Entrepreneur participation in the public economic decision-making process at a local level

Abstract

Nowadays, outdated local policy-making is exhausted. It seems that we should increasingly incorporate other – external entities into the management structure in order to streamline and rationalize the process of public decision-making, which directly affects the economic development of the region. The answer to this need is the concept of public management. The group which in the opinion of the authors should have an impact on public decision-making in the  economic sphere, are undoubtedly the entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, in the authors’ opinion they have no real influence on the course of events at the local level. The reason for this is, among other things, the lack of (a) unified representation – common economic self-government.
