It can be achieved by including forestry personnel into the working groups, ad hoc groups or teams especially when the development and application of local norms is the issue. Organization - an approach to organize forestries into the profit centres with liberal organization scheme is suggested, as well as more modern forms of organization (project organization, Free Form Design). Managing the human resources - to define and enable for the qualified personnel the conditions of professional development and improvement applying the principle of permanent and whole life education. Leadership - team effort should be emphasized, supported and followed by stimulating bonuses as a reward. Control - the function of natural and financial control should be implemented by means of correct and timely system of information applying the systems and norms of quality control (such as ISO standard). On the basis of these researches and analysis the following general conclusions in connection with the improvement of forestry office business operation, were drawn: 1. the improvement of forestry office business operation is welcome, necessary, and inevitable in the light of further development of management functions within the frame of contemporary management concepts as well as constantly changable circumstances of business operation and conditions of environment and millieu; 2. business operation improvement is of the utmost importance as the operative support in the forthcoming restructuring of the firm; 3. business operation improvement must be supported by human resources whose qualifications, further stimulated by organizational and motivational means, play the crucial role in the forthcoming breakthrough; 4. the improvement of business operation mostly entails transformation of the managing functions in order to achieve better adjustment to the targets of modern multifunctional forestry as stated in the conditions of approved FSC certificate, which tends to be the mode of socially responsible forestry managing; as well as it entails the adjustment ond acquirement of the quality control norms (ISO 9000:2001; ISO 14000); 5. each improvement of forestry office business operation should proceed from location and position of the basic unit within the business operating system where the basic public and commercial activities of forestry department have been performed; 6. evaluation of possible contributions in the improvement of each and every management function should comprise the best examples of its realization in everyday practice within the comparative fields of activities constantly bearing in mind Croatian orientation for the concept of integral and multipurpose managing of forests and forestry resources; 7. improvement of business operation must equally refer to the commercial aspect of forestry office operation, as well as to its public educational function within the given environment so that it can motivate and inform this public about the importance of protection and preservation of forests in order to win it over and convince it that it is essential to have expert and responsible forestry management by competent forestry science and practice. | ||
