The main goal of this research is to deeply investigate the sociological aspect of impact from economic elite management patterns from the self-governing system on new Croatian economic elites based on the experience of company employees to determine whether economic elite management patterns are new or inherited. Three specific goals have been formulated in order to go into more details on t topic. The first specific goal is to explore (find) the patterns of management of the Croatian economic elite through the relationship of superior to employee. Another specific goal is to explore (find) patterns of management of the Croatian economic elite through employee relations with superiors. The third and last specific goal is to find specific ways of managing and operating in the company through the creation of a positive working atmosphere. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted on the intended sample. The survey lasted through December 2021 and January 2022. Namely, the participants were chosen because they worked part of their lives in the self-governing system, and part during the Republic of Croatia. According to the participants, there are inherited patterns of governance of the Croatian economic elite, but there are also positive patterns of governance of the old economic elite that the new economic elite should appropriate, but did not. Also, this research could be deepened with more detailed research of younger participants in order to gain a better insight into the new patterns of governance of the new Croatian economic elite.
