As part of the Business Organisation and Management module of the Economist – Commerce Module and Economist – Accounting Module study programmes, we hosted Aleksandra Lepenik, director of ELPRO Lepenik & Co. d.o.o.
The guest lecturer, Ms Lepenik, began the session by introducing the company ELPRO Lepenik & CO. d.o.o., which has been providing customers with temperature, humidity, pressure, level and related measurements since 1991, manufacturing temperature sensors, selling measurement and control technology from leading global manufacturers, and thus ensuring safe, efficient and energy-appropriate solutions. She continued with the importance of family entrepreneurship, which in her opinion represents a unique form of business, as it is based on the close connection of family members and the sharing of common goals and values. As an experienced entrepreneur who herself grew up in a family business, Ms Lepenik offered students valuable advice on the advantages and challenges that this type of business practice brings.
A particular emphasis of the meeting was devoted to the key roles of preparing and planning succession, which ensures the stability and continuity of the company in the future. Transferring a company to the next generation is a complex process that requires excellent communication, clear definition of roles and responsibilities, and consideration of the company's interests. She also encouraged students to think at an early stage about how to become actively involved in the transfer process.
The second part of the meeting focused on the topic of quality standards and quality management. The guest lecturer emphasised that quality standards play a key role in ensuring the company's competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Effective process management, quality control of products or services, and continuous improvement are key elements of successful business management. Based on her own experience, she presented to students some of the most important quality standards that need to be considered in the modern business environment.
