| Inovation Fostering – Key Factor of Development in Croatian Forestry pdf HR EN | 243 | |
| Summary: By Croatia’s approaching to the EU a new and large market is opening, which is full of large potential, but also of great challenges. Modern business in such conditions demands from managers of state and other organizations constant changes and adaptation to the demands of the market, as well as activation of its full capacities and potentials. Forestry is not an exception, and it must, with its own innovations, become competitive and profitable on a global level. Rural development is one of the primary goals of EU, and forestry is directly enrolled in technological, organizational and production and recreational changes which have happened or will happen, in order to secure its development. Global processes which demand adaptation to and opening of the market are set in motion, and in this context forestry needs new products and services with high added value. The innovations are regarded as an instrument which can improve competitiveness of forest products and which can strengthen the development of forestry and wood processing, and in these way secure successful reactions to the challenges, and be a lever of further development of forestry sector. An unfavorable status of innovativeness in state forest management company has been found through testing of the opinions and attitudes of its personnel with academic education. All the three hypotheses which have been stated in the research have been confirmed. In this way the analysis of the key questions from the questionnaire have shown that: Company has a low innovation culture, due to its close to monopolistic position and to its strict hierarchical structure. Employees seldom or not at all think about innovations. If such attempt exists, it is most frequently discouraged by lack of adequate stimulation and by bureaucratic impediments Innovations related to production processes are the most common type of innovations that are being developed within the Company. By this innovations related to organization and marketing, and to the development of new products and services are being neglected. Other findings of the research suggest that 2–4% of interviewees consider that work is being appreciated, and that the level of income depends on the results of work. Approximately same percentage of employees thinks that the Company has a functional system for evaluation of ideas, and that it effectively and in a quick manner make a decision. On the other hand, most of the employees states that there is a potential for innovations, and that the work processes can be improved. As main impediments they stress out lack of financial assets, external sources of funding and lack of information. Compared with other countries of central Europe, a significantly lower level of innovations in Croatia has been observed, especially when it comes to perception of the positive influence of innovation and the success of production. It has to be stipulated that Hrvatske šume Ltd. in 2005 have made an Rule-book on innovative actions. Some of its most important parts state that the Company is entitled to intellectual property if its is made in the process of fulfillment of work obligations; that its author is entitled to a single payment if the innovation demonstrates direct or indirect benefits to the company. It is also prescribed that its author of applied innovation is entitled to 1% of revenues created by its application, and that the Company will financially stimulate the organizational unit which first begins with its implementation in the case that the implementation requires substantial financial resources. With regard to the above stated, a legislative framework does exist; however, a system of incentives, evaluation and of rewarding of gifted individuals does not exist. Accordingly, a system of punishment of irresponsible employees also does not exist. Any kind of development of innovations and creativity in a company rests on quality management of human resources and on a system of evaluation of rewarding of work of individuals. Low percentage of innovations in forestry of Croatia can partly be explained by the main impediments that innovative employees meet: bureaucracy, lack of organizational culture, lack of motivation. By this the potential innovators may abandon their ideas and already started projects, or their will be unable to secure funding and support for the continuation of their activities. For these reasons, as addition to the formulated Rulebook, it is necessary to make a quality program of encouragement and rewarding of creativity, which is a pillar for the innovative culture of a company. This research provides a framework picture of the status of innovativeness in forestry of Croatia. It points out to certain problems, but mainly stipulates to importance of innovations as a means for reaching growth and development, and for creation of competitive advantage compared to other forest companies. Findings of the research point out to a need for further analysis on a bigger sample, and to a need for implementation of a broad research about innovativeness in the management of both public and private forests in the forests in Croatia Key words: creativity; forest economics; innovations in forestry; Innovativeness; creativity; forest economics; innovations in forestry; Innovativeness | ||
