Abstract

Malo gospodarstvo predstavlja razvojnu i pokretačku snagu ekonomskog razvoja. Malo
gospodarstvo u smislu Zakona o poticanju razvoja malog gospodarstva čine subjekti u
poduzetništvu i obrtu. Povezivanje poduzetništva s ekonomskim rastom i razvojem tijekom
dugog vremena postalo je predmet brojnih znanstvenih i stručnih istraživanja. Važna uloga
ovog sektora posebno je vidljiva kroz njegov udio u zaposlenosti, u ukupno ostvarenom
prihodu i izvozu. Prema dostupnim podacima mala i srednja poduzeća imaju udio od 99,7 %
ukupnog broja poduzeća u Republici Hrvatskoj. Poduzetnici i obrtnici prilikom realizacije
svog pothvata trebaju jasno definirati ciljeve i odabrati odgovarajuću strategiju. Kako bi se
istražilo što mali gospodarstvenici smatraju prilikama, a što izazovima provedena je
empirijska analiza među pojedincima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Anketni upitnik su ispitanici
ispunjavali online iz razloga što je na taj način najlakše doći do ispitanika i podataka.
Ispitanici su bili muške i ženske osobe, starije od 18 godina, različitih razina obrazovanja i
različitih zanimanja. Mali gospodarstvenici se susreću s različitim izazovima, a među
najvećim smatraju gubitak uloženog kapitala i birokraciju. Profit je poduzetniku osnovni
motiv i u tome vidi najveću priliku zbog kojeg se odlučio baviti riskantnim poduzetničkim
aktivnostima. Država svojom politikom, mjerama i poticajima treba biti oslonac
poduzetnicima i obrtnicima tijekom realizacije gospodarskog podhvata, te konstantno poticati
razvoj malog gospodarstva.

Abstract (english)

Small businesses represent the development and driving force behind economic development.
Small businesses within the meaning of the Small Business Development Promotion Act are
entities in entrepreneurship and crafts. Connecting entrepreneurship with economic growth
and development over time has become the subject of many scientific and expert researches.
The important role of this sector is particularly evident through its share in employment, in
total revenue and exports. According to the available data, small and medium enterprises
account for 99.7% of the total number of enterprises in the Republic of Croatia. Entrepreneurs
and craftsmen should clearly define their goals and choose the right strategy when
implementing their venture. In order to investigate what small businesses consider
opportunities and what challenges, an empirical analysis was conducted among individuals in
the Republic of Croatia. The questionnaires were taken by the respondents online because it
was the easiest way to reach the respondents and the data. Respondents were male and female
over 18 years of age, with different levels of education and different occupations. Small
businesses face a variety of challenges, with the largest being loss of invested capital and
bureaucracy. Profit is the main motive for the entrepreneur and in this he sees the greatest
opportunity for which he decided to engage in risky entrepreneurial activities. The state,
through its policies, measures and incentives, should be a support to entrepreneurs and
craftsmen during the realization of the economic enterprise, and should constantly encourage
the development of small businesses.
