Economic aspects of corporate security

Abstract

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc as an integral part of the transitional processes, the process of dismantling of the welfare state took place almost invisibly. This process minimized the impact of institutional mechanisms in all spheres of human activity in both transition and developed capitalist countries. The process is particularly prominent in the sphere of social policy, but also in the business environment of business entities. Business entities under the pressure of globalization, which implies liberalization of trade and business, keep losing the protection of state institutions, which was implied earlier. The default privileged position on the domestic market and the protection of the business system from the hostile operation of competition is becoming a past. New business opportunities offered by the global market bring with it new challenges in terms of business success and survival on such a market. Corporations are forced to take into account a number of parameters that affect the results of their activities when planning and realizing their operations. A very important moment is the economic environment and the conditions of life and work of the users of their services, as well as the employees in the system. The concept of human security provides a good analytical framework for understanding new conditions and identifying important factors for business success.

Nakon pada Berlinskog zida i raspada istočnog bloka kao sastavni deo tranzicionih procesa, skoro neprimetno, odvijao se i proces demontaže države blagostanja. Ovaj proces je minimizirao uticaj institucionalnih mehanizama u svim sferama ljudskih aktivnosti, kako u tranzicionim, tako i u razvijenim kapitalističkim zemljama. Proces posebno dolazi do izražaja u sferi socijalne politike, ali i u uslovima poslovanja privrednih subjekata. Privredni subjekti pod pritiskom globalizacije, koja je bazirana na liberalizaciji trgovine i poslovanja, gube zaštitu državnih institucija koja je ranije postojala. Taj podrazumevani privilegovani položaj na domaćem tržištu i zaštita poslovnog sistema od neprijateljskog delovanja konkurencije postaje prošlost. Nove poslovne prilike koje nudi globalno tržište sa sobom nose i nove izazove u pogledu uspešnosti poslovanja i opstanka na tržištu. Korporacije su prinuđene da prilikom planiranja i realizacije poslovanja vode računa o većem broju parametara koji utiču na rezultate njihovih aktivnosti. U datim okolnostima je veoma važno voditi računa o ekonomskom ambijentu i uslovima rada, kako korisnika njihovih usluga, tako i zaposlenih u sistemu. Koncept ljudske bezbednosti daje dobar analitički okvir za razumevanje novih uslova i prepoznavanje najvažnijih faktora za uspešnost poslovanja korporacija.
