The new issue of Lider brings an unusual ‘electoral simulation’, an entrepreneurial analysis of the elections, an interview with Igor Škrgatić…

An increasing number of companies are adopting a hybrid model, that is, a combination of remote and office work, aiming to enhance employee satisfaction while simultaneously saving on office space. However, the concept of ‘smart work’ also presents challenges, primarily for the survival of corporate culture. Everyone agrees that the pandemic, whether by chance or design, has rapidly pushed us towards some future scenarios we expected in five to ten years. In Croatia, bosses still prefer to look their employees in the eye and are happiest when they see all the ‘sheep accounted for’. All about SmartWork is revealed by Željka Laslavić in the Theme of the Week.

All parties accuse HDZ of splitting Zagreb and combining according to party lines. Lider simulated electoral results based on the county structure. If each county and the City of Zagreb were one electoral unit, HDZ would gain six more parliamentary mandates, while the SDP coalition would have three more representatives. This interesting experiment was conducted by Goran Litvan.

Entrepreneurs pragmatically hope for a stable government of continuity, while analysts fear that very continuity. However, both groups significantly differ in their expectations from the new government and the new assembly. Economists we spoke to about the election results see benefits in continuity during this extremely difficult situation for the country, but there are significant differences in expectations from the new government and the new assembly. What those expectations are was discovered by Vanja Figenwald.

Until now, the name Igor Škrgatić has not resonated with well-known associations in entrepreneurial circles. That could change. Škrgatić recently became the president of the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises in Croatia, which is currently going through the most turbulent period since its inception. Colleagues say that Škrgatić is smart and has a refined British sense of humor, as confirmed by Željka Laslavić.

In addition to the regular issue, you can also expect an internal feature Big Thing: Lean Management, where you can learn about the business model that has gained momentum again during the slowdown and read the Guide to Lean Tools that enhance efficiency.
