SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF THE INFORMAL ECONOMY

V delu diplomskega seminarja smo obravnavali temo reševanja problema sive ekonomije. Delo diplomskega seminarja vsebuje dva dela, teoretični in praktični del. V teoretičnem delu smo natančneje definirali pojem sive ekonomije ter predstavili vzroke za nastanek le te in posledice. Teoretični del vsebuje tudi teoretična izhodišča za tehnike metod ustvarjalnega razmišljanja in odločanja, ki smo jih uporabili v praktičnemu delu. V praktičnemu delu naloge smo najprej predstavili obseg sive ekonomije v nekaterih članicah Evropske Unije. Nadalje smo v praktičnemu delu naredili statistično analizo glede na število pregledov in število ukrepov dela na črno. Za lažje reševanje problema z metodami, smo v praktičnemu delu predstavili ukrepe v Sloveniji, ki jih Vlada Republike Slovenije že izvaja. S tehniko šestih vprašanj, tehniko petih zakajev in z miselnim vzorcem, smo definirali naš problem. Poleg definicije smo z omenjenimi tehnikami dobili tudi rešitve, s katerimi bi lahko zmanjšali obseg sive ekonomije. Tehniko zapisovanja idej smo naredili skupinsko z vodji mikro podjetij na področju gradbeništva, lesarstva in frizerstva. Dobljene rezultate s tehniko zapisovanja idej, smo analizirali z analizo vtisov. Nazadnje smo vse izvedene tehnike med seboj primerjali.In our graduate work we addressed the subject of solving the problem of the informal economy. The thesis contains two parts, the theoretical and the practical part. In the theoretical part we more precisely defined the concept of the informal economy and outlined the reasons for the occurrence and consequences of the informal economy. The theoretical part also includes theoretical frameworks for the methods of creative thinking and decision-making, which were then used in the practical part of the graduate work. In the practical part, our goal was to present the extent of the informal economy in the selected countries in the European Union. Furthermore we then prepared a statistical analysis, based on the number of reviews and the number of measures for undeclared work. For an easier way of solving the problems with defined methods we presented measures for Slovenia, which are already implemented by the Slovenian Government. With the use of the techniques 5Ws & H, five whys and mind mappings we have defined our problem. With these techniques – in addition to the problem definition – we also gained solutions, which could reduce the extent of the informal economy. The idea-writing technique was used in a group with managers of micro-sized enterprises in the field of construction, wood industry and hairdressing. The gained solutions were then analyzed with the use of the impression analysis. Lastly all techniques, which were used in the process of the research, we compared with each other
