Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2021, vol. 15, issue 1, 506-513

Abstract: Criminal activity, in the minds of everyday individuals, usually means money, power and influence, but at the same time, it represents business like results and entrepreneurial thinking, and nothing brings in more money than organised crime. We are starting to tackle the idea that organised crime can be seen from an entrepreneurial perspective, while underlining the concepts of organised crime, corruption, and several characteristics of organised crime. At the same time, the paper points out some elements regarding the concept of entrepreneurship and some of its characteristics, while drawing a parallel between the two main ideas of the paper organised crime & entrepreneurship. In itself, the paper brings to light and tries to bridge the gap in understanding some of the links between entrepreneurship and organised crime. Considering some of the similarities between the entrepreneurial way and the organised crime method of making money, we are also presenting the results of a brief secondary data analysis based on reports, strategies regarding the economic effects of organised crime.
