“…Entrepreneurship is a significant part of the economic system of every country, having important effects on the growth of the entire society. Therefore, many authors put emphasis on the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the effective functioning of an economic system (Dobeš et al, 2017;Kozubíková et al, 2017;Virglerova et al, 2017;Czarniewski, 2016;Dubravska et al, 2015).…”

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are an essential part of every country's economic system. The quality of the business environment plays an important role in this regard. The aim of the paper was to define and quantify important public sector factors influencing the quality of the business environment in the SME segment and to compare the intensity of the defined factors between the Czech Republic (CR) and the Slovak Republic (SR). In regards to the defined aim, a survey-based research was conducted with enterprises operating in the SME segment. 312 enterprises in CR and 329 enterprises in SR were approached during this research. The scientific hypotheses were verified using the methods of Pearson statistics. The evaluation of political factors is quite negative in both countries. Only 15% of Czech and 20% of Slovak entrepreneurs positively evaluated the level of legislation in business. Both Czech and Slovak entrepreneurs see state's support of export quite positively. Only 12% of Czech and 22% of Slovak entrepreneurs positively evaluated the administrative burden on enterprises. Entrepreneurs in both countries claim that the state is unable to provide qualified workforce for businesses. Most significant differences between the two countries were found in the evaluation of state bureaucracy which the Slovak entrepreneurs evaluated more positively than their Czech counterparts. The results of the research show the need to deal with urgent issues, or create a better system of public factors influencing the business environment.

“…The results of the survey by Virglerova et al (2017) "have demonstrated that four groups of key determinants can be identified in the business environment studied among SMEs in the Czech Republic. The first and most global determinant is "State and public perception" which includes both the country's legislative background and the general public's perception of entrepreneurs.…”

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the quality of the business environment in the segment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Czech and the Slovak Republic. In regards to the defined aim a survey-based research was conducted with enterprises operating in the SME segment. Responses from 312 enterprises in the Czech Republic and 329 enterprises in Slovak Republic were obtained via an online questionnaire during this research. The research brought some interesting findings. The evaluation of the business environment in both countries is relatively negative. The current risk rate of the business environment received a more positive rating in both countries. Significant differences in entrepreneurs' notions were discovered when evaluating the development of business environment in the recent past. Entrepreneurs of both countries were rather skeptical in evaluating the current quality of business environment in regards to starting a business.

Both Russia and Croatia are the great seafaring nations with glorious past, complicated present and, hopefully, a rewarding future. The countries that historically had long sea borders are almost destined to become the global shipbuilding centres. Since the ancient times, the marine shipping routes have connected the most distant nations, countries and entire continents through trade and economic relations. At the same time, the high seas were also a place for the constant battles between the fl eets of the major seafaring nations. Thus, both civil and naval shipbuilding was and will always be of utmost importance for any country with a sea access. The product of this industry stays in demand at any time and under any circumstances-both during the periods of growth and the times of crises. The shipbuilding is subject to the same kind of diffi culties as the economy as a whole, but due to the technological specifi cs of this industry it has some additional specifi c problems. This article deals with the comparative analysis of the recent and current state of the shipbuilding industries of Croatia and Russia. We tried to fi nd out the problems that are similar for the shipbuilding industries of both countries, as well as their national particularities. The main diffi culty for the comparative analysis was the fact that while the major part of the Croatian shipbuilding is civil, the Russian industry is predominantly naval. However, it does not preclude the existence of common problems, for the research of which the comparative analysis could be a useful tool. Sažetak I Rusija i Hrvatska poznate su pomorske zemlje sa slavnom pomorskom tradicijom, složenim okolnostima u današnjim vremenima i, nadajmo se, budućnošću koja obećava. Zemlje koje imaju dugu obalu gotovo neizbježno postaju svjetska središta brodogradnje. Od davnih su vremena putovi prijevoza morem povezivali najudaljenije narode, zemlje i cijele kontinente s pomoću trgovine i ekonomskih odnosa. Istovremeno, oceani su predstavljali mjesta stalnih sukoba između fl ota najvećih pomorskih nacija. Stoga je i civilna i ratna brodogradnja bila i bit će uvijek najznačajnija za svaku zemlju koja ima izlaz na more. Uvijek postoji potražnja za proizvodima ove industrije-i u vrijeme rasta i u vrijeme krize. Brodogradnja je izložena jednakim problemima kao i ekonomija u cjelini, ali zbog svojih tehnoloških posebnosti ova industrija ima dodatne specifi čne probleme. U ovome radu daje se komparativna analiza stanja brodograđevnih industrija u Hrvatskoj i Rusiji kakve su bile u posljednje vrijeme i kakve su danas. Pokušalo se otkriti probleme u brodograđevnoj industriji koji su slični u objema zemljama, kao i različitosti. Najveća prepreka u komparativnoj analizi bila je činjenica da je većina brodogradnje u Hrvatskoj za civilne potrebe, dok je u Rusiji pretežito za vojne potrebe. Međutim, time se ne isključuju zajednički problemi, a ova komparativna analiza može poslužiti boljem istraživanju tih problema.
