Projecting Small Economics within Rural Development Context: a Case-study Approach

This presentation is made out of educational sources collected in ten years of author’s work and implemented in author’s professional teaching practice related to Business Ethics course at both undergraduate and graduate study programs at Balthazar University of Applied Sciences in Zaprešić – Republic Croatia. The paper also tends to show twofold purpose of teaching Business Ethics (BE) as special discipline of Social or Applied Ethics within Project Development context and the impact of theoretical position on projecting small economics within rural development context of North-Western part(s) of the Republic of Croatia. BE is higher institutes course which arose from educational system specific to higher education institutions involved with teaching and training youth in economic practice: business, management and regional development, and the course itself at both public and private higher education institutes in Croatia is shaped due to cultural, social, economic (i. e. regional), political and legal context of South-Eastern European (so- called) “societies in transition” (e. g. Republic of Croatia, Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Serbia, Republic of Montenegro, Republic of Macedonia and alike) appeared nearly three decades ago after the fall of “the iron curtain” in Europe (in 1989), and those societies are known as autonomous and integrative political identities that was shaping cultural, economic and social picture known under the title former Socialistic Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. So, the second purpose of this elaboration is related to understanding the very foundations of the role of the local (self-)government within Croatian democratic political hierarchy, hence the organization of Croatian economy in the rural parts of the country. Knowledge plays great role in projecting and forming rural economy (e. i. rural entrepreneurship) and its policy attached to rural progress.
