Saradnja i poslovno povezivanje malih i srednjih preduzeća u šumarstvu i drvnoj industriji na Južnokučajskom šumskom području

Abstract

Mala i srednja preduzeća (MSP), veoma često nemaju kapacitete da samostalno ispune sve zahteve koje postavlja tržište, zbog čega teže međusobnoj saradnji i poslovnom povezivanju. Cilj istraživanja je utvrđivanje stavova predstavnika MSP u šumarstvu i drvnoj industriji o saradnji i poslovnom povezivanju na Južnokučajskom šumskom području (JKŠP). U radu su primenjene metode analize i sinteze, komparativna i statistička metoda. Primarni podaci su prikupljeni u dve faze. Najpre su sprovedene ankete sa 43 predstavnika MSP u šumarstvu i drvnoj industriji, koja posluju na teritoriji JKŠP. Nakon toga, u drugoj fazi, obavljeni su intervjui sa predstavnicima liderskih preduzeća (šest ispitanika), institucija i organizacija iz javnog sektora (tri ispitanika) i poslovno-stručnih i interesnih organizacija (jedan ispitanik). Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da većina MSP u šumarstvu (78,9%), primarnoj (60%) i finalnoj preradi drveta (92,9%) sarađuje sa drugim preduzećima. Najčešći oblici saradnje su zajednički nastup na tržištu, i saradnja kroz otkup sirovine. Ipak, u pogledu poslovnog povezivanja, rezultati ukazuju da nijedno od analiziranih preduzeća nije član nekog udruženja. U odnosu na saradnju sa nadležnim institucijama i organizacijama, utvrđeno je da kod većine preduzeća nije prisutna. Na osnovu sprovedenih analiza, može se zaključiti da postoji podrška primeni predloga koji se odnosi na osnivanje udruženja MSP u šumarstvu i drvnoj industriji. Takođe, ispitanici su saglasni da je potrebno unaprediti i saradnju sa nadležnim institucijama i organizacijama, kroz povećanje informisanosti MSP u šumarstvu i drvnoj industriji o njihovim aktivnostima i programima rada.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), quite often do not have the capacity to independently meet all the requirements set by the market, which is why they strive for cooperation and business networking. This research aims to determine the attitudes of SME representatives in the forestry and wood industry towards cooperation and business networking in the Južnokučajsko forest region (JKFR). The paper uses methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative and statistical methods. Primary data were collected in two phases. At first, surveys were conducted with 43 representatives of SMEs in the forestry and wood industry, which operate on the territory of JKFR. After that, in the second phase, interviews were conducted with representatives of leading enterprises (six respondents), institutions and organizations from the public sector (three respondents) and business-professional and interest organizations (one respondent). The results of the research indicate that the majority of SMEs in forestry (78.9%), primary (60%) and final wood processing (92.9%) cooperate with other enterprises. The most common forms of cooperation are joint appearance on the market, and cooperation through the purchase of raw materials. However, in terms of business networking, the results indicate that none of the analysed enterprises is a member of an association. Regarding the cooperation with the competent institutions and organizations, it was determined that it is not present in most enterprises. Based on the conducted analyses, it can be concluded that there is support for the implementation of the proposal related to the establishment of SME associations in the forestry and wood industry. Also, respondents agree that it is necessary to improve cooperation with relevant institutions and organizations, by increasing the awareness of SMEs in the forestry and wood industry about their activities and work programs.
