FRA BONO ZVONIMIR ŠAGI'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SOCIAL DOCTRINE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Summary/Abstract: Social entrepreneurship can be seen as a more developed form of entrepreneurship in which classic economic components such as risk and profit are supplemented by social concern for the common good. In order to upgrade traditional entrepreneurship to a higher level of social entrepreneurship, the entrepreneur's responsibility needs to be increased, first of all in choosing the business activity, and then also in the way the entrepreneurial venture is carried out. Also, social support is indispensable, which consists in consciously entrusting a part of traditional social activities to entrepreneurs. Regardless of the fact that entrepreneurs carry out the assumed social activities on market principles, it is more important that their investments in the social sphere free up scarce social resources to meet some other needs that also achieve the common good. Social entrepreneurship has its origins in the individual entrepreneur's concern for meeting socially beneficial needs, and in addition to that, in social, i.e. state, support for these efforts. The social influence on entrepreneurship can also be observed through the application of ethical norms in business, where it is important to observe those norms that derive from the social teachings of the Church. The author wants to show how the Church's social teaching is fully aligned with the modern concept of social entrepreneurship, which aims to standardize social responsibility in business activities. The work is dedicated to the consideration of this topic in the works of Fra Bono Zvonimir Sagi. He was not primarily engaged in the study of entrepreneurship, but in his constant concern for the application of Christian principles in everyday life, he recognized the importance of the social component in all social activities.
