Additional analysis of variables as well as the links between variables will offer the input information that can contribute to the decision-making process in the development of new curriculums. The survey was conducted in Zenica-Doboj Canton, which involved n = 47 respondents. To process data, the following programs were used: Microsoft Excel, SPSS and SmartPL S3 - SEM program. The verification of the validity and the reliability of the measuring scale was carried out by calculating the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The review of the set of the hypotheses was carried out by the Regression analysis. The findings revealed that three hypotheses were accepted and one of them was rejected. The set hypotheses confirmed that the adopted expertise of graduates, the level of acquired skills and cooperation of the University with companies has a statisti...

Dakle, ovaj rad se fokusira na utvrđivanje utjecaja kompetencija top menadžera na životni ciklus malih i srednjih preduzeća. Kako bismo utvrdili stvarni utjecaj kompetencija top menadžera na životni ciklus preduzeća, odabran je stratificirani uzorak od 200 malih i srednjih preduzeća u Federaciji BiH. Nakon odabira indikatora rasta malih i srednjih preduzeća, identificirano je 15 malih i srednjih preduzeća koja su, u posmatranom periodu od tri godine, zabilježila statistički značajan rast. Primjenom Adižesove metodologije za identificiranje kompetencija menadžera, i nakon analize rezultata istraživanja, utvrđeno je da kompetencije menadžera ne determiniraju statistički značajno na životni ciklus malih i srednjih preduzeća u Federaciji BiH.

U ovom radu su predstavljeni rezultati teorijskog i empirijskog istraživanja kojim su identifikovane kompetencije menadžera zasnovane na znanju i kompetencije menadžera zasnovane na osobnosti menadžera. Nakon identifikovanja komepetencija menadžera predstavljen je model za razvijanje menadžerske kompetentnosti. U modelu za razvijanje menadžerske kompetentnosti predlaže se usvajanje opštih, posebnih i specifičnih znanja putem formalnog obrazovanja čime se postiže osposobljenost menadžera koja se putem neformalnog obrazovanja pretvara u menadžerske vještine. Drugi tok razvijanja menadžerskih kompetencija polazi od činjenice da menadžeri trebaju svoje elemente osobnosti u koje spadaju kreativnost, strast, upornost i hrabrost, razvijati neformalnim obrazovanjem do menadžerskih vještina. Menadžeri trebaju težiti uspostavljanju ravnoteže "dijamanta kompetentnosti", odnosno, težiti ravnomjernom razvoju menadžerskih kompetencija.
Dynamic market environment within which is continuous competition between companies for consumers... more Dynamic market environment within which is continuous competition between companies for consumers' affection, more and more requires superiority from companies in the way of doing business and in the quality of the product. To help companies respond to market challenges, they must strike a balance between flexibility and controlling of business processes (Adizes, 2007). The company's flexibility can be viewed from a strategic aspect, the structural aspect, and operational aspect of the company (Carlopio, Harvey, & Kiessling, 2012). No matter what kind of flexibility you look for, their upgrade requires innovative solutions and practical application of new knowledge. As such, technological and market knowledge is focused on developing new products and services (Tidd & Bessant, 2009; Afuah, 2003) with aim of satisfying maximum consumer needs. Therefore, the company's flexibility contributes to successful conceptualization and placement of new products and services on the market (Cakar & Erturk, 2010), compared to the competition. If observed from a strategic aspect, flexibility imposes the company to undertake business activities substantially different in comparison to those undertaken by competitors (porter, 1996). In this way, the constant competitions among companies shift their competitive edge by creating new company's activities in an effort to maximize profit (Hamel & Prahald, 1994).

When consumers are offered the same or similar products produced by different companies and at different prices, and when the company's business result greatly depends on the quality of the work done, company management is more interested in securing its employees' full dedication to work. The generally accepted phrase "you get what you pay for" encouraged this research, whose purpose is to determine the strength of the relationship between materialistic and nonmaterialistic motivational factors to employees' commitment to work. This research starts with the assumption that materialistic factors of motivation are more important motivational factors for employees when compared to nonmaterialistic ones. Listed indicators of motivational factors represent independent variables, while the dependent variable represents the indicator ...
