Implementation of the euro in the Slovak Republic and its impact on entrepreneurial sector

This Bachelor thesis provides us with information about the implementation of the euro in the Slovak Republic with stress on entrepreneurial non-financial sector. The first goal of the thesis is to gather up and consequently evaluate the theoretical findings connected with the stated topic. The second goal is to verify the theoretical findings based on information gathered from a group of respondents to an online questionnaire. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is focused on the legislature preparation and the fulfillment of the Maastricht convergence criteria. The rest of the thesis deals with the entrepreneurial sector. The purpose of the second chapter is to classify the entrepreneurial sector and analyse the entrepreneurial environment via international institutions and indexes. Responsibilities of entrepreneurial subjects connected with implementation of the euro are also included in the second chapter. The third chapter examines the impacts of the euro on the entrepreneurial sector by comparing estimations from the period in which Slovak crown was used as the national currency with figures after 2009. The last and practical oriented chapter is based on my own research.
