Abstract

Naslov diplomskog rada „Važnost neuspjeha za budući uspjeh menadžera― daje nam naslutiti filozofije o kojima se u radu piše. Unatrag par godina provodila su se mnoga istraživanja koja dovode do promjene definiranja uspjeha i neuspjeha. Novi redefinirani pojmovi sve su više prihvaćeni u svijetu, no provedenim istraživanjem u radu htjelo se istražiti koliko se novi koncepti zapravo žive, točnije primjenjuju. Ono što se istraživanjima otkrilo su činjenice da su veliki svjetski uspjesi proizašli iz... More neuspjeha i bezbroj pokušaja da se uspije. Danas se razvitkom društva o tome govori, dapače neke kulture neuspjeh potiču. Postojanje korelacije između uspjeha i neuspjeha danas je jasno vidljivo kako bi neuspjeh rezultirao uspjehom potrebno ga je iskorištavati kao element iskustva i učiti iz njega. Novo percipiranje neuspjeha vodi tome da je on jedan korak prema uspjehu, te da je neuspjeh potporni proces uspjeha. Razvijena društva svjesna su prednosti koje neuspjeh donosi, a one se kroz stečeno znanje i iskustvo i karakter koji se formira kod osoba koje su neuspjeh doživjele. Ujedno istraživanja pokazuju kako nije svaki neuspjeh pretvoren u uspjeh, ali oni koji jesu imaju zajednička prepoznatljiva obilježja. Neuspjeh i uspjeh sagledavaju se kroz privatni i poslovni život, kako bi osoba bila uspješna u poslovnom životu važno je da je uspješna i u privatnom, pri čemu treba naglasiti kako mjerila i vrijednosti uspješnosti ili neuspješnosti dolaze od pojedinca. Istraživanje provedeno u sklopu diplomskog rada želi otkriti stupanj primjenjivosti redefiniranih pojmova i koncepata kod uspješnih menadžera koji su priznati od strane struke i dolaze iz tri područja djelovanja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su kod ispitanika prihvaćeni novi koncepti uspjeha i neuspjeha, no ujedno se primjećuje kako je mala spremnost govorenja o osobnim neuspjesima. Na pitanja o neuspjehu, često su se davali općeniti i generalizirani odgovori, što pokazuje kako koncepti nisu u potpunosti zaživjeli u praksi. Less

Abstract (english)

The thesis’s title, ―The Importance of Failure for Managers’ Future Success,‖ hints to the philosophies discussed in it. In recent years many studies have been conducted which have led to a change in the definition of success and failure. There is a growing acceptance of the new redefined terms, but research conducted as part of this thesis has the goal of exploring to what extent the new concepts are lived, or—to be more specific—applied. What research has discovered is that great success is... More the outcome of failures and endless attempts to succeed. Today, with the development of society, it is talked about; in some cultures failure is even endorsed. The existence of a correlation between success and failure is clearly visible today: in order for failure to result in success, it needs to be used as an experience factor and learned from. Seeing failure this way leads to perceiving it as being a step towards success and a backing process for it. Developed societies are aware of the benefits of failure: experience, knowledge acquired, and character lines formed in people who have failed. Research also shows that not every failure has been turned to success, but that those that have been share distinctive features. Success and failure are viewed through private life and business– in order for someone to be successful in business, it is important for them to be successful in their private life (worth noting is that the criteria for success and failure come from the individual). The goal of the research conducted within the thesis is to discover the degree to which the redefined terms and concepts are applied in successful managers of three different fields. The results show that the interviewees have accepted the new concepts of success and failure, but also that they are less ready to discuss personal failures. When asked about failure, they often answered in broad and generalized answers, which proves that these concepts have not been fully applied in practice. Less
