Unmanned aerial vehicles as a source of competitive advantage for businesses

Posljednjih godina svijet je promijenio mišljenje o bespilotnim letjelicama i više ih se ne smatra samo kao skupe vojne strojeve ili male igračke koje narušavaju privatnost običnog čovjeka. Bespilotne letjelice su danas letjelice koje mijenjaju način poslovanja, ulaze u do sada nezamislive industrije i poboljšavaju im efektivnost. Bespilotne letjelice utječu na konkurentsku prednost poduzeća u pozitivnom smislu. Cilj rada je ispitati koliko se upotrebljavaju bespilotne letjelice u tvrtkama te doprinose li konkurentskoj prednosti poduzeća. Ovaj rad pruža znanje o uporabi bespilotne letjelice u tvrtkama i ima veliki značaj u aktualnosti i atraktivnosti teme, a potencijalno i praktični značaj. Proširivanje saznanja o uporabi bespilotne letjelice kao izvora konkurentske prednosti, prednostima i nedostacima te njegovom utjecaju na uspješno poslovanje kompanija, obogaćuje saznanja (kvantitativna i kvalitativna) o jednom malo poznatom segmentu ovog globalnog problema.In recent years, the world has changed its mind about drones and is no longer considered as expensive military machines or small toys that violate the privacy of the common man.
