Sažetak
The purpose of this article is to define nature, basis, and the effects of the economic
development policy conducted by local governments in Poland. The analyses
carried out are designed to define the role of local authorities in the management
of economic development in the area. Furthermore, the purpose of this article is to
analyse instruments for supporting economic development, which can be
potentially used by local governments in Poland. The realization of this objective
is possible by using descriptive methods based on a review of literature and the
various types of documents and analysis on the policy of both the economic
development and activities of local government, which implement this policy. The
method of system analysis is also partially used in the article, and some results of
surveys conducted among Polish and foreign investors and entrepreneurs in 2011
are presented. The article assumes that in spite of having a number of instruments,
both formal and material, for encouraging economic development and business
development, most local governments narrowly assess the current state of
entrepreneurship and development trends, and perform an insufficient analysis of
the potential of their area. Secondly, the formulated goals of economic development
are not very innovative, ambitious or concrete. Furthermore, they do not arise directly from the analysis of the micro and macro-environment that affects the
position and development of local government.
