Sažetak
With our qualitative study of managers in private and state owned companies we wanted to see how the ownership structure of the firm influences the manner social capital affecting knowledge transfer within organizations is used and created. We anticipated that different mechanisms and different stakeholders seem to be important when forming the management’s social capital. We observed the phenomena with an emphasis on the fact that Croatia is still in the early phase of development of good corporate governance practices and is characterized with a closed system of corporate governance. Also, we wanted to offer some practical implications considering the necessity of changing unconventional corporate governance practices in Croatia. Considering that this type of research has never been undertaken in this region, our study opens up new research horizons to be investigated with regard to idiosyncrasies of (post)transition economies.
