The entry of competition changes the market from monopolistic to oligopolistic, which has positive performance implications for the industry. Our research analyzes the development of the Croatian TV market from the monopolistic stage to the current oligopolistic stage. Econometric models in this article aim to estimate the current trend of market concentration and its future potential. -
The Impact of Internet on IPR – a Case Study of Music Industry in Croatia
The Impact of Internet on IPR – A Case Study of Music Industry in Croatia Marta Bozina; Kosjenka Dumancic; Blazenka Knezevic University of Zagreb, Croatia Faculty of Economics and Business [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) there is a trend of rapid growth of Internet users in EU-candidate countries (Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey), according to ITU reports, the number of Internet users has tripled since the year 2000. Nowadays, Internet is affecting and changing almost every industry in transitional countries. The impact is most obvious in industries which deal with goods that can be easily digitalized and distributed online. Due to a large number of Internet users, network effects and accessibility of different easy-to-use software tools both for digitalization and distribution, music seems to be most exposed to Internet theft and piracy. In this paper the case of Croatian music industry will be discussed together with the legal framework regarding the issue of digital music. Keywords: IPR, Internet, digital music, Croatia, legal framework, copyright Introduction Since the early eighties, digital revolution has been taking place and has affected every aspect of human life. It has changed existing industries, brought new ones, and developed new types of human behaviour. The possibility of music digitalization and its digital distribution has placed several legal issues in the focus. This paper will discuss the interference between technological changes and the legal framework that regulates IPR in music industry. The Croatian music industry and changes in the Croatian legal system regarding issues of music trade and sharing will be placed in the centre of interest. -

JANUARY / JUNE 2010 35 Contribution to the Research of the Internet in the Service of Tourism Situation in Croatia and in the World Damir Demonja, Renata Cupic, Daniela Angelina Jelincic * Original scientific paper UDC 004.738.5:379.8(497.5) Received in May 2009 Presence of tourist destinations on the Internet today is a prerequisite for business sus- tainability. Recession period undoubtedly has an impact on better exploitation of the Internet potential as a comprehensive communication tool which will provide for more demanding customer a choice of desired services at any time, from anywhere. Internet is not only communication and marketing tool, but offers direct access to the client, and also has a global reach. The business which, even before the arrival of tourists in the destination, enables the choice of destinations, is the advantage compared to the other, "traditional" ways of tourist business. Still under-utilization of Internet capabilities in Croatia indicates the needfor business change. Joint action of all participants in the tourist sector, backed by the knowledge and skills of experts for Internet and communi- cation technology could gradually contribute to the achievement of the desired tourism progress.

Achieve universal primary education 3. Promote gender equality and empower women 4. Reduce child mortality 5. Improve maternal health 6. Combat HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases 7.

The Ethnographic Research of the Digital Divide
DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Igor Matic August 2006 The dissertation entitled DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA by IGOR MATIC has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communication by Karen E. Riggs Professor, School of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, College of Communication ABSTRACT MATIC, IGOR, Ph. D., August 2006, Mass Communication DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA (209 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Karen E. Riggs This dissertation covers the Digital Divide phenomena in the Istrian region. Istria is a Northern Adriatic peninsula that is administratively divided between three European countries: Croatia (which covers approximately 90% of the peninsula), Slovenia (app. 7%), and Italy (app. 3%). In this dissertation my goal was to articulate the most influential theoretical frameworks that are used to explain the Digital Divide today and I try to give an explanation of the issue through ethnographic procedures. The goals of this research include the examination of the current Digital Divide debate, extension of the theory toward the local understanding and perception of this global phenomenon. Additionally, I wanted to identify different interpretations of the Digital Divide in three countries within one region and compare the differences and similarities in new technology usage and perceptions. Also, I was interested to see how age - which is described as one of the major Digital Divide factors - influences the relationships between older and younger generations, specifically relationships between parents and children, instructors, students and co-workers. -

Autocesta Zagreb – Sisak
A 11 AUTOCESTA ZAGREB – SISAK Zagreb, ožujak 2006. SEKTOR ZA GRAĐENJE ODJEL ZA PROJEKTIRANJE A 11 AUTOCESTA ZAGREB - SISAK OPĆENITO Programom prostornog uređenja Republike Hrvatske iz 1999. godine autocesta Zagreb - Sisak pripada prvoj skupini prioriteta koji su od važnosti za državu. Trasa počinje na obilaznici Zagreba kod mjesta Jakuševec u čvorištu Jakuševec te završava spojem na postojeću državnu cestu D37 Sisak - Petrinja. Autocesta je duljine ~ 47,5 km uključivo i odvojak za privremeni spoj na D37 duljine ~1,2 km. Grad Sisak će se preko čvora Sisak spojiti na autocestu te je predviđena spojna cesta za Sisak duljine ~ 3 km koja se spaja na glavnu os autoceste. Južni ulaz u grad Zagreb u dužini od cca 1.3 km predviđen je nadvožnjakom iznad ranžirnog kolodvora i spojem na produženu Sarajevsku ulicu. Postojeća prometna infrastruktura (državna cesta D30 i D36) koja spaja Zagreb i Sisak ne zadovoljava potrebe suvremenog prometa, te će se planiranom autocestom povezati najznačajnija gospodarska žarišta u Hrvatskoj koristeći najpovoljnije prirodne mogućnosti za vođenje prometnice. TRASA Trasa je “postavljena” na osnovu dosadašnjih istraživanja koridora Zagreb – Sisak i nalazi se unutar koridora predviđenog za tu autocestu iz prostornih planova Zagrebačke i Sisačko-moslavačke županije. Autocesta ima glavne spojeve na postojeću mrežu u području Zagreb – Velika Gorica (A 3: Bregana – Zagreb – Lipovac, te D 30: Velika Gorica – Petrinja – H. Kostajnica i D 31: Velika Gorica – Pokupsko) i u području Sisak – Petrinja (D 36 Pokupsko – Sisak i D 37: Sisak – Petrinja – Glina). Spomenuti spojevi su čvorišta “Jakuševec” i “Velika Gorica – jug” te priključci Veliko Polje i Velika Gorica u području Zagreb – Velika Gorica, dok su u području Sisak – Petrinja to čvorišta “Sisak” i “Mošćenica”, te čvorišta “Lekenik” kao spoj na D 30 preko Ž 3230 i “Buševec” kao spoj na Ž 3116. -
