No samo ostvarivanje takve poduzetničke kulture često koči spora administracija i prevelika birokracija koja se javlja u tranzicijskim zemljama poput Republike Hrvatske, gdje neefikasna javna uprava sa previše zakona i propisa obeshrabruje svakog poduzetnika i investitora da započne svoje poslovanje u Republici Hrvatskoj.
