20.500.12556/DKUM-97698 Uporaba lateralnega razmišljanja pri preiskovanju gospodarskega hudodelstva kot organizacijska inovacija The use of lateral thinking methods in the investigation of economic crime as an organizational innovation Delo kriminalista je obrt, ki se opravlja na podlagi osebnega znanja, ročnih spretnosti in strokovne usposobljenosti. Vsakokratni končni izdelek pa je »sestavljanka« iz mnogo drobcev, dejstev in okoliščin, povezanih med seboj, ki govori zgodbo iz preteklosti. Vse navedene lastnosti kriminalista so bistvene za spoprijemanje z gospodarsko kriminaliteto, razumevanje njenih spreminjajočih se oblik ter njenega preiskovanja, ki v vseh zahtevnejših oblikah leži na plečih kriminalistične policije. Pri tem se preiskovalci zanašajo izključno na svoje znanje in izkušnje, pridobljene z delom, ki večkrat spominja na brezciljni tek z vedno novimi zaprekami. Kljub vsemu vsakič znova in posebej iščejo načine, kako odgovoriti na vsa kriminalistična vprašanja, s katerimi se razjasni dejansko stanje in odkrijejo sledi oz. dokazi, da so zatrjevane trditve resnične. Odkrite sledi so namreč dokazi, ki ne pozabljajo in se ne pustijo zmesti z razburjenostjo trenutka. Niso nikoli odsotni, kot so človeške priče. Ne morejo prepričati same sebe, samo interpretacija o njih se lahko moti. Človeška napaka je le, da jih ne odkrijemo, ne proučujemo in ne razumemo in s tem zmanjšamo njihovo vrednost. Temeljno orodje za delo kriminalistov tako predstavlja znanje, mišljenje in miselni proces, kot plod človekovega razmišljanja. Z mišljenjem označujemo tisto mentalno aktivnost, s katero poskušamo obvladati oviro, pred katero smo se znašli, ter pri tem uporabimo prejšnje izkustvo. Eno od vrst razmišljanj predstavlja tudi t. i. lateralno razmišljanje, kjer misli prihajajo s strani, kjer se razmišljanje prekriva s kreativnostjo, kjer razmišljanje skuša probleme reševati z iskanjem novih, nepričakovanih ali neobičajnih pristopov. Razmišljanje, katerega cilj je prebijanje ustaljenih vzorcev in spodbujanje ustvarjalnosti. Navedenemu se posvečamo v praktičnem delu naloge, kjer z neposredno izvedbo tehnik lateralnega razmišljanja ugotavljamo, ali njihova uporaba pripomore k boljšemu kreiranju idej pri preiskovanju kaznivih dejanj gospodarske kriminalitete ter iskanju materialnih dokazov. Pridobljeni rezultati so namreč pokazali, da navedena oblika dela predstavlja neizkoriščen potencial, ki istovrstna vprašanja osvetljuje z večino krat prezrtih kotov. Uporaba tehnik lateralnega razmišljanja pri preiskovanju gospodarske kriminalitete je tudi učinkovita alternativa uporabi močnih orodij umetne inteligence. The work of a criminal investigator is a craft based on personal knowledge, practical skills, and professional expertise. Each investigation outcome represents a “mosaic” composed of numerous fragments, facts, and interconnected circumstances that together reconstruct a story from the past. All of these characteristics are essential for addressing economic and financial crime, understanding its evolving forms, and investigating it—particularly in its more complex manifestations, which largely fall under the responsibility of the criminal police. In doing so, investigators rely primarily on their knowledge and experience gained through practice, which often resembles a demanding and uncertain process filled with ever-new obstacles. Nevertheless, they continuously seek ways to answer key investigative questions that clarify the factual situation and lead to the discovery of traces and evidence confirming the validity of the established claims. Traces, once discovered, represent evidence that does not forget and cannot be influenced by the emotions of the moment. Unlike human witnesses, they are never absent. They cannot deceive themselves—only their interpretation can be incorrect. The only human error lies in failing to detect, examine, and understand them, thereby diminishing their evidentiary value. The fundamental tools of criminal investigators are therefore knowledge, thinking, and cognitive processes as products of human reasoning. Thinking can be understood as a mental activity through which individuals attempt to overcome obstacles by applying prior experience. One specific type of thinking is lateral thinking, in which ideas emerge from unconventional directions, overlapping with creativity and aiming to solve problems through new, unexpected, or non-traditional approaches. Its purpose is to break established patterns and stimulate creativity. This concept is explored in the practical part of the thesis, where the direct application of lateral thinking techniques is used to assess whether such methods contribute to more effective idea generation in the investigation of economic and financial crime, particularly in identifying material evidence. The results indicate that this approach represents an underutilized potential, offering new perspectives on issues that are often overlooked. Furthermore, the use of lateral thinking techniques in investigating economic and financial crime presents an effective alternative to the use of advanced artificial intelligence tools. invencija inovacija razmišljevalec lateralno razmišljanje učinkovitost gospodarska kriminaliteta. invention innovation thinker lateral thinking efficiency economic and financial crime. true true false E.
