The entrepreneurial environment consists of several factors, each of which affects business in a certain dimension. In doing so, some factors directly affect the success of the company, while the influence of some other factors is indirect. However, the influence of some factors has been further emphasized by globalization, encouraging various trends in the world economy, population and culture. Globalization has thus, taking place over several centuries, resulted in increased international trade, creating greater dependence on the global economy, but also allowing freer movement of capital, goods and services. All of the above greatly affected companies, their business and the general business environment. Consequently, the thesis deals with the impact of globalization on companies and their business environment. Accordingly, the subject of the research is to define the impact of globalization on the business environment, but also on the overall business of Croatian companies. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on professional and scientific literature and other secondary sources in the field of entrepreneurship and global processes. The empirical part of the paper is based on statistical methods, including data collection, processing and presentation of the obtained data. The paper therefore set three hypotheses, related to the assumption that leadership is the foundation for the success of the organization, that globalization has greatly changed the impact of the entrepreneurial environment and thus strongly affected the business of Croatian companies and that Croatian entrepreneurs consider it a positive process. The paper confirmed the first two hypotheses, while the third was half-confirmed, finding that respondents were unsure of its positive impact on the world, but were confident of a positive impact on their business.
