Abstract

Innovation and knowledge are two of key factors for sustainable development of company or organization. Particularly in the current period of economic crisis it is crucial to promote lifelong learning and creativity to contribute innovative solutions to various problems. Lifelong learning makes a significant contribution to awareness of the importance of innovation and creativity for sustainable development of organization. In this paper we explore if respondents from Slovenian companies think that innovation and lifelong learning is important for sustainable development of company. Presented are the results of a survey conducted in 67 large and medium-sized enterprises in Slovenia where we upon respondents' judgment examine the correlation between the innovativeness level and lifelong learning, investing in innovativeness and competitive advantage and the promotion of lifelong learning and competitive advantage of the organization. Also the answers to the questions if lifelong learning contributes to the sustainable development of organization and if more the organization takes care of sustainable development the bigger is its competitive advantage before equal bidders are given.

Secondary title: Inovacije in vseživljenjsko učenje v trajnostni organizaciji
Secondary abstract: Inovativnost in znanje sta dva izmed ključnih elementov za napredek podjetja ali organizacije. Še posebej v trenutnem obdobju gospodarske krize je ključno, da se spodbujata ustvarjalnost in inovativnost, saj prispevata k inovativnim rešitvam različnih problemov. H krepitvi zavedanja o pomenu inovacij in ustvarjalnosti pri trajnostnem razvoju organizacije pomembno prispeva vseživljenjsko učenje. V tem prispevku sva raziskali kakšno pomembnost zaposleni iz slovenskih podjetij pripisujejo inovacijam in vseživljenjskemu učenju za trajnostni razvoj podjetja. V prispevku so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, izvedene v 67 velikih in srednje velikih podjetij v Sloveniji, s katero sva na podlagi ocen anketirancev preučili povezavo med stopnjo inovativnosti in vseživljenjskega učenja, vlaganjem v inovativnost in konkurenčno prednostjo podjetja ter spodbujanjem vseživljenjskega učenja in konkurenčne prednosti organizacije. Predstavljeni so tudi odgovori na vprašanja, ali vseživljenjsko učenje prispeva k trajnostnemu razvoju organizacije in ali večja skrb organizacije za njen trajnostni razvoj vpliva na njeno konkurenčno prednost v primerjavi z enakimi ponudniki na trgu.
