Abstract
The paper presents the research of social responsibility in corporations
owned by Varazdin Municipality. Social responsibility is observed in the context
of business ethics with an emphasis on social responsibility in state-owned corporations,
because the corporations owned by municipalities (COM), according
to the ownership criteria, are remarkably like state-owned corporations (SOC).
Corporations owned by local municipalities in Croatia are not state-owned corporations,
but these entities are neither private companies nor public companies
if they are not listed on the stock exchange. As the cities and counties are
both municipalities very similar to the state and governed by the same political
structures, the corporations owned by local municipalities are managed in the
same way as state-owned companies. Thus, the research of social responsibilities
in locally owned corporations can be pilot research of social responsibility in
state-owned corporations on the national level of the Republic of Croatia.
