This thesis examines strategic investments in corporate functions through the case of Kozmetika Afrodita d.o.o. It analyses which functions the company considers strategic, how it invests in them, and their impact on performance. The study combines contemporary theories of strategic management, competitive advantage, and key performance indicators with an analysis of annual reports for 2022 and 2023. The findings show that targeted investments in marketing, R&D, HR, production, digitalisation, and sustainability support stable growth and profitability, confirming a positive link between strategic investments and business success. Practical recommendations are provided for companies seeking long-term competitiveness.
