Despite emails having been a standard technology since the 1970s, they are still indispensable in daily communication and the number of sent emails continues to rise year by year. This technology is not limited to business, it is also used in education, entertainment, or personal correspondence. Emails are also present in the everyday life of children: they are required to join websites, social networks or to participate in school -especially in homeschooling. However, emails are also associated with disadvantages such as spam, phishing, or malware. To engage children in security awareness we developed the DigiSkill platform, which provides interactive educational experiences. It consists of modules such as email or browser simulations, to increase the student’s digital skills. In this research, we evaluated the tool with 52 secondary school students to observe their knowledge on security awareness in the context of email usage and to help gain a better understanding. Therefore, we conducted an in-class evaluation with a tool intervention and related pre- and post-activities. We observed different characteristics in emails that students use for classification and identified common misconceptions. We found that students follow an intensely visual approach, which means the visual representation of an email has a strong impact on the level of suspicion students have. We aim to provide educators with a tool to improve the security awareness skills of their students and to discuss educational possibilities in this field with our research findings.
As a business function that deals with the establishment of efficient and effective processes for planning and control of the company's operations, controlling has become a crucial function of any business organization. The global changes have forced companies to very intensively and quickly adapt their operations to new market conditions, and controlling bears the most significant burden of this adaptation to global changes. To expand the scope of knowledge about controlling, this paper provides a literature review of controlling development in modern businesses, focusing on selected developed and developing countries. According to the findings of various studies, controlling is used in the majority of firms in developed economies, and his role has expanded. Existing studies support the conclusion that controlling contributes to improved business performance. Based on the literature review, the paper presents an analysis of the current state of controlling function development in companies of selected developed and developing countries, with special emphasis on Bosnia and Herzegovina, where controlling is not fully implemented with limited practical use. Therefore, some recommendations for adequate development of controlling function in Bosnia and Herzegovina and developing countries are proposed.
Druga polovina prošlog vijeka okarakterisana je vrtoglavim razvojem računarskeindustrije koja je ubrzo postala osnovni preduslov razvoja svih sektora privrede.Uzimajući u obzir pomenuto, porasla je i potreba za stručnjacima koji će u segmentuposlovanja biti u stanju povezati tehničke i upravljačke zajednice. Rezultat je biopokretanje studija poslovne informatike, pod tim istim, sličnim ili različitim imenima,najčešće u okviru poslovnih škola kao studij prvog ciklusa. Međutim, razvojem upodručju poslovanja, a pogotovo kompjutinga, u novom mileniju se ovaj studij sve višepojavljuje kao samostalan sa tendencijom da postane ravnopravna organizacijskajedinica unutar hijerarhije univerziteta. Ovaj rad ima za cilj da predstavi teoretskuosnovu kurikuluma i praktičan primjer studija Poslovna informatika koji je rezultatzajedničkog rada Ekonomskog fakulteta i Fakulteta informacijskih tehnologijaUniverziteta „Džemal Bijedić“ u Mostaru.
This paper examines the effect of industry and firm ownership on capital structure of firms in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since most of the studies for developed and other transition economies explore the effect of different determinants on capital structure through firms’ leverage, that approach was used in this study too. Data on firms listed in two stock exchanges were obtained for the period of 2011-2015. Effects of industry and ownership on firm’s leverage were tested through the use of ANOVA and t-test. The results indicate differences in significance of industry and firm’s ownership for the firms listed in Sarajevo and Banja Luka Stock Exchange. For firms listed in BLSE industry effects have proven to be statistically significant where manufacturing firms have higher leverage while firms in water supply, electricity, gas supply industry have lower leverage. The results also show that privately owned firms will have higher leverage compared to state owned firms.
