Abstract

Malo gospodarstvo sektor je od iznimnog značaja za cjelokupno hrvatsko gospodarstvo. Mikro, mala i srednja poduzeća u 2020. godini zapošljavala su preko 70% svih zaposlenih u poslovnim subjektima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Važan utjecaj malog gospodarstva ogleda se u stvaranju novih radnih mjesta, povećanju ukupne proizvodnje te izvozu. Značajnost ovog sektora gospodarstva je njegova visoka rizičnost te podložnost ekonomskim šokovima. To zahtjeva što bolju i bržu prilagodbu kako bi se negativni učinci sveli na minimum. U ovom diplomskom radu pobliže se upoznaju vrste, uzroci i dijelovi kriza, opisuju se nastanci financijske i COVID-19 krize te njihov utjecaj na globalnu ekonomiju. Upoznaje se sa sektorom malog gospodarstva, povijesnim razvojem i stanjem u Republici Hrvatskoj. Analizira se kretanje sektora malog gospodarstva u Hrvatskoj u razdoblju dva najveća ekonomska šoka novije povijesti; financijske krize započete 2008. godine i COVID-19 krize nastale 2020. godine. Usporedbom odabranih pokazatelja u godinama krize s istima iz stabilnog razdoblja, njihovom sintezom i analizom, utvrđuje se utjecaj različitih vrsta kriza na malo gospodarstvo Republike Hrvatske. Prikazuju se razlike posljedica ekonomskih šokova, njihove pozitivne i negativne strane te reakcije i prilagodbe sektora na različite vrste ekonomskih šokova.

Abstract (english)

The small business is of exceptional importance for the entire Croatian economy. In 2020, micro, small and medium enterprises employed over 70% of all employees in business entities in Croatia. The important impact of a small economy is reflected in the creation of new jobs, an increase in total production and exports. The significance of this sector of the economy is its high risk and sensibility to economic shocks. This requires better and faster adaptation in order to minimize the negative effects. This paper describes the types, causes and parts of crises in more detail. The origins of the financial and COVID-19 crises and their impact on the global economy are also described. It gives insight in the small business sector, its history and situation in Croatia. It analyzes the movement of the small business sector in Croatia during the period of the two biggest economic shocks in recent history; the financial crisis that started in 2008 and the COVID-19 crisis that started in 2020. By comparing selected indicators in the crisis years with those from the stable period, their synthesis and analysis, the impact of different types of crises on the small business of Croatia is determined. It presents the differences in the consequences of economic shocks, their positive and negative sides, and the reactions and adaptations of the sector to different types of economic shocks.
