4 A WORD FROM THE VICE-DEAN

The year has drawn to an end, the FELU community has taken a well-deserved break, and the campus is a little quieter. These moments are often the best times for reflection on the year behind – and what a successful year it has been!

The FELU’s Ph.D. program has performed to high standards. The Ph.D. program boasted 14 graduates in 2017. These alumni are just one example of our commitment to research with impact, as these students return to industry, not just as leaders, but as thought-leaders, ready to apply theory and research to business problems. Also, some of the PhD graduates have accepted opportunities to teach and conduct research abroad.

The FELU faculty has brought significant pride with achievements in research this year.

FELU researchers continue to produce publications in premium and top-tier journals, such as Human Resource Management, Human Resource Management Journal, Journal of Travel Research, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, The Leadership Quarterly, and more. Overall, over 22% of this year’s publications were top-quality.

In terms of attracting national research funds, half of FELU’s Research Program Groups were up for re-evaluation and all of them achieved excellent scores and extended financing from Slovenian Research Agency for a period of six years. Moreover, the agency awarded an additional three-year Research Project grant, making it a total of 28 active Research Projects in 2017. These are just a few of the school’s achievements in research this year. Congratulations to all of the faculty for their numerous publications, citations, paper downloads, and grant awards.

We continue to seek out new and innovative ideas from all across the globe and as we look ahead, it’s clear that FELU research and academics will continue to grow and persevere.

Congratulations to the students, faculty, and staff of the FELU’s research community for a successful year!

8 FELU – THE RESEARCH CENTRE

FELU is the largest national research institution for business and economics in Slovenia.

Research is one of FELU’s core activities that support its mission and vision, and as such it is integrated in all strategic activities. FELU’s strategic direction is to contribute to the progress and sustainable development of wider community through impactful research, and it co-created value for the business community though applied research.

FELU researchers have to prove their international relevance and impact because these are the main criteria in the Habilitation process. Resources are dedicated and the mechanisms to support research excellence are in place. Trends in research output over the last five years prove that resources are used effectively because the quality of research is constantly improving. FELU creates and disseminates knowledge to students by researchers sharing their findings as a part of the programme delivery, and by including students in research activities. In line with FELU’s strategy, research is international, multi- and-interdisciplinary, with a focus on sustainability topics, and in accordance with ethical standards.

Research at FELU is organised around the Research Centre of the Faculty of Economics (RCEF), the group which guides research in accordance with FELU’s strategic plan, and is the direct responsibility of the Vice Dean for Research and Doctoral Studies, who is the head of the RCEF. Research activities are monitored and evaluated by the Research and Doctoral Programme Committee which, together with the Senate and FELU management, determines the research policy and directions in accordance with FELU’s strategy.

To support FELU’s mission and vision, the RCEF concentrates its efforts on empowering individual researchers and research programme groups (see Section 4) to take an active role in the implementation of FELU’s strategy. Actions include creating the means for individual researchers to create and disseminate research, setting the conditions for research groups to attain academic excellence, and impacting the research community, as well as actions that enrich the student experience and the FELU community at large.

The research agenda of each Research Programme Group is embedded in the conceptual context of the respective area/fields the group covers. The Vice Dean for Research and Doctoral Studies coordinates research directions with the six heads of the research groups to ensure that research within these directions are aligned with FELU. The research organisation at FELU is diagrammed in Figure 1.

10 RESEARCH GROUPS

FELU has identified institutional focus areas around which the school plans its core ecosystem (educational programmes, research, community involvement), and has already established clear strengths and expertise within these areas. The FELU’s identified Areas of Distinctive Expertise are competitiveness, innovativeness and sustainability, leadership, knowledge management and work organisation, business process management in organisations and supply chains, and globalisation, trade and international financial markets. These areas of expertise offer a clear path for development of the school.

FELU’s structured six Research Programme Groups around the Areas of Distinctive Expertise focusing on: sustainable competitiveness, sustainable development, corporate governance, organisational learning & knowledge management, IT-enabled business process management, Challenges of stakeholders in an uncertain European economic environment, and Development strategy of Slovenia. These research programme groups operationalise FELU research and are linked to the areas of expertise presented above. Moreover, they are in line with FELU’s mission, vision, values and drivers of impact. 69 per cent of FELU researchers are members of one of the research programme groups. The research programme groups are officially registered with SRA. The research programme groups have demonstrated their ability to create high-level academic and applied research that importantly impacts FELU’s educational programmes, organisation, and environments.

6 Research Programme Groups around the Areas of Distinctive Expertise

The research programme group Challenges of inclusive sustainable development in the predominant paradigm of economic and business sciences aims to: (1) critically evaluate challenges of inclusive sustainable development in mainstream economic and business theories, and propose alternative/extended theoretical foundations for corporate, consumer (citizen), national economy and state behaviour in the context of emerging global trends (i.e. shift of global interests from solely environmental to more general social components of sustainability, out-of-equilibrium economic dynamics, technological learning, and dynamic increasing returns); (2) develop methodological tools and examine their efficiency, as well as provide empirical verification of the proposed models; (3) offer theoretical guidelines and empirical conclusions to support Slovenian companies, consumers, and the country in building an inclusive sustainable growth model, taking into account the nature and specifics of the Slovenian economy.

The research group’s goals are to provide scientific contributions, in addition to contributions for socio-economic development through improved understanding of sustainable development, inclusive growth, and life quality in the applied interdisciplinary framework.

The research programme group Sustainable competitiveness of the Slovenian economy in European and global perspectives investigates aims to create knowledge in three pillars of sustainable competitiveness and inclusive growth, namely, firm competitiveness and performance, equality, and sustainable use and management of resources. Each pillar is considered from multiple perspectives building on the group’s interdisciplinary background, entailing different levels of analysis – macro, industry, the firm, and the individual – and encompassing the modern approach to the structural factors of competitiveness. The first pillar examines the impact of labor, internationalisation, innovation, and entrepreneurial finance on firm performance.

The second pillar aims to study the impact of firms’ internationalisation strategy and innovation activity on the evolution of intra- and inter-firm wage inequality; to establish

11

the outcomes of size-based inequality among firms on their competitiveness, business performance, and survival; and to develop and empirically validate a new model of macroeconomic inequality among Eurozone countries that builds on the economic exploitation concept, and which tries to explain the effects of economic policies on the changes in the structure of economic sectors. In pillar three, the aim is to determine the drivers and barriers of energy efficiency at the level of households and firms.

The recent changes in the ever-increasing pace of global transformation, either in the socio-economic, political or technological sense, pose new challenges to non-financial companies, financial institutions, government, and individuals. The research programme group Challenges of investors, firms, financial institutions, and a government in an uncertain European economic environment aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice around three groups of challenges: first, socio-economic and financial challenges arising from the “new normal” (altered post-crisis environment, combined with ongoing sustainability issues); secondly, institutional and political challenges in the EU and around the World (rise of populism, Brexit, etc.); and finally, the research group investigates the challenges related to technological advances that have an impact on financial institutions, markets, and hence, individuals and societies. The focus of the research spans both micro and macroeconomic levels, and national and international perspectives. It also branches out from predominantly finance and accounting topics to other research fields/disciplines, such as innovation, sustainability, cognitive and behavioural sciences, and data science. Such ‘cross-pollination’ allows the group to enrich the methodological approaches and tackle novel research questions in order to address the increasing challenges that investors, corporations, financial institutions, and governments are being faced with.

The research programme group Impact of corporate governance, organisational learning, and knowledge management on modern organisations deals with the questions of how to design sustainable organisations for the future. The group aims to advance the body of knowledge on: 1) the influence of dynamic capabilities on competitive advantages of companies in a highly turbulent environment; 2) hiding influence on the level of creativity, drop of creative ideas, and idea implementation; 3) non-technological innovations and their relation to the development of novel organisational structures; 4) conscious and unconscious (un)ethical behaviour in organisations; 5) the prosocial and proactive behaviours of employees; 6) role of multiple intelligences in the context of knowledge management; 7) work-family dynamics; 8) quality management and management control systems; 11) authentic leadership, learning organisation, neuroleadership, and 12) characteristics of learning organisation, organisational learning, and environmental situational factors. The research spans both the fields of knowledge management and innovation management, thus providing a holistic contribution to the phenomenon.

12

The aim of the research group Future internet technologies: concepts, architectures, services, and socio-economic issues is to advance the current knowledge of the concepts, models, applications, and services for the dynamic IT and sustainable business environments. The main research themes surround: 1) the development of secure infrastructure building blocks and the concept of trusted services with required

quality assurance level for the identified dynamic environments; 2) the interoperability of data and security services designed for specific, dedicated dynamic networks and systems such as the first responder and rescue agencies systems, and with the socioeconomic studies that accompany the evolution of these new systems together with their adoption, business use, and other applications in society; and 3) the development of the EU research agenda and roadmap for cybercrime prevention, with contributions from the Slovenian ecosystem’s characteristics. This is a multi-disciplinary group that includes researchers from management and computer science to adequately advance the knowledge of both scientific fields.

The research programme group New development strategy of Slovenia as a member of the EU aims to create new basic knowledge and to perform top level internationally recognised research in the field of economics. The group is focused on areas which are important for the societal, economic, social, and sustainable development of Slovenia.

The use of fundamental knowledge and advanced scientific methods in applied and development projects are exceptionally important in the education and training of young researchers, in addition to the pedagogic process at universities. Following the aims of the new development strategy of Slovenia 2014-2020, the research programme group advances current knowledge through: 1) the analysis of economic, social, and environmental development factors, as well as through intergenerational and spatial dimensions of sustainable development, and through 2) the investigation, development, and use of adequate methodologies and tools. Completed scientific research shows the originality of the methods used and the wide international repercussions along with the actual impact of the prepared studies on the activities of particular ministries.

The research work is also reflected in the intensive transfer of the acquired theoretical and practical findings into the educational process within several Slovenian universities.

projects commissioned by the EC and other international funding bodies

research projects commissioned by the Slovenian Research Agency

projects commissioned by various ministries, agencies and corporate clients

To increase the number of multidisciplinary research projects, FELU allocated additional funding to implement the first call for internal multidisciplinary research projects. In the selection, projects received additional points for the participation of doctoral students, for the participation of foreign researchers from EQ-UIS-accredited schools, if the project head was younger than 35 years of age, and for a project’s multidisciplinarity. Out of 17 proposals, eight projects were selected for funding. The list of selected internal projects is in the Appendix.

Bellow, a short description of the selected projects is presented.

Project: AGENTA - Ageing Europe: An application of national transfer accounts (NTA) for explaining and projecting trends in public finances Principal Investigator at FELU: Jože Sambt Funding Entity: European Commission Amount for FELU: 213.497 € Project Timeframe: 2014 - 2017 Age dimension is becoming increasingly important to analyse economic consequences of population ageing in European societies. The AGENTA project uses the new method of National Transfer Accounts (NTA) to decompose economic categories of income and production by AGE. The difference between consumption and labour income (i.e. life cycle deficit) is financed through age reallocation of resources in the form of: • public transfers – publicly financed education, pensions, health care, long term care etc.; • private transfers – especially parents financing the consumption of their children; • asset based reallocations – interests on investments, selling property, borrowing resources, etc.

There is a general pattern that working age individuals finance life cycle deficits of children and old. However, there is a great cross country variability in the length of the age span of economic independence and in the importance of the three channels for financing the life cycle deficit.

The public sector cannot be fully understood without taking into account nonpublic institutions (particularly households). The novelty of the NTA approach is, among others, a comprehensive measurement of intergenerational transfers within households. In the AGENTA project we not only provide completely comparable and publically available results for 25 EU countries but we also add production in form of unpaid household labour (cooking, cleaning, childcare etc.). This goes beyond the categories of gross domestic product (GDP) to provide comprehensive picture about flows of resources across generations. Taking into account unpaid household labour was a necessary step for introducing gender dimension into the NTA analysis.

The comparable results for EU countries are interesting as such, but they are also an

17

important input for further research. Already within the AGENTA project the indicators of sustainability and fairness were introduced – for example NTA support ratio that takes into account actual consumption and production by countries instead of using demographically defined fixed age limits of economic (in)activity. Furthermore, the AGENTA results were used for calibrating macroeconomic models, such as OLG model.

Moreover, by combining the AGENTA results with population projections the long-term sustainability and reform scenarios were analysed. The output of the project is strongly policy oriented, offering an AGENDA for preparing for old-age societies.

Project: ISIGrowth - Innovation-fuelled, Sustainable, Inclusive Growth Principal Investigator at FELU: Patricia Kotnik Funding Entity: European Commission Amount for FELU: 350.000 € Project Timeframe: 2015 - 2018 The main goal of ISIGrowth was twofold. First, to provide novel and comprehensive diagnostics of the relationships among innovation, employment dynamics and growth in an increasingly globalized and financialised world economy. Second, on the basis of such diagnostics, to elaborate policy scenarios and to deliver a coherent policy toolkit to achieve the Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

The work of the FELU group focused on providing evidence on the financialization of the real economy, in various manifestations, and observing how it affects the relation between those economic actors who create value and those who extract value, and the impact of the resultant distribution of income on innovation and growth of firms.

Most of our work uses the theory of innovative enterprise framework, developed by William Lazonick. It proposes that the allocation of resources and returns in business enterprise are central to the operation and performance of the economy in which these firms operate, and places the analytical focus on three social conditions that can enable the firm to create value by generating innovative—i.e., higher quality, lower cost— goods and services. First, strategic control, which analyzes the abilities and incentives of executives to allocate resources to innovative investment strategies in the face of uncertainty. Second, organizational integration, which analyzes the employment and reward systems that enable and motivate employees to engage in collective learning.

And third, financial commitment, which analyzes sustained commitment of financial resources needed to support the collective organization in cumulative learning from the time investment strategies are undertaken until innovative products generate financial returns.

Our group provides evidence on financialization in Europe that can be shown to undermine value creation in companies, building on the more fully-developed analysis in which we have been engaged of this process in the United States. We have done work on distributions to shareholders in the forms of dividends and stock buybacks in the largest European firms, and we have gathered empirical data on the stock-based components of executive compensation that may be incentivizing these distributions to shareholders in those companies. We argue that these distributions to shareholders can undermine the three social conditions of innovative enterprise, and hence the innovative performance of these European companies.

From this perspective, a number of our studies address the dilemma of “innovation vs. financialization” in the context of leading companies in pharmaceuticals and communication technology engaged in global competition. Our work on US pharma companies shows the adverse effects on innovation of their highly financialized business models. The US companies justify unregulated, and hence high, drug prices by claiming they need large profits for R&D, when in fact they allocate these profits to distributions to shareholders, including massive stock repurchases. Our research on the European pharma companies concludes that they are less financialized and are even making use of the US institutional environment characterized by high drug prices and large-scale government support of life-sciences research to outcompete the US companies in their home market. Our research on the communication technology industry shows the relevance of national policies in creating the technology platforms that enable companies to innovate in global competition. Our survey of the operation

18

and performance of 16 leading communication-technology firms reveals that companies that have become highly financialized, as manifested by distributions to shareholders, have lost out in global competition, while non-financialized companies—most notably Huawei of China and Ericsson of Sweden, have gained competitive advantage through innovation.

The FELU group also studies the impact of different types of finance on firm performance.

An empirical study of European high-tech entrepreneurial firms examines whether an acquisition by a corporate investor promotes firm growth and whether the effect on growth differs from that of an acquisition by a financial buyer. We conclude our work with a focus on policy issues, asking whether government support results in innovation or financialization of technology firms and explicating the policy implications of the findings of the FELU group.

Project: GETM3 - Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management 3 Principal Investigator at FELU: Katarina Katja Mihelič Funding Entity: European Commission Amount for FELU: 130.410 € Project Timeframe: 2017 - 2020 Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management 3 (GETM3) is an international, interdisciplinary research project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. It is aimed at increasing employability of global talent, further developing talent management practices in companies as well as fostering entrepreneurial mindset in order to support economic development. With CEOs and HR specialists reporting skill shortages, they are finding it increasingly difficult to attract, manage and retain young talent. For this reason, the GETM3 project brings young talents to the forefront: they are well-educated, have a global mindset and are eager to work in a company which attempts to make a broader impact in the society. Talent, a key driver of future development, which is at the core of the project, is developed and nurtured through co-operation of 3 stakeholders: employers (including MNC & SME’s), universities and students/graduates.

This three-pillar perspective enables a comprehensive analysis of the current situation in the business and educational realm, which is done through a 15 partner consortium; comprising of a transnational, inter-disciplinary, inter-generational, gender balanced and inter-sectorial research team. A truly global project, GETM3 connects academic and business partners from the Ireland, Poland, Slovenia, United Kingdom, and South Korea who meet quarterly to network and disseminate research findings. In September 2017 a very successful sandpit was organized at FELU focusing on state-of-the-art methodological approaches that facilitate conducting impactful research.

FELU and its researchers are responsible for one of the three pillars in the project.

Work package 4, which is concerned with the Employers’ perspective on talent intends to improve matching of employers’ and young employees’ expectations and develop a holistic talent management framework. Researchers from various partner institutions are committed to provide an in-depth insight into psychological contracts, i.e. the expectations that employers have of their young talents’ actions and behaviours, and vice versa, the expectations that young employees hold about the job content, working conditions, and opportunities the employer should provide. Unpacking the perceptions about obligations is important because it improves person-organization fit and reduces mismatches, thereby leading to employees’ productivity, engagement and thriving on the one hand, and improved organizational performance on the other.

Project: Total factor productivity in Slovenian firms Principal Investigator: Polona Domadenik Funding Entity: EC, DC ECFIN - Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs Amount: 14.900 € Project Timeframe: 2016 - 2017 The study analyzed the evolution of total factor productivity in Slovenian firms in the period of 1994-2015 identifying factors that disentangle more and less productive industries and firms. Our analysis suggests that the productivity of Slovenian firms, measured as the residual (unexplained) term of the production function, has been increasing over the period 1994-2015. Based on the Levinsohn-Petrin methodology, our results clearly confirm the hypothesis that size, export orientation, foreign ownership and R&D activity have been important drivers of firms’ strong TFP growth during this period.

Our regression analysis confirms that foreign owned firms, firms with identifiable R&D activities and de novo firms (firms that were not privatised during the 1990s) were more productive than their counterparts, with this effect being found to be significant in the pre-crisis period. In addition, firms with higher investment and R&D activity reported higher productivity also in the period 2009-2015. Interestingly, state owned firms (SOEs) and firms that received subsidies reported significantly lower productivity in comparison with other firms of similar size, same industry and region between 2009 and 2015. The robustness of these results was confirmed by the multilevel analysis.

Besides firm level factors, also economic environment plays a crucial role in explaining variations of firm level productivity in the longer run. Building sound institutional system that supports business activities is important to achieve persistent growth of firms’ productivity in the long run and to mitigate negative trends during the bust period. An important insight also relates to efficiency of state aid as it was found that subsidies did not significantly increase firm-level productivity, once size, industry and year effects are taken into account.

Project: Fair Labor in the Digitized Economy Principal Investigator at FELU: Matej Černe Funding Entity: The Research Council of Norway Amount for FELU: 23.529 € Project Timeframe: 2015 - 2019 With funding granted by the Research Council of Norway, this four-year research project “Fair Labor in the Digitized Economy” focuses on how society can ensure fair labor conditions while transitioning into a fully digitized economy.

As new technologies develop, altering forms of collaboration between people and machines, many voices within the academic and professional spheres claim that these advances will trigger an era of accelerated innovation and disruption, comparable to the industrial revolution. Already, the concepts of work, labor, and employment are evolving and technology is unravelling many traditional expectations of what it means to have a ‘career’ or even a ‘job’. Organizations across the industrial spectrum are reflecting this new reality, with some being quick to celebrate the new opportunities which come with technological changes, while some staunchly resist the advance of ‘job-destroying robots’. At the same time, the characteristics of digitized labor call into question findings established in the research of the corporate responsibilities that traditional organizations have for their employees, with large portions of the former workforce now outside of the traditional nexus of the firm, but still dependent on organizational actors.

This project focuses on the effect of technology’s on new forms of labor in terms of what trends are shaping future labor markets, what constitutes desirable forms of labor, and whether any corporate social responsibilities could be derived to accommodate fair and effective forms of work in an increasingly digital labor market. Overall, our research project is interested in new precarious employment emerging in the digital

20

space, its set-up, context and implications for the workers, employers (traditional organizations that are being digitally-transformed and digital platforms) and the society. The aim of the project is to develop and promote a new technology-driven perspective to workers’ rights and business ethics research while remaining sensitive to corporate necessities.

Within our broad focus on the digital economy, we embrace a diversity of cutting-edge research topics. Our efforts are concentrated in six areas of inquiry, each interrelated and at the intersection of Internet and society research. Our cross-disciplinary research helps in forming a cohesive picture of the wider fair labor debates, enabling a clearer understanding of the complex and developing phenomena which pertain to the Internet and its impact on the labor landscape: 1) Pathways to participation. The creation and sharing of user-generated content is the key lifeline of the digital economy. In our ongoing research efforts, we investigate user behavior and participation divides, with a particular focus on the social and psychological drivers.

2) Fair work in the on-demand economy. The on-demand economy is enabling new forms of flexible employment. In some aspects this can be empowering, but workers face unknown risks and disadvantages. Our research focuses on sharing and internetmediated micro-entrepreneurship.

3) New forms of digital leadership. As virtual teamwork becomes more frequent, team exclusion, reduced feelings of ‘belonging’, and knowledge sharing are all challenges which need to be faced. Our research focuses on giving leaders hands-on advice on how to lead a fair virtual team.

4) The future of work: Robotics and artificial intelligence. New technologies increasingly allow for the automation of cognitive tasks previously reserved for human workers. We investigate how this may improve workers’ performance and well-being, reconfigure education systems, and alter social interactions.

5) Thresholds. Young people are exploring what it means to be producers, consumers, and products in the digital economy. We research the blurred boundaries between work, play, and hobbies, focusing on the exploitative potential of social activity online.

6) Quantified identities. Globally, millions of people are tracking their daily behaviors in a process called ‘self-quantification’. We are studying the stages which make up this complex process and its implications for self-perception, privacy, and the work environment.

Project: When is blockholding growth enhanced?

Principal Investigator: Janez Prašnikar Funding Entity: Slovenian Research Agency Amount: 253.332 € Project Timeframe: 2017 - 2020 The term macroprudential regulation marks an approach to regulation, which aims to mitigate the risk of the financial system as a whole. The modern crisis (2008) increased the consensus among policymakers and economic researchers that it is necessary to alter the regulatory framework towards a macroprudential perspective. Thus, the key question became which macroprudential policy instruments to use for the recovery, after the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, to be robust. The research project addresses three areas that are key to achieving macroeconomic stability (not only in Slovenia), and which area’s editing falls within the framework of macroprudential regulation (Stiglitz, Greenwald, 2014). These areas are: 1) blockholding as the dominant form of ownership of companies; 2) the reduction of bank loans to new corporate investment; 3) state subsidies.

The area of concentrated ownership and its role in the modern economy has come to the fore in the last two decades in the field of economics (Holderness, 2003).

Nevertheless, the current literature on blockholding and multiple controls and their influence on efficiency of firms do not follow the growing interest and need for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. Therefore, this project area will pursue the following three main objectives: 1) developing a theoretical model of an effective minimum control coalition; 2) analyzing differences in total factor productivity (TFP) between firms with different types of minimum controlling coalitions and also firms with dispersed ownership in Slovenia in the period 2006-2016; 3) analyzing debt (de) accumulation between firms with different types of minimum controlling coalitions in Slovenia in the period 2006-2016. The area of reduced bank lending to corporate investments (especially to SMEs) has an important impact on the macroeconomic environment, as investments represent the most volatile component of gross domestic product. The research project will make an important contribution to the existing literature by looking at what drives the supply of bank credit to households and firms in emerging economies before and during the turmoil of the latest financial crisis, as well as its aftermath. This will be done by pursuing the following objectives: 1) the development of a theoretical model that will be based on the tradition of Mundell and Fleming (Mundell, 1963; Fleming, 1962, Dornbusch, 1976) and will include banks as intermediaries; 2) the identification of the role of capital inflows in the period of economic boom and the massive reversal of capital; 3) the identification of the main drivers of excessive bank lending; 4) the identification of supply-side factors’ effects, demand-side factors’ effects, and country specific effects on firm and household credit growth. The discussion regarding state subsidies re-emerged in the last decade, mostly being initiated by an increasing awareness of climate change (Aghion et al., 2011). Also, the crisis showed that markets were not necessarily efficient and, indeed, there was a broad consensus that without strong government intervention – which includes lifelines to certain firms and certain industries –many developed economies in Europe and the US may have collapsed (Stiglitz and Greenwald, 2014). The research project will have significant contributions in the fields of subsidies, the comparison of different subsidy policies, and the impact of subsidies on the adjustment process during the business cycle.

All three presented areas of research are intertwined and represent important pieces in the puzzle of macroeconomic stability.

Project: Influence of formal and informal corporate communications on capital markets Principal Investigator: Aljoša Valentinčič Funding Entity: Slovenian Research Agency Amount: 175.248 € Project Timeframe: 2016 - 2018 The goal of our research is to study the importance of informal communications, including unregulated parts of annual reports for capital markets. The main goal of financial reporting in the financial system is to ensure high-quality, useful information about the financial position of firms, their performance and changes in their financial position is available (IASB Framework 2015) to a wide range of users, including existing and potential investors, financial institutions, employees, the government, etc. Formal reports contain both strictly regulated, financial sections, as well as unregulated, narrative parts. Our research starts from the hypothesis that informal communications are useful for capital markets, too, and that there is a relation between business performance and linguistic properties of unregulated parts of annual reports. However, formal communications with capital markets do have weaknesses: direct and indirect costs, strict timelines (leading to a reporting delay between economic events and reporting dates), important information is omitted from these reports due to certain properties of formal rules of financial reporting. Accordingly, we expand our research to include informal forms of communications such as posts on social networks and financial blogs. These focus on the short-term aspects of our study. On the long-(er)term side, we will focus on the explanatory and predictive power of narratives in annual reports. We use the methods of artificial intelligence - classification models, predictive machine learning. We focus on transparent models that enable interpretation by domain experts. In data model construction the methods will use frequency based features and sentiment analysis (crucial for informal communication on social media), as well as more complex linguistic markers, such as referential vagueness (expressed by e.g. passive constructions and nominalisation), pronouns, adjective superlatives, specific collocations, etc. that are important especially in unregulated textual annual reports. Our research is innovative precisely because it relates linguistic properties and machine learning to capital markets and then relates these findings to the formal financial reporting system, to unregulated parts of formal reports and to other informal forms of communication. Despite the importance of this information to capital markets, there are relatively few academic studies in this area and several take very partial approaches. If this information is important for the capital markets, they should be reflected in share prices, lower variability of share prices and thus lower risk, higher volume of trading, etc., which all leads to lower costs of capital, increases the amount of profitable investment opportunities for firms, ultimately leading to higher GDP growth. Our research has implications for a large part of the economic system. The size of EU capital markets is 52% of GDP and the size of debt-securities markets 79% of GDP (ECB 2015). Our research aims to overcome uncertainty in capital markets and increase the quality of information available to investors. The key outcome of this is lower cost of capital, which increases firms’ investment, and more investments leads to higher economic growth (gross domestic product).

Project: Big Data Analytics: From Insights to Business Process Agility Principal Investigator: Aleš Popovič Funding Entity: Slovenian Research Agency Amount: 156.112 € Project Timeframe: 2016 - 2018 As highly competitive environments force firms to move more rapidly and boldly, and to experiment, firms are increasingly seeking ways to quickly respond to accelerating competition. Literature, thus, increasingly advises firms to focus on the development of organizational agility as a strategic capability.

A form of organizational agility that is of particular relevance to firms is business process agility where data-driven insights are regularly emphasized as drivers for innovation and agility. Accordingly, business intelligence and analytics, and the related field of big data analytics have become increasingly important in both the academic and the business communities.

While prior research has suggested big data analytics and IT infrastructure flexibility are the two important sources of an organization’s agility (X. Chen & Siau, 2011), several challenges regarding big data analytical capabilities, as well as understanding the processes and factors enabling, facilitating, or impeding successful adoption and utilization of big data analytics remain unanswered. The wealth of possibilities enabled by big data analytics will not be fully exploited without a deeper understanding of the organizational environment, management issues, technological capabilities, and human behavior.

To advance the current state of the field, the proposed project is focused on investigating what must an organization do right in order to develop appropriate big data analytical capabilities so as to fully leverage the functionality of big data analytics in enabling the agility of its business processes. We identify four key themes that frame our research: (1) The business value of big data and big data analytics. The goal is to understand the potential impacts and value of big data and big data analytics in achieving and sustaining competitive advantage in various high-impact industries (e.g. energy, healthcare).

(2) Embeddedness as key mechanism for utilizing big data analytics for designing agile business processes. We seek to identify the determinants of business intelligence and analytics embeddedness to facilitate the development of a framework for adopting big data analytics.

(3) The role of organizational characteristics in improving business process agility through big data analytics. We aim to understand how various organizational characteristics influence (i.e., promote or hinder) big data analytical capabilities for changing an organization’s business processes as to make them more agile.

(4) Developing big data analysis methods to fuel the increasing business process information needs. Our goal is to reach beyond current methods to analyze and acquire information from big data (descriptive and predictive analytics) to develop automated methods that enable prescriptive analytics.

We believe that the proposed project will provoke researchers from various fields to step up their collaborative efforts and will provide a platform to lead the next generation of insights around the role of big data analytics in facilitating business process agility. The content area of business intelligence and analytics has been recognized within Horizon 2020 ICT work program as a very important, yet, still understudied area addressing the fundamental research problems related to the scalability and responsiveness of analytical capabilities for organizational performance.

Project: Business transformation - from business models to innovative processes Principal Investigator: Peter Trkman Funding Entity: Slovenian Research Agency Amount: 150.480 € Project Timeframe: 2014 - 2017 The core research project was a multidisciplinary investigation of the topics of business models, organizational change, and business process management (BPM). The project goals were divided into five thematically connected sections, each of them focusing on a different perspective of organizations implementing business process change.

The project included a broad exploration of the BPM discipline – from its origins to the current state, we aspired to gain a realistic overview of the development of research on BPM to examine if it truly is as holistic as professed. A novel methodology for analyzing the development and future trends of the research field yielded interesting results on the current state and proposed future ways of BPM development. The project focused on investigating possible ways in which a company can improve its business models and develop new models for managing business. Focusing also on the human factor in changing business processes, the behaviors of employees were examined. In order to introduce changes in the processes within the company, a deep understanding of the behavior of people is needed. Keeping in line with the behavioral aspect, the project included exploring the possibilities of social networks. Since social media has a strong influence on the behavior of individuals within the company, we have verified the possibilities of connecting employees at different stages of the business process cycle. In order for companies to make better decisions, more attention also needs to be paid to deepening the understanding of individual actors’ behavior. Honing on the role of irrational actors in carrying out operations, the final part of the project investigated the influence of personality characteristics on the gap between rational measures and measures of irrational actors.

Several different research methods were used, such as literature review and classification by applying a co-citation method, qualitative case studies, an experiment, survey, and conceptual modeling. Empowered by the results, companies can now identify the best approach to implement change as well as approaches to guiding and motivating employee behavior. The research work has brought important new insights into several areas: business processes management, business models and organizational changes.

The core research project contributed to several achievements, one of the most prominent being a paper by the project leader, which was ranked top 5 most influential papers (all-time) on Supply chain risk management. In addition to that, the project leader’s paper is the most-cited research work on integration of big data in business process management- Another two papers of the project members are ranked top 5 among the research work on analytical capabilities in supply chains. Project members compiled two more papers that on the list of “Highly Cited of Web of Science”, and another eight papers can be found in the top 1 % in Scopus citations.

Project: In search of sustainable and responsible consumption (SRC) Principal Investigator: Vesna Žabkar Funding Entity: Slovenian Research Agency Amount: 87.710 € Project Timeframe: 2016 - 2018 The field of sustainable consumption and production has been developing rapidly in recent years. Intensive development and various ethical aspects of sustainability have created many inconsistencies, contradictions and ambiguities. Researchers and experts from practice often confront some basic questions such as: What are the dimensions of sustainability? Who is responsible for sustainable development? What is the role of consumers and companies in this process?

Current research is lacking a holistic perspective, connecting all stakeholders in order to achieve sustainable responsible consumption. Due to the steadily evolving concept of sustainability and global systemic changes in markets and lifestyles, the sustainability concept has not been fully operationalized in practice. That is, most emphasis on macro and micro level is put on the environmental dimension of sustainability. However, how consumers can become more responsible and how companies are developing a more actionable agenda for sustainable growth with regard to sustainable responsible consumption, remain areas for further research.

Research shows that both consumption and production patterns in certain industries are mostly unsustainable, and changing them poses a significant challenge that needs to be addressed both on macro and micro level. Hence, an improved international and dynamic macroeconomic insight into these patterns can help discover suitable leverages for the change. We use institutional approaches together with social constructivism theory to explore sustainability issues on a macro level. Implementation of these insights on the micro level requires a deeper understanding of consumer behavior and managerial practices. We focus on identifying the antecedents that play the most prominent role in shaping the individual’s behavior and conflicting consumption goals that create gaps leading to sustainable behavior. Managerial practices and inclusion of sustainability goals in strategic plans is researched to establish potential consumer value propositions of sustainable strategies. At this level, our research is informed by the theory of social exchange and service-dominant logic thinking. We aim at a deeper understanding of the sustainable strategy development process and potential outcomes that could enable companies to make better decisions as well as to explore interaction effects between consumers and companies in creating sustainable value.

The project applies a multi-method, mixed methodology approach for the study of the research problem from different perspectives (companies and consumers, using content analysis, microeconomic models, econometric analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, conjoint analysis and experiments).

The project is expected to introduce a novel state-of-the-art tool to empirically follow the changes in the condition of sustainability on a macro and micro level. Our contribution is in the theoretical and empirical attempt to combine different levels and facets of sustainability issues and understand how sustainability is valued on the production and consumption side, how consumers and managers decide on tradeoffs between different sustainability dimensions and how sustainability can be further institutionalised on a national/European level.

The partners combine a multitude of knowledge and skills necessary for the success of the project: consumer behavior and management strategy (FELU), micro and macroeconomic modeling and econometrics (Institut for Economic Research), corporate social responsibility research and communications (Faculty of Social Sciencies – corporate communications). The team has rich experience in best practice recommendations for management and policy and dissemination through educational practices. Researchers benefit from cooperation with distinguished researchers from WU Vienna, Austria, Leeds University, UK, University of London, UK and Aarhus University, Denmark. We closely collaborate with Chamber of Agricultural and Food Companies in the priority area S4 Sustainable food production.

Project: Personality and sociological background of entrepreneurs and start-ups, internationalization and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises Principal Investigator: Boštjan Antončič Funding Entity: Slovenian Research Agency Amount: 67.381 € Project Timeframe: 2016 - 2019 Entrepreneurs, the people who start new businesses and lead them in later phases as managers of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), are important for new wealth creation and economic development and are, as persons, central in entrepreneurship and SMEs’ development and growth. Researchers in entrepreneurship and management have examined different personality and sociological background characteristics of entrepreneurs and their conclusions have been diverse; some of them claimed that personality characteristics can be predictive of entrepreneurship success, others gave more emphasis to sociological factors. In this study, both psychological and sociological factors of entrepreneurship and SMEs’ internationalization and growth are taken into account.

Key research objectives are to develop and empirically test a model linking (through hypotheses) personality characteristics of entrepreneurs (the big five) in relationship with their sociological background (family entrepreneurship background and local entrepreneurship support background) and start-ups, internationalization and growth of SMEs, as well as providing important suggestions for performance improvements and management of start-ups and SMEs, as well as recommendations for improvements in social background support.
