Today, more and more authors are involved in researching the economic phenomenon of corruption and its impact on many macroeconomic indicators. Nevertheless, transitional surroundings have offered a ...unique opportunity in history to explore the relationship between corruption and economic growth in entirely different environment from the one in developed western economies. Researching of, at first sight, two unrelated social phenomena gave additional light on the causes of economic growth in Croatia. The researching paper also gives Croatian position among ten transition EU member countries. The corruption perception index was used as the best measuring method of corruption in Croatia and other countries while economic growth was measured by GDP per capita instead of growth rates. We explained reasons why we did so. The time period covered by the research was from 1999 to 2009 for Croatia and from 1995 to 2009 for ten transition EU member countries. Total of 137 cases were evaluated. The researching paper demonstrates the negative impact of corruption on economic growth where the strength of its influence is relatively obvious. It is also evident that the impact of corruption on economic growth is substantially a direct one and that it takes place without a significant time delay. Results for the period of research related to Croatia, more closely fit the observed data of other transition countries. Corruption could be an additional explanation (certainly not the only one) for low or high level of GDP per capita in Croatia. Misunderstanding of all the factors that encourage the economic growth may lead to macroeconomic structural misbalances in Croatian economy.
In a business world where there is great competition between companies seeking to find solutions to surmount the difficulties they face. One of the ways they do that is the development of logistics ...and innovation. Companies often find solutions, it is innovation that want to overtake the competition and generate substantial revenue for the competition before it manages to find out. Numerous innovations over time and become a patent by which the company can be recognized. Logistics task is to connect business processes from concept to finished product to market. In Croatia, the state of patents is not growing strongly, but on the contrary is declining. For the procedure for the protection and realization of rights in the Republic in charge of the State Intellectual Property Office, which takes care of the above application and presents the results in their annual reports.
It may be well said that the most used indicator of the quality of any technical system is reliability. Basically, this indicator shows the probability of proper technical system functioning within ...certain time period and under given operating conditions. To ensure that a system under construction possesses adequate given pre-defined characteristics and reliability indicators, it is necessary to plan the reliability and apply suitable methods when new technical systems are developed. Road represents an elementary traffic subsystem, as well as a technical subsystem, constructed by the society in order to meet the communication needs. Its purpose is to enable traffic system functioning. If a road is seen as a system, one can observe the features determining the structure and the principal on which its function is based. The road functioning itself is characterized by a variety of features, the most important being the management characteristic and specific social interest, categorization structure, and roadway condition. To enable smooth and safe traffic, roads should be of prescribed technical and usage levels. Reference is made specifically to road maintenance in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.

Zahtjevi međunarodne norme ISO 9001:2000 primjenjivi su na visoko obrazovanje u pomorstvu. Primjena ove norme strateška je odluka visokog pomorskog učilišta. Učilište uspostavlja, dokumentira, ...primjenjuje i održava sustav upravljanja kvalitetom i stalno poboljšava njegovu učinkovitost u skladu sa zahtjevima ove norme. Pristup sustavu upravljanja kvalitetom upučuje učilište da analizira korisničke zahtjeve, definira procese koji doprinose ostvarenju obrazovanja koje je korisnicima prihvatljivo i upravlja tim procesima. To stvara samopouzdanje učilišta da je sposobno izvoditi obrazovanje koje dosljedno ispunjava zahtjeve. Uprava učilišta treba podastrijeti dokaze o svojoj privrženosti razvoju i primjeni sustava upravljanja kvalitetom i stalno poboljšavati njegovu učinkovitost. I konačno, uprava učilišta treba planirati i primjenjivati procese nadzora, mjerenja i analize i poboljšavanja procesa obuhvaćenih sustavom upravljanja kvalitetom.

Innovative SMEs are of extreme importance for economic development since they strengthen the competitiveness of the whole country. Their innovation depends on the degree of creativity within the ...company, and the level of creativity further depends on a variety of other factors. With the aim of examining the impact of all factors of creativity and innovation on the final product of small and medium enterprises in the Republic of Croatia, an integrative organizational model of creativity and innovation (IOMCI) has been created. It is assumed that there exists internal and external support necessary for the development of innovative enterprises. While external support includes the supportive environment of the community, such as the existence of a national strategy that encourages innovation, incentive programs of the European Union as well as the possibility of using EU funds, internal support refers to the factors that depend on the company and includes an innovative organizational culture and climate, strategy for human resource development, individual and team creativity and the leadership ready to change and connect all these elements into a meaningful whole. This paper examines the applicability of the model to small and medium enterprises in Croatia.

U poslovnom svijetu u kojem vlada velika konkurencija tvrtke nastoje pronaći rješenja kako bi prebrodile poteškoće na koje nailaze. Jedan od načina na koji im to uspijeva je razvojem logistike i ...inovacija. Tvrtke često pronalaze rješenja, to jest inovacije kojima žele preteći konkurenciju te ostvariti značajne prihode prije nego konkurencija za to uspije saznati. Brojne se inovacije tijekom vremena patentiraju i postaju nešto po čemu tvrtka može biti prepoznatljiva. Logistika za zadatak ima povezati poslovne procese od ideje do gotovog proizvoda i plasiranja na tržište. U Republici Hrvatskoj stanje patenata ne bilježi veliki rast, već je naprotiv u opadanju. Za postupak zaštite i ostvarivanja prava u Republici Hrvatskoj zadužen je Državni zavod za intelektualno vlasništvo koji skrbi o navedenom te prezentira rezultate prijava u godišnjim izvješćima.

U svrhu da se ispita utjecaj svih čimbenika kreativnosti i inovativnosti na konačan rezultat malog i srednjeg poduzeća u Republici Htvatskoj (RH) razvijen je Integrativni organizacijski model ...kreativnosti i inovativnosti (IOMKI). Pretpostavka modela je postojanje interne i eksterne podrške koje su prijeko potrebne za razvoj inovativnosti poduzeća. Dok eksterna podrška obuhvaća poticajno okruženje društvene zajednice poput postojanja nacionalne strategije koja potiče inovativnost, poticajnih programa Europske unije, kao i mogućnost iskoristivosti fondova Europske unije, interna podrška odnosi se na čimbenike koji ovise o samom poduzeću, a obuhvaća inovativnu organizacijsku kulturu i klimu, strategije za razvoj ljudskih potencijala, individualnu i timsku kreativnost, te rukovodstvo spremno
na promjene koje sve te elemente povezuje u jednu smislenu cjelinu. U radu se ispituje primjenjivost samog modela, te se predstavljaju rezultati istraživanja na uzorku malih i srednjih poduzeća u RH. Inovativna mala i srednja poduzeća od izrazite su važnosti za gospodarski razvitak kao i za jačanje konkurentnosti u RH. Njihova inovativnost ovisi o stupnju kreativnosti unutar poduzeća, a sam stupanj kreativnosti nadalje ovisi o mnoštvu drugih čimbenika
koji se u RH još nisu u potpunosti ostvarili.
