Assessing the impact of strategic management tools in rural communes

Abstract

The constantly and turbulently changing environment forces local government units to adapt their strategic assumptions in such a way that they ultimately lead to a constant and successive development of the commune. Strategic management is one of the foundations and basis for good and effective municipal management. In its essence, it involves constant monitoring of changes in the environment, while paying special attention to issues related to owned assets. In the research process, 14 rural communes located in the Częstochowa County were subjected to the study. The subject of the study itself was essentially focused on issues related to the identification of task-related tools with shaping strategic management, through tools for spatial development of strategic factors in rural local government units of the Częstochowa County, ending with financial tools shaping strategic factors. The obtained research results show that the main determinants shaping individual tools are entrepreneurship support programs, local spatial development plans and long-term financial forecasts. Getting to know these tools creates a picture of the presentation of the most important and necessary tools in the process of strategic management of the rural local government unit of Częstochowa County.
