Business Culture and International Cooperation of Slovenian Enterprises

摘要

The paper deals with the role of business culture in business cooperation in Slovenia as one of 'transition economies'. The authors claim that business culture is an important factor of international cooperation of enterprises. In the case of Slovenia, business culture is relatively compatible with the one in developed Western market economies. However, there are some problematic 'cultural' points which are obstacles for both internationalisation and higher level of competitiveness of Slovenian economy. These traits that are related to wider cultural context of Slovenian society are part of former system's heritage but they also derive from gradualist approach that characterised the process of economic transformation in Slovenia.
