11. The role of transnational value chains in regional innovation. Analysis of Central and Eastern European regions engaged in automotive and electronics production networksCristian Gangaliuc, 2022 Opis: The thesis touches on important concepts of innovation and regional development. Their
empirical relevance for economic and social growth is a subject of active debate. Studies
revealed that interactions have a major impact, de facto, on the capacity to innovate.
Diversifying knowledge sources, joint ventures and co-creational practices can explain much
of the locational factors and innovation in a-spatial networks. With the rise of globalisation,
scholars found that Multinational Corporations and their global production chains are
integrating more and more into regions worldwide. They share practices and engage local
stakeholders in their innovation projects. This research aims to explore the importance of
locational and global factors in this process. The goal is to see how these two forces contribute
to innovation separately and when intertwined regionally, closing the gap between regional and
global innovation frameworks.
The thesis contributes to science by developing a new synthesis model based on mainstream
Innovation theories. It includes the endogenous and exogenous forces that create environmental
pressures and opportunities, pushing economic agents to innovate. The central aspect of this
model is the acknowledgement of the multiscalar nature of innovation. Local institutions,
mindsets and influence from the production chains create conditions and pressures in the
network, which motivates companies to innovate. Depending on the local competencies and the
needs of production networks, it creates various environments for companies. It is up to
enterprises to use created opportunities, which can be local, national or global.
Data collected in eight (distinct) regions in Central and Eastern Europe (active in automotive
and electronics industries) was used in qualitative and logical analysis to observe patterns in
regional behaviour. The results revealed that endogenous and exogenous forces act
circumstantially in each region, partially proving all the hypotheses on endogenous and
exogenous factors and validating the model. Each region displays different rates of local and
regional engagement and, thus, different patterns of innovation, determining their competitive
potential. The research also revealed additional factors (e.g., the importance of trust,
particularities of information diffusion, etc.) relevant to innovation in Central and Eastern
Europe.

12. The dynamic of employee population of different characteristics in principal - agent model based relationship with employerMirko Talajić, 2022 Opis: V današnjem času je dinamika sprememb takšna, da moramo najti inovativne in kreativne načine za obvladovanje sprememb, a se tudi prilagajati pogostosti teh sprememb. Dinamika sprememb v vedenju ljudi, njihovem odnosu do dela in kaj jih motivira, so postale glavne preokupacije vodilnih v organizaciji, ki se zavedajo, da kakovostno vodenje ljudi in njihova motivacija naredijo organizacijo učinkovitejšo in nenazadnje uspešnejšo na trgu. Ključno je zavedanje, da strategija upravljanja z ljudmi ne more biti enaka za vse, ampak jo je treba prilagoditi različnim vrstam zaposlenih. Zato so v doktorski disertaciji vsi zaposleni v organizaciji razdeljeni na tri tipe, ki so si vsi homogeni po stopnji zavzetosti za organizacijo, odnosu do dela in motivaciji. Z definiranjem funkcij uporabnosti in plačila za vsako vrsto zaposlenih se modelira vedenje vsake vrste skozi čas (dolgoročno in kratkoročno). Proces modeliranja in analize rezultatov je podprt z uporabo osnovnih principov teorije iger, evolucijske teorije iger in dinamike replikatorja. Dobljeni rezultati kažejo, da se lahko organizacija, če pozna izhodiščno populacijsko strukturo svojih zaposlenih, pravočasno odloči in usmeri gibanje strukture k želenemu stabilnemu stanju, kjer so stroški optimalni. Razvit metodološki okvir odpira številne možnosti, vključno z dodajanjem novih spremenljivk, za razširitev modela, kar posledično odpira možnost podrobnejših analiz in konkretnejših usmeritev pri sprejemanju še boljših odločitev, ki se odražajo v boljših organizacijskih rezultatih.

13. Statistična analiza pogostosti potresov na svetovni ravniJernej Žagar, 2023 Opis: Magistrska naloga vsebuje statistično analizo pogostosti potresov v svetovnem merilu. V nalogi
predstavimo zbiranje podatkov o potresnih dejavnostih, ki se nahajajo na spletni strani ameriške
znanstvene agencije. Z uporabo programskega jezika Python zbrane podatke očistimo, jih
analiziramo in predstavimo grafično. Z uporabo knjižnice GeoPandas posamezne lokacije
potresov prestavimo tudi na zemljevidu. Za vodilo analize uporabimo zastavljene hipoteze s
katerimi skušamo preveriti korelacijo med magnitudo, globino, posamezno lokacijo in časovno
komponento potresov. Pri tem se osredotočimo na potresno zanimive lokacije, obravnavamo
tudi Slovenijo.
