111. Training funds and the incidence of training : the case of MauritiusOluyemisi Kuku, Peter F. Orazem, Sawkut Rojid, Milan Vodopivec, 2016, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Training funds are used to incentivize training in developing countries, but the funds are based on payroll taxes that lower the return to training. In the absence of training funds, larger, high-wage and more capital-intensive firms are the most likely to offer training unless they are liquidity constrained. If firms are not liquidity constrained, the fund could lower training investments. Using an administrative data set on the Mauritius training fund, we find that the firms most likely to train pay more in taxes than they gain in subsidies. The smallest firms receive more benefits than they pay in taxes.

112. Human resources in a draught : how managers construed the role and meaning of human resource management during the 2008 economic crisis in SloveniaAna Arzenšek, Kristijan Musek Lešnik, 2016, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: An empirical study of interpretive schemas regarding human resource management (HRM) and its social responsibility of selected manufacturers in the automotive industry and of financial institutions is presented. We were interested in how participants interpreted the role of the HRM department during the economic crisis of 2008. It was assumed that HRM is subjected to increased accommodation processes during economic turbulence. Interpretive schemas regarding HRM of three selected manufacturers in the automotive industry and of three financial institutions from Slovenia were studied. Over a three-year period, 31 interviews with their management, HRM, and union representatives were conducted. In addition, content analysis of annual reports was made. The results have shown that the current crisis has not yet been a factor of diminished roles and meaning of HRM. While the manufacturing companies are considerably homogeneous in their scope of adjustments to the crisis, the financial companies considerably differ from each other regarding their scope of activities and are going through schema change. Factors, discovered in this study, add to the knowledge framework of successful HRM change and explain levels of social responsibility towards employees working in the companies.

114. Improvement of business competitiveness through developing G2B e-services in Slovenia and MacedoniaZoran Janevski, Štefan Bojnec, Uroš Godnov, Tatjana Petkovska Mirčevska, Biljana Angelova, Monika Angeloska Dichovska, 2015, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Governments around the world use modern information and communication technologies increasingly in their activities trying to make their services better and more easily accessible to their citizens and businesses.The aim of this paper is to analyze some e-Government services in Slovenia and Macedonia by focusing on government-to-business applications (G2B) with special emphasis on their contribution to creating better business environement in these two countries respectively. The data presented in this analysis come from both desk and field research made in Slovenia and Macedonia.The development of government-to-business services facilitates the interaction between governments and businesses via web-based applications; improves e-business environment and increases business benefits for the companies. By using government-to-business applications companies save time and money; have more efficient communication with government entities and contribute to achieving a higher level of transparency of government activities.

120. Gibanje cen prve ravni anatomsko-terapevtsko-kemične klasifikacije reguliranih zdravilRomana Kajdiž, Štefan Bojnec, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Izhodišča: Članek analizira vpliv reguliranja cen na prvi ravni anatomsko-terapevtsko-kemične (ATC) klasifikacije zdravil, da se prikaže njihovo gibanje po strukturi zdravil. Metode: V analizo je zajetih 760 reguliranih veleprodajnih cen zdravil v letih od 2003 do 2010, predpisanih ambulantno na recept, ki se delno ali v celoti financirajo iz javnih sredstev, ki so razdeljene na prvo raven, tj. anatomske glavne skupine po ATC- klasifikaciji. Za ocenitev učinka reguliranja na gibanje veleprodajnih cen zdravil sta uporabljena Laspeyresov indeks in Wilcoxonov test predznačenih rangov. Rezultati: Laspeyresov indeks potrdi zniževanje reguliranih veleprodajnih cen zdravil za večino anatomskih glavnih skupin zdravil po ATC-klasifikaciji v letih 2003-2010. Ta trditev je potrjena še s statistično pomembnimi razlikami z Wilcoxonovim testom predznačenih rangov, a z nekaj izjemami.Zaključki: Razlike v gibanju veleprodajnih cen zdravil anatomskih glavnih skupin po ATC-klasifikaciji so povezane z ukrepi reguliranja cen za posamezna zdravila in v času. Najbolj so se znižale cene zdravil tistih anatomskih glavnih skupin z večjim številom generičnih zdravil in zdravil z možnostjo zamenljivosti, obratno pa najmanj zdravila, pri katerih je manj generikov in so možnosti zamenljivosti omejene ali pa jih sploh ni. Ta so celo porasla. Ključne besede: zdravila, cene, regulacija, klasifikacija, Slovenija Objavljeno v RUP: 30.12.2015; Ogledov: 5236; Prenosov: 92 Povezava na celotno besedilo |
