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.
It may be well said that the most used indicator of the
Sažetak: 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.Ključne riječi: logistika, intelektualno vlasništvo, inovacija, znanje Abstract: 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.
