Abstract

Predložena doktorska disertacija nudi novi pristup u analiziranju internacionalizacije poslovanja poduzeća u Republici Hrvatskoj baziranoj na dinamičkim sposobnostima. Za potrebe doktorske disertacije dinamičke sposobnosti definirane su kao kombinacija tehnoloških i menadžerskih sposobnosti dok je internacionalizacija poslovanja pojmljena njezinim užim značenjem odnosno izvoznim poslovima i transgraničnom prodajom hrvatskih poduzeća od ulaska Hrvatske u Europsku Uniju. Tehnološke sposobnosti u ovom radu promatrane su kroz: ulaganje u tehnologiju, ulaganje u istraživanje i razvoj, tehnološka rješenja i učestalost uvođenja novih proizvoda. S druge strane, menadžerske sposobnosti mjerene su temeljem menadžerskog znanja i kapaciteta, poznavanja međunarodnih tržišta i centralizacije odlučivanja. Također, ispitana je veza između tehnoloških sposobnosti i poslovne uspješnosti poduzeća koja se promatrala kroz dobit (gubitak) u odnosu na prethodno razdoblje i promjenu prihoda te povezanost poslovne uspješnosti i internacionalizacije poslovanja poduzeća. U radu je istražen, ne samo izravan utjecaj tehnoloških i menadžerskih sposobnosti na internacionalizaciju poslovanja, nego i povratni utjecaj internacionalizacije na tehnološke i menadžerske sposobnosti poduzeća. Može li se razlučiti važnost povratne veze ili što prethodi čemu, dodatno je pitanje koje je predmet istraživanja u doktoratu.

Abstract (english)

The proposed doctoral dissertation offers a new approach to analyzing firms' business internationalization in the Republic of Croatia based on the dynamic capabilities. For the purposes of the doctoral dissertation dynamic capabilities are defined as a combination of technological and managerial capabilities while business internationalization is conceived with it's narrow meaning, respectively, export businesses and cross-border sales of Croatian firms from Croatian accession to the European Union. Technological capabilities in this study were observed through: investment in technology, investment in research and development, technology solutions and the frequency of new product introductions. On the other hand, managerial capabilities were measured based on managerial knowledge and capacity, comprehesion of international markets and the centralization of decision-making. Also examined is the relationship between technological capabilities and firm's business performance, observed through profit (loss) compared to previous period and the change in revenue, as well as the connection of business performance and the firm's internationalization of business. Thesis explores not only the direct impact of technological and managerial capabilities to the internationalization of business, but also the reverse impact of the internationalization to technological and managerial capabilities of firms'. Is it possible to discern the importance of feedback or what preceded what, is an additional question and also a subject of disertation research.
