantification of the actual credit risk degree, i.e. credit repay risk. The autor of this article presents the elements of the simulation method and the significance of the debt service cover ratio and cumulative debt service cover ratio (DSCR and CDSCR) as the measures of credit risk
