Sažetak
The Faculty of Economics in Osijek has been operating since 1961 as a higher education institution. Faculty activities began in the peak period of the industrial age ; as a consequence, the principles of operation tracing back to the industrial age have persisted in this institution, although we are now in the digital age, i.e. the knowledge age. It should be emphasized that the Faculty of Economics in Osijek had phases of change and significant growth, primarily manifested in the increase of physical space and the volume of employment of teaching and research staff. Furthermore, there were phases of partial adaptation to changes brought by the digital era such as increasing the capacity in terms of introducing several computer equipped classrooms, multimedia presentation systems in all classrooms, and the use of network systems for educational and scientific purposes. A notable step was the launch of the undergraduate and graduate Business Informatics programme. Nonetheless, all the above changes do not represent a satisfactory progression in terms of adapting the Faculty of Economics in Osijek to the modern digital era. When compared with other higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia, especially in the domain of economic sciences, the Faculty of Economics does not seem to lag behind the other institutions. On the contrary, in the technological sense it is already among the leaders in the country, however, this is still insufficient. In order to assure its survival and growth, this institution will have to adapt to the digital age by making a series of radical breakthroughs. On this subject, it is necessary to investigate present circumstances, i.e. how far has the Faculty of Economics in Osijek adapted to the digital age and to consider what system changes should be made to achieve this goal. The aim of this research, therefore, is to define the conceptual descriptive model of adaptation of the operation of the Faculty of Economics in Osijek to the digital era. The model is a synthesis of results of many years of research conducted at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek through surveys and in-depth interviews, primarily of Business Informatics undergraduate and graduate students, carried out within the course Knowledge Management.
