Corruption in Croatian Society and Entrepreneurship

Corruption is one of the most significant limitations of society growth and development, aggravating global problem and undesirable social phenomena. Corruption implicates reduction of economic efficiency, increasing lack of competitiveness, bringing lower investment opportunities and slower economic growth. This phenomenon is a great obstacle to public service efficiency and employment growth because it is leading to higher poverty and above all instability, dissatisfaction and inequality among citizens. Presence of corruption has become the ˝conduct˝ of living and behaving in certain countries, while in others such activities occur in a much lesser extent. Generally, frequency of corruptive activities in society is on a relatively high level with a presence in all segments of social structures. Unfortunately, corruptive determination has become a reality of overall Croatian society including its entrepreneurial environment. Significant part of Croatian society and entrepreneurship is freely accepting corruption as a concept ˝modus operandi˝ because this predominates their future existence. Corruption is a negative theorem of Croatian national being which destabilizes national economic and social integrity which is already fragile due to a fact that corruption is an obstacle to operations of business subjects and entrepreneurship development. Corruption is a challenge for everyone – there is no country whit its absence, however each country has to oppose it aggressively and fight it with all available measures. In this paper the authors diversify kinds and forms of corruption actions, indicate corruption measurability in global and regional scales and its consequences in the terms of weak Croatian competitiveness. In the same time within this paper authors define segmentation and frequency of corruption in Republic of Croatia and also trying to implicate the importance of anticorruption measures with a goal of neutralizing this relevant social problem.
