Abstract:

Local governments are an essential element of our social and business lives. What a commune can do for the development of entrepreneurship is to appropriately (and in a well-though manner) organize its activities in order to perform the tasks imposed on it and create advantageous conditions for the development of entrepreneurship and local economy. We need to remember and bear fully in mind that the development of entrepreneurship, understood in social categories (human activity) but also in business terms is a necessary condition for general development beneficial to the local community’s welfare. The role of the commune, not only in a time of pandemic and ensuing economic crisis, should consist in strategic and conceptual thinking supported by reliable knowledge and comprehensive analysis of its current condition, in creating and supporting competition in the market and first of all creating the conditions for the development of investments by all instruments available to the commune, by delegating to companies and organizations such duties as need not necessarily be performed directly by the local government, and more. If all that is what is happening and if the commune’s policy in respect of its own tasks is not creating barriers stalling the development of the region, then it makes sense to allocate additional funds in order to support entrepreneurship and the local economy and above all the SME sector.
