FINANCIRANJE VISOKOG OBRAZOVANJA U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ

In today\u27s world knowledge has become the basic resource of economic development. Hence the need for adequate functioning of higher education system in every modern society. Comparing Croatia with other OECD and EU countries gives additional insights into the position and role of higher education in Croatia\u27s transitional process. In this paper we are focused on the funding system of higher education in Croatia. The paper intends to explain the ratio between budgetary funding and own-source revenues of higher education institutions. In addition to that, we are interested in the criteria for the allocation of budget funds, in the ways of raising own-source revenues, and in the characteristics of the representation of universities\u27 expenditures. Data obtained from the analysis is compared to the desirable role of higher education funding in the implementation of the reform of higher education.U današnjem svijetu znanje je postalo osnovni izvor gospodarskog razvoja. Ta činjenica utječe na potrebu učinkovitog djelovanja sustava visokog obrazovanja u svakom modernom društvu. Usporedba Hrvatske s ostalim OECD i EU zemljama daje nam dodatni uvid u položaj i ulogu visokog obrazovanja u hrvatskom tranzicijskom procesu. Ovaj rad u središte stavlja sustav financiranja visokog obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj, te objašnjava odnos između financiranja iz proračuna te vlastitih prihoda visokoškolskih institucija. Osim toga, zanimaju nas kriteriji za dodjelu sredstava iz proračuna, pribavljanje vlastitih prihoda, te karakteristike prikazivanja rashoda sveučilišta. Podaci dobiveni iz analize smo usporedili s poželjnom ulogom financiranja visokoškolskih institucija u provedbi reforme visokog obrazovanja

Strane izravne investicije u Hrvatskoj-uzroci neuspjeha

Izravna strana ulaganja u posljednjih desetak godina znatno su utjecala na gospodarstva tranzicijskih zemalja, predstavljala su znatan izvor kapitala te u mnogim slučajevima utjecala na ekonomski rast. Učinci su se razlikovali ovisno o obilježjima zemlje primatelja i o vrsti stranih ulaganja. Usporedba Hrvatske s ostalim tranzicijskim zemljama produbljuje spoznaje o mjestu i ulozi stranih ulaganja u hrvatskom tranzicijskom procesu. Hrvatska je privukla zadovoljavajuću veličinu stranih izravnih investicija, ali je većina kapitala investirana u preuzimanja vlasničkih udjela putem privatizacije, čiji prihodi su se trošili za popunjavanje proračunskih manjkova. Nedostaju potpuno nova ulaganja (greenfield investicije) pogotovo u prerađivačke i izvozno orijentirane sektore. U radu se polazi od hipoteze da je uzrok neuspjeha sa stranim ulaganjima u cjelokupnom ekonomskom sustavu: nema strategije razvoja ni ciljeva niti adekvatne makroekonomske politike koja bi implementirala te ciljeve. Zbog toga ni visina niti učinci stranih ulaganja nisu dostigli željenu razinu

STAKE-HOLDERS APPROACH TO CORPORATION AND ECONOMICS

Autor kritički prikazuje dosadašnje rasprave, dosege i probleme vezane uz stakeholderski pristup. Zbog drugačijeg načina organiziranja kapitalističkoga društva, ideje stakeholdinga vraćaju se općim načelima sloboda, zajedništva, jednakosti i solidarnosti, ali se povezuju i sa traženjem sigurnostii stabilnosti u vremenu neprekidnih promjena. Taj pristup dosad se najviše razvio u literaturi o djelovanju korporacija i zadaćama korporacijskog menadžmenta i autor najveći dio članka posvećuje analizi između toga pristupa i drugih koncepata.The main goal of this article is critical review of past discussions, scope and problems correlated to stake-holders approach. Due to different manner of organization of capitalistsociety, ideas of stake-holders return to general principles of freedom, unity and solidarity, but they are also associated with search for safety and stability in time of continuous changes. Stake-holder is a person who has interest(share) in activity of special organizations (entities), and owing to this he can demand to be informed and consulted about activity of organization and to participate in decision-making. So far, stake-holders approach developed most in literature which described activity of corporations and tasks of corporation management. Therefore, the article mostly dealswith analysis of differences between this approach and other concepts of majority of disputable questions of activity of corporation and principles of stake-holders management. Somewhat modest results have been achieved in conceiving stake-holders economy. It exists there where reciprocity of equities and obligations is built around the concept of economic, social and political integration, aimed to correct defficiencies of market. Problems appear due to different levels on which stake-holders integration develops. The higher level is (sector, national economics, supernational associations) the more difficult realization of interest of particular stake-holder is. The concluding part discusses several essential disputable questions and critiques of stake-holders approach, pointing out here objective difficulties which influence scientific contributions of this approach. The contributions of this approach are pointed out as well: a) empirical research of corporation management and, b) analysis of privatization of public enterprises, what can be effcient approach for solution of the same problems in East European transitional countries
