Family business in practice: Robert Šegula presented the development and challenges of the Tames company to students of the School of Economics and Business
The director of the Tames company, Robert Šegula, Mag., presented the development of a family business, the importance of management in a family environment, and the key business challenges in managing a diverse and development-oriented company to students of the School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana.
On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, Robert Šegula, M.Sc., CEO of the Tames company, presented the operation of a family business, his entrepreneurial experience, and the current business challenges that the company faces in practice to students of the School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana. The event took place as part of the project Entrepreneurial skills for acquiring experienced technical personnel, which is implemented as part of the Problem-based learning of students in the work environment (pedagogical mentor Prof. Dr. Boštjan Antončič).
The Tames company is recognized in Slovenia primarily in the field of electrical and mechanical installations, but it also successfully develops its activities in other areas, such as hop growing, construction, golf, and bowling. It is this diversity that offered the students a particularly interesting insight into how a company with a clear vision, flexibility, and good management can successfully operate in several areas at the same time.
In his presentation, Robert Šegula shed light on the company's development path, its organizational structure, method of operation, and strategic directions for the future. He also paid special attention to the question of how to reconcile entrepreneurial tradition, development ambitions, and professional management in a family business. He emphasized that proper management of a family business is one of the key factors for long-term success, stability, and growth. The event was an important contribution to connecting the study process with the real needs of the working environment and an example of how cooperation with companies enriches entrepreneurial education at the School of Economics and Business.
