ASSESMENT OF THE MUNICIPAL TOOLS SUPPORTING ENTEREPRENEURSHIP
Abstract
The paper focuses on the importance o f local communities development and defines the notion of
entrepreneurship. Development of the local economy is one of the most important elements of local
development, and a municipality exercises a direct role in the process.
Legal grounds that enable a municipality to carry out that task are presented. The manner
in which a municipality influences the conditions in which business activity is performed depends
on the strategy a given municipality has adopted. Proper management and stimulation of the
municipal economy requires understanding of its situation and possibilities of its development
as well as the accessibility of the tools and instruments that will effectively contribute to
the achievement of those goals.
The author divides those entrepreneurship support tools into financial and non-financial, and
asserts their efficiency on the basis of empirical studies performed on a sample of six municipalities
and 32 enterprises. It has been found that the most effective are instruments that positively influence
the financial result of companies. To those belong tax relieves and exemptions from property taxes,
development of the industrial land, lower tax on transport vehicles and investments in road
construction.
Non-financial instruments include: stability of the municipal tax policy, openness to new
investment projects, easy access to technical infrastructure, participation of local entrepreneurs
in local investment planning, and creation of fast track investment projects. An important
factor is the attitude of the municipality governance to local entrepreneurs and their role
in the local community. Only effective business and entrepreneurship support achieved using
the available support tools may secure a municipality a long term competitive advantage and
a lasting competitive edge.
