Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to explain the need for greater work force flexibility and for necessary migrations of Croatian work force within Southeastern Europe and beyond with regard to contemporary trends of world globalization. The paper draws attention to the discrepancy due to uncoordinated legal regulations as well as to collective historical memory of war events on this territory, which does not go hand in hand with modern economic needs. Using the method of induction the paper defines the concept of globalization, gives the definition of present impact of globalization on Croatia and on other Southeastern European countries and mentions negative examples of resistance to changes, i.e. to migrations, as well as positive examples of the integration of our experts in global trends. The theses are that international companies should adjust to local conditions (glocalization) but implicates also that domestic work force, same as legal regulations, should adjust to transnational world economy which implies greater work force flexibility and the elimination of spatial boundaries by gaining different knowledge of new technologies.
