Ekonomski razvoj neostvariv je bez inovacija i poduzetništva. Kako su poduzeća u privatnom vlasništvu jedan od glavnih pokretača gospodarstva, otvaranjem radnih mjesta te rastom proizvodnje i ...potrošnje, može se reći da inovacije preko poduzetništva pokreću nacionalno, ali i svjetsko gospodarstvo. Istraživanje se provodi u svrhu dobivanja uvida u trenutno stanje u korelaciji – inovacije, poduzetništvo, ekonomski razvoj. Metode istraživanja korištene u ovome radu su povijesna metoda, deskriptivna metoda, istraživanje za stolom, metoda analize i sinteze te primarna kvantitativna metoda. Instrument istraživanja je anketni upitnik s ciljem prikupljanja podataka od poduzetnika o trendovima, problemima, najvećim ograničenjima i zadovoljstvu okruženjem u kojem posluju s aspekta razumijevanja i poticanja inovativnosti i kreativnosti u radu, radnim procesima i nastupu na tržištu. Primarnom istraživanju odazvalo se 129 ispitanika, poduzetnika s područja RH. Dobiveni rezultati istraživanja grafički su prikazani. Inovativnost je krucijalni element poduzetništva, stoga tvrtke moraju kontinuirano inovirati poslovanje kako bi izbjegle
stagnaciju i prestanak rada. Uzročno-posljedične veze inovacija, poduzetništva i ekonomskog razvoja potrebno je pomno analizirati i pratiti, uzimajući u obzir sve okolnosti u određenom trenutku. Na temelju toga moguće je uočiti razloge zastoja i padova u njihovoj korelaciji te ubuduće promptno reagirati. Poduzetnici su inovatori, razmišljaju drugačije, razmišljaju na način ostvarenja – efektivno. Inventivnost je najvrjedniji resurs svake tvrtke, stoga je bitno poticati kreativno razmišljanje i iznošenje ideja. Inovacije imaju direktan utjecaj na povećanje produktivnosti i porast konkurentnosti, a kontinuirano inoviranje poslovanja podrazumijeva stalnu prilagodbu i sposobnost snalaženja na konkurentnom tržištu. Inovativnost i poduzetništvo ključni su za ekonomski razvoj, te pružaju brojne mogućnosti i varijacije primjenjive svugdje.
The paper provides a definition of hypercomplexity and hypercomplex knowledge in knowledge-based economies and proves the hypothesis that development, application and expansion of new technological ...achievements have a direct impact on a country's economic growth.
Data collected from relevant databases for 110 world countries were used in the calculations. Data for other countries have not been published, which is a typical limitation in the application of such research methodology.
Developmental lags of the Republic of Croatia have been established by the method of transformation of variables in the analysed developmental indicators and their components, and proposals for their improvement have been provided. Taking into consideration the established effect of the increase in the Research Capacity Development Index, Technology and Innovation Efficiency Index, and the Ability to Absorb Knowledge and Technology Index on economic growth, Croatia needs to invest additional resources in the increase in human capital and labour productivity in order to reduce developmental lags.
This paper shows the theoretical framework and the review of empirical evidence of the effect that corruption has on the socio-economic development. The main goals of this paper are: to present the ...possible origins of corruption, and to analyze the existing models to eliminate or at least to reduce corruption in the society. In the paper, it is argued that anticorruption models should also include the strategy for the development of the institutional infrastructure that will change the perception of the members of the society about corruption as an unacceptable model of behavior. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
Ever since China entered the World Trade Organization at the turn of the century, Latin America supplied China with more and more of the primary commodities it needs and more. In The China Triangle, ...Kevin P. Gallagher traces the development of the China-Latin America trade over time and covers how it has affected the centuries-old (and highly unequal) US-Latin American relationship.
In order to solve the shortcomings of classical convergence analysis and spatial econometric analysis, this paper proposes a delta statistics method to assess economic growth convergence of central ...China cities. The result shows to be more close to the reality by analyzing the drawbacks of the classical relative beta convergence, combining the advantages of gams convergence, reference panel data, co-integration theory with the time factor into model. Then, Monte Carlo simulation method is used to analyze its distribution, which shows that it obeys to the normal distribution assumption in large samples. At last, our method is applied to the analysis of economic convergence of central China.
Globalization, surely one of the most used and abused buzzwords of recent decades, describes a phenomenon that is typically considered to be a neutral and inevitable expansion of market forces across ...the planet. Nearly all economists, politicians, business leaders, and mainstream journalists view globalization as the natural result of economic development, and a beneficial one at that. But, as noted economist Martin Hart-Landsberg argues, this perception does not match the reality of globalization. The rise of transnational corporations and their global production chains was the result of intentional and political acts, decisions made at the highest levels of power. Their aim - to increase profits by seeking the cheapest sources of labor and raw materials - was facilitated through policy-making at the national and international levels, and was largely successful. But workers in every nation have paid the costs, in the form of increased inequality and poverty, the destruction of social welfare provisions and labor unions, and an erratic global economy prone to bubbles, busts, and crises. This book examines the historical record of globalization and restores agency to the capitalists, policy-makers, and politicians who worked to craft a regime of world-wide exploitation. It demolishes their neoliberal ideology - already on shaky ground after the 2008 financial crisis - and picks apart the record of trade agreements like NAFTA and institutions like the WTO. But, crucially, Hart- Landsberg also discusses alternatives to capitalist globalization, looking to examples such as South America's Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) for clues on how to build an international economy based on solidarity, social development, and shared prosperity.
Povezanost emigracija i ekonomskog razvoja može se sagledati prema različitim
pristupima, gdje je jedno od bitnih pitanja uloga doznaka iz inozemstva, odnosno
utjecaj priljeva sredstava iz inozemstva ...u zemljama emigracije. Cilj ovog rada je
istražiti utjecaj doznaka iz inozemstva na ekonomski razvoj zemalja srednje i
istočne Europe. Pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja o ulozi emigracija i utjecaju
doznaka iz inozemstva na ekonomski razvoj prikazan je u prvom dijelu rada.
Slijede rezultati panel analize. Analiza obuhvaća razdoblje nakon proširenja EU
2004. Rezultati potvrđuju pozitivan i statistički značajan utjecaj doznaka iz
inozemstva na ekonomski razvoj novih zemalja članica EU. Utvrđen pozitivan
utjecaj doznaka iz inozemstva potrebno je promatrati s oprezom, s obzirom na to
da su doznake iz inozemstva rezultat emigracija te također mogu biti povezane s
negativnim učincima emigracija. Rad doprinosi dosadašnjim istraživanjima o
utjecaju doznaka iz inozemstva u novim zemljama članicama EU.
Promjene koje je uslovila preraspodjela zaposlenih iz primarnih i sekundarnih u tercijalni sektor,kao i ključni trend razvoja iz industrijskog u informatičko društvo,uslovile su da se strategije ...razvoja baziraju na povezivanju,udruživanju,u našim uslovima,malih i srednjih preduzeća.Pokretačka snaga razvoja postaju informacije i sposobnost preuzeća da te informacije razmjenjuje sa okruženjem.Najprofitabilnije grane postaju one kod kojih je znanje važnije od kapitala.Ova činjenica opravdava ekspanziju preduzetništva,malih i srednjih
preduzeća,koja su uvidela značaj udruživanja uz visok stepen povjerenja.Na ovaj način, dolazimo do pojma i značaja klastera. Cilj ovog rada je da ukaže na značaj klastera i njihov uticaj na konkuretnost malih i srednjih preduzeća (MSP).
Dealing with democratization of transitional societies, the author is trying to define causal processes of democratic change. Considering sociostructural prerequisites as necessary but not sufficient ...for establishing democracy, the author emphasizes the importance of sociocultural factors and claims that political culture is the intervening variable in the interaction between socioeconomic development and democracy. This thesis is tested through various aspects of the relationship between socioeconomic and sociocultural dimensions of the democratization process. Economic development and other structural factors do not act directly, nor do they solely by themselves influence the existence and stability of democracy. That influence is mediated by sociocultural factors, particularly by political culture. Hence, democratization is a collective action shaped by sociocultural factors. The effect of sociostructural prerequisites on the democratization process is taking place through the activity of sociocultural factors, which determine the forms and reaches of collective action, and finally the level and stability of democracy. In the transitional context, democratization is in progress both as sociostructural modernization and sociocultural adaptation.
