The book ¿A captive society and macro national system, corruption & demography¿ came as a logical result of many discussions and reflections among my friends and colleagues who love Croatia and the European Union and who, through writing and research, want to support development, but also a civilized life in Croatia and all countries in transition to the EU. Croatia, a young country, the realization of the ancient Croatian dream of its own country, has become what we not expected. We asked ourselves why this is so? What are the real reasons that we encounter the ¿rule of law¿ which becomes opposite or everyday life? Croatia, a country of the Mediterranean, a country rich in resources and beauty, from green Slavonia to the blue Adriatic, a country that has all the prerequisites to live side by side with Switzerland, but reality tells us something completely different. This very fact encouraged us to open up this issue through this book, because we should know the answer in order to tell our students and young people to ¿stay here¿, which is hard to say at the moment.

After the collapse of totalitarian regimes in Europe, national economies finally faced the only possible option of economic development, a market-driven economy. Generation educated and working on non-market-oriented ethatist political and economic systems got into the problem because of the inability to quickly adapt to the market economy or because of the deep ignorance. With the formation of the European Union, these problems spilled on the surface, as the leading developed states and EU economies sought to quickly connect the economies of the new/old states which were in transition. Encouraged by the demands of economic development, the transition economies have begun to develop their national models of development, which are compilation of the old non-market models. There have been many problems which have made such models ineffective,resulting in a low rate of development of economies in transition. Each state started its way building a kind of development model. This issue is very topical, so it would be interesting to analyze and explain the example of Croatia and Poland, i.e. tourism and nautical tourism, which is of particular importance to both economies.

Within the broad overall framework of controlling research, the work of Lukovi¿ / Lebefromm focuses on a core area: corporate planning. The book is divided into two main chapters. In the first part, the business management basics of planning are presented. The second part deals with planning and plan integration in the SAP ERP system. The first chapter, which is based on theory, focuses on operational planning. However, it also relates to long-term or strategic planning and explains why strategic planning, based on operational planning, is essential in a modern controlling system. The second part of the book, which closely follows the planning steps in the SAP ERP system, focuses on production planning. Both chapters together offer both the student and the practitioner a solid introduction to the world of planning.
