20.500.12556/DKUM-22866 Vpliv izbranih institucionalnih in individualnih dejavnikov na podjetniško aktivnost ter njihova povezava z gospodarskim in družbenim napredkom The effect of specific institutional and individual factors on entrepreneurial activity and their link to economic and social progress V doktorski disertaciji proučujemo vpliv institucionalnih in individualnih dejavnikov na podjetniško aktivnost ter njihovo povezavo z gospodarskim in širšim družbenim napredkom. Pri tem se srečujemo z različnimi perspektivami podjetništva in različnimi potrebami nacionalne politike, zato je pomembno, da najprej natančno razumemo podjetniške dejavnike in vzpostavimo celovitejši okvir, ki omogoča umestitev podjetništva v jedro konkurenčnosti nacionalne ekonomije. Največjo oviro tovrstnemu proučevanju predstavlja odsotnost splošno sprejete definicije podjetništva, kar predstavlja velik izziv za merjenje in primerjavo podjetništva v mednarodnem okolju in skozi čas. Tudi v primeru poenotenja glede primerne opredelitve podjetništva je težko najti merilno orodje, ki se ujema z izbrano terminologijo. Obstoječe podjetniške mere morajo biti skrbno izbrane in interpretirane, da lahko upoštevamo njihovo relevantnost za politične odločitve. Kompleksno je tudi ugotavljanje podjetniških učinkov, kjer smo v središče obravnave postavili vpliv podjetniške aktivnosti na gospodarsko rast, ki se preliva v stabilen in trajnostni gospodarski ter družbeni razvoj. Omejitve trdih pokazateljev gospodarske rasti, kot je BDP, so znane, zato smo okvir proučevanja razširili z upoštevanjem pokazateljev družbenega napredka, ki se odražajo v osebnem (človekovem) razvoju in trajnostnem razvoju družbe. Osrednji cilj doktorske disertacije je operacionalizacija široko zastavljenega modela proučevanja z namenom oblikovanja ustreznih izhodišč oblikovalcem podjetniške politike. Cilj raziskave je preveriti, ali in v kolikšni meri se povezava med podjetništvom in gospodarsko rastjo ter družbenim napredkom razlikuje med razvitimi in manj razvitimi državami, ter opredeliti v tem okviru pomembne vplivne dejavnike. Iz pregleda literature in različnih empiričnih študij je razvidno, da so raziskovalci doslej namenjali pozornost le posameznim dejavnikom podjetništva, ne pa tudi dovolj celovito – z upoštevanjem in operacionalizacijo individualne in makro ravni obenem. Pri operacionalizaciji raziskovalnega modela se osredotočamo na podatke, ki združujejo informacije o posameznikih, državah in času ter omogočajo raziskovanje vplivnih dejavnikov podjetniške aktivnosti glede na doseženo stopnjo gospodarske razvitosti države. Na tej osnovi smo si zastavili kompleksno raziskovalno vprašanje o tem, ali je mogoče vzroke za odkritje in ovrednotenje poslovne priložnosti ter pričetek podjetniške aktivnosti iskati v dejavnikih institucionalnega okolja, v katerih se priložnosti porajajo, in značilnostih posameznikov, ki jih izkoriščajo. Ugotavljali smo, ali je na ta način vzpostavljena povezava z gospodarskim in družbenim napredkom ter zagotovljena jasnejša slika oblikovalcem političnih ukrepov za pospeševanje podjetništva. Ker so v zadnjih letih različni viri podatkov privedli do protislovnih in nezadostnih empiričnih ugotovitev, smo v disertaciji na enem mestu sistematično prikazali, s katerimi pomembnejšimi mednarodno primerljivimi merami, ki so pomembne za sprejemanje in analizo političnih odločitev za povečevanje podjetniškega potenciala, se lahko merijo podjetniška aktivnost in opredeljeni vplivni dejavniki podjetništva. Na tej osnovi smo operacionalizirali zastavljeni model proučevanja podjetniškega procesa in njegove komponente v povezavi z gospodarsko rastjo in družbenim napredkom. Z upoštevanjem dveh različnih ravni obravnave smo potrdili pomen razlikovanja med posameznimi tipi podjetništva in njihovimi učinki v različnih gospodarskih okoljih. The Doctoral Dissertation examines the effect of specific institutional and individual factors on entrepreneurial activity and their link to economic and social progress. In the course of the examination, we encounter various viewpoints regarding entrepreneurship and the different needs of national politics. Therefore it is important that we first accurately understand influential entrepreneurship factors and establish a more holistic framework, which positions the entrepreneurship in the core of the competitiveness of a given national economy. The biggest obstacle for such examination is the lack of a commonly accepted definition of entrepreneurship, a fact that makes measuring and comparing entrepreneurship in an international capacity and through time a challenging endeavour. Even provided that we can agree upon the useful definition of entrepreneurship, finding a measuring tool which corresponds to the chosen terminology remains an issue. The existing entrepreneurship measures must be carefully selected and interpreted, so that their relevance can be adequately taken into account when preparing policy making decisions. Examination of entrepreneurship outcomes, where the focal point is on the influence of entrepreneurial activity on the growth of the economy, which translates into stable and sustainable economic and social development, is also complex. As the many indicators of economic growth (e.g. GDP) have a limited explanatory power, we therefore broadened the research framework by considering also the indicators of social progress, which are reflected in personal (human) development and the sustainable development of society. The main objective of the Doctoral Dissertation is the operationalization of the broadly defined research model for the purpose of forming appropriate foundations for the creators of entrepreneurship policies. The research objective is to determine, whether and to what extent the link between entrepreneurship, economic growth and social progress differs between the developed and the less developed countries, and to define important influential factors in this framework. The literature and various empirical studies demonstrate that past researchers have focused only on specific entrepreneurship factors and that the synchronous consideration and operationalization of the individual and macro levels had not received the appropriately holistic approach. In the process of the operationalization of the research model, we focus on pieces of data that include information about individuals, countries and time and allow for the research of influential factors of entrepreneurial activity, based on the country’s achieved level of economic development. On this basis, we defined a complex research question, whether it is possible to determine the reasons for the discovery and evaluation of a business opportunity and the beginning of entrepreneurial activity in the factors of an institutional environment in which opportunities arise, and in the characteristics of individuals that exploit them. We were trying to provide clearer picture of interdependence between entrepreneurship and socio-economic progress, and to create more reliable foundations for policy making suggestions. Because in the past, various data sources caused contradictory and inconclusive empirical findings, in this Dissertation, we systematically present, in one place, which important internationally comparable measurements that are important for making and analysing political decisions regarding the increase of entrepreneurial potential can be used to measure entrepreneurial activity and the defined influential factors of entrepreneurship. On this basis, we operationalized the defined model of the entrepreneurial process examination and its components in relation to economic growth and social progress. By considering two different approach levels, we confirmed the meaning of the differentiation among specific types of entrepreneurship and their effects in various economic environments. podjetništvo individualne značilnosti podjetnika dejavniki institucionalnega okolja poslovne priložnosti podjetniška aktivnost merjenje podjetništva gospodarska rast gospodarski in družbeni napredek podjetniška politika entrepreneurship individual attributes of entrepreneur business environment factors business opportunities entrepreneurial activity measuring entrepreneurship economic growth economic and social development entrepreneurship policy true true false K.
