Abstract

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the synergistic integration of entrepreneurial education, human resources management (HRM), and innovation strategies has emerged as a pivotal factor in enhancing organizational competitiveness. This study explores the dynamic relationship among these key elements, employing a combined approach of VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) methodologies. By leveraging VIKOR, which facilitates multi-criteria decision-making, and Fuzzy AHP, which accommodates uncertainty and vagueness, the research aims to provide a comprehensive framework for optimizing entrepreneurial education, HRM practices, and innovation strategies within organizations. The findings from this study offer valuable insights into prioritizing the most effective approaches, facilitating informed decision-making, and ultimately fostering a culture of innovation and competitiveness, positioning organizations for sustainable success in a dynamic business environment.
