Sažetak
This study examines the influence of cultural and educational factors on attitudes toward entrepreneurship in France and Croatia, two countries with distinct historical, cultural, and educational backgrounds. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative insights with quantitative data to analyze how these factors shape entrepreneurial perceptions and intentions. Key findings reveal that cultural norms significantly affect entrepreneurial attitudes, with French culture being more supportive of innovation and risk-taking compared to Croatia, where entrepreneurship is often seen as a necessity rather than an opportunity. Education also plays a crucial role; while formal education is more valued in France, informal education is emphasized in both countries, particularly in Croatia. Common challenges include bureaucratic barriers, limited access to financing, and inadequate government support, although these issues are viewed as more severe in Croatia. The study highlights the need for tailored strategies that address cultural and educational disparities to nurture entrepreneurial ecosystems. Finally, these findings contribute to the understanding of cross-cultural differences in entrepreneurship and provide actionable insights for policymakers seeking to boost entrepreneurial development.
