THE BIGGEST FAILURES IN MANAGING STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION THE BIGGEST FAILURES IN MANAGING STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract The strategic management process implies the management sta has at least three engagements: de ne, conduct and evaluate applied strategy. However, the most common reasons of rm bankruptcy are linked to wrong implementation and that's why implementation is often de ned as the Achills heel of the strategic management process (Roney, 2004, p. 233). Unfortunately, most strategic planning e orts fail during this crucial phase and rms wast signi cant resources already invested. is paper examines the literature of strategy implementation and post a link between some critical points important to reduce errors in strategy implementation and improve rm performance.

Government bond market development - case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia

Liquid and resilient government bond markets are often defined as an important goal of public debt management. Although similar in many aspects, regulatory frameworks related to financial services in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia are experiencing a time lag in the implementation of the European Union acquis. In addition, these countries have sometimes made different policy choices when it comes to public debt management. This provides a unique opportunity to conduct a cross-dimensional and temporal analysis and assess the impact that different regulatory solutions and policy choices can have on the market. The research demonstrates that despite common and obvious limitations related to market size, the impact of policy and regulatory choices is not negligible. It also demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive strategy integrating factors such as debt structure, liquidity enhancement techniques and quality of the institutional investor base

Ravnopravnost spolova kao jedna od najviših vrednota ustavnog poretka Republike Hrvatske

Unatoč činjenici da je ravnopravnost spolova jedna od najviših vrednota hrvatskog ustavnog poretka, koje kao takve predstavljaju kriterij za tumačenje Ustava Republike Hrvatske, stupanj postignute egalitarnosti još uvijek nije zadovoljavajući. Stoga je fokus rada na normativnom okviru za ravnopravnost spolova kroz podrobnu analizu relevantnih ustavnih i zakonskih odredbi, pri čemu se osobita pozornost posvećuje jurisprudenciji Ustavnog suda Republike Hrvatske. U radu se ukazuje i na probleme implementacije načela ravnopravnosti spolova u praksi, poglavito na tržištu rada u segmentu plaća, te na potrebu za određenim rješenjima de lege lata i de lege ferenda

Uvođenja eura kao službene valute u RH

Republika Hrvatska je putem Ugovora o pristupanju u EU preuzela obvezu uvođenja eura kao službene valute te zakonskog sredstva plaćanja u RH. Kako bi država članica uvela euro kao službenu valutu potrebno je ispuniti određene kriterije kao što su stabilnost cijena i održivost javnih financija. Zakon o uvođenju eura kao službene valute u Republici Hrvatskoj objavljen je u Narodnim novinama 57/22, a stupa na snagu od prvog dana od dana objave odluke Vijeća EU-a o usvajanju eura. Kako se bliži 1. siječanj 2023. godine, kada se u RH očekuje uvođenje eura i prestanak postojanja sadašnje valute kune, u preostalom vremenu potrebna je prilagodba informatičkih i računovodstvenih sustava poduzetnika te poslovnih subjekata opće države, za prelazak na novu valutu, kako bi se osiguralo nesmetano i neprekinuto funkcioniranje gospodarstva

Ustavnosudska zaštita ustavnog i konvencijskog prava na suđenje u razumnom roku

Rad se bavi ustavnosudskom zaštitom ustavnog i konvencijskog prava na suđenje u razumnom roku u Republici Hrvatskoj te se najprije obrađuje Konvencija za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda, a poglavito konvencijsko jamstvo prava na suđenje u razumnom roku kroz jurisprudenciju Europskog suda za ljudska prava. Nakon toga razmatra se ustavno jamstvo prava na suđenje u razumnom roku kroz normativni prikaz njegova razvoja. Podrobno se analizira ustavna tužba kao sredstvo zaštite prava na suđenje u razumnom roku pri čemu se osobita pozornost poklanja kazuistici Ustavnog suda Republike Hrvatske. Konačno, u radu se ukazuje i na probleme uzrokovane postojećim zakonodavnim modelom zaštite prava na suđenje u razumnom roku

MODELLING FROM THE PAST: THE LEANING SOUTWEST TOWER OF CAERPHILLY CASTLE 1539-2015

Caerphilly Castle (1268-70) is the first concentric castle in Britain and the second largest in the UK. The dramatic inclination of its ruinous south west tower has been noted since 1539. Comparing data from historical surveys and a terrestrial laser scan undertaken in 2015, this paper seeks to review evidence for the long-term stability of the tower. Digital documentation and archival research by architects is collated to provide data for structural analysis by engineers. A terrestrial laser scan was used to create a detailed three dimensional finite element model to enable structural analysis of the current shape of the tower made by tetrahedral elements. An automated strategy has been implemented for the transformation of the complex three dimensional point cloud into a three dimensional finite element model. Numerical analysis has been carried out aiming at understanding the main structural weaknesses of the tower in its present condition. Comparisons of four sets of data: 1539, 1830, 1870 and 2015 enabled us to determine change albeit between very different methods of measurement
