20.500.12556/DKUM-65326 The influential knowledge factors of companies' performance in Slovenia Background: Knowledge plays a crucial role in supporting the European Union model based on economic growth, social responsibility, and sustainable development. To improve companies’ performance, one must reflect on new forms of knowledge and develop new indicators to measure them. Objectives: The goal of the paper is to investigate the impact of the selected factors of knowledge on companies’ performance in Slovenia. Methods/Approach: A questionnaire was created and sent to small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovenia. The principle axis factoring method was used to identify the factors of knowledge and of companies’ performance, and a regression analysis was conducted to determine the influence of the selected knowledge factors on companies’ performance. Results: The establishment of scientists’ collaboration with companies has a positive impact on companies’ performance, but the obstacles to the establishment of scientists’ collaboration with companies do not have any impact. Conclusions: The results could be useful for governments and companies in the adoption of measures aimed at strengthening scientists’ collaboration with companies. Further research can be oriented toward the common synergy index (e.g., the knowledge triangle). company performance indicator knowledge transitional economy Slovenia European Union podjetje uspeh razvoj znanje tranzicija Slovenija Evropska unija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2017-03-31 08:41:41 2017-03-31 08:42:51 2022-07-08 03:07:32 2019-07-11 15:06:02 2016 0 0 str. 46-58 št. 1 Letn. 7 2016 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1847-8344 005.336.1 19862758 12284444 10.1515/bsrj-2016-0004 1847-8344 URN:SI:UM:DK:2SO7SFV4 Business_Systems_Research_Journal_2016_Rasic,_Mulej,_Cancer_The_Influential_Knowledge_Factors_of_Companies’_Performance_in_Slovenia.pdf Business_Systems_Research_Journal_2016_Rasic,_Mulej,_Cancer_The_Influential_Knowledge_Factors_of_Companies’_Performance_in_Slovenia.pdf 1 AA4392AA88B71125640B93ADF0C5D618 06263a543779114c876e41ab2ca74d0fb3a37b8230bb0e40f527cd7145eecbf9 0acefb4d-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=110377 http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/bsrj.2016.7.issue-1/bsrj-2016-0004/bsrj-2016-0004.xml 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=110376 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
