“…-the need to keep records in two different ways, resulting in additional burdens for public administration, -difficulties in assessing the status and directions of development of the public finance sector, as this involves analyzing two different systems of classification and understanding of the differences between them, -difficulties in deciding on the shape of the budget act by MPs, who must be able to accurately relate the consequences of their decisions to the traditional and activitybased systems, -inconsistency in the institutional and legal system due to the fact that some data such as the National Long-term Financial Plan, is presented only in activity-based system but result in provisions, which have consequences for subsequent budget acts, which are prepared both in the traditional and activity-based systems. Some of the selected examples of the implications arising from the use of two different methods of classification, which may become the main cause of the risk arising from a revolution in the institutional arrangement of the public sector, associated with implantation of the traditional classification among administration personnel, and thus the efficiency in the use of this method, according to Robinson (2013), Lorain et al (2015), Harasym et al (2017), Alam & Lawrence (1994).…”

Performance budgeting has been functioning in Poland for almost twelve years now and it still can be said that it is a challenge for the entire sector. So far many countries have attempted to implement it, proposing a transition from the traditional budget to the performance budgeting. It should be noted that this also causes a change in thinking which does not come too easily, especially in case of managing public administration. In addition, the performance budgeting is a key element of the management system. The purpose of this paper is to show that the replacement of traditional budget with performance budgeting is desirable in public administration. It would lead to the improvement of the quality of state management and as a tool it would allow to effectively monitor and evaluate the results and efficiency of budgetary funds administrators. The performance budgeting is a tool for public governance management. The applied research methods are the method of critical analysis of literature studies and the analysis of the advantages of drawing up a task-based budget in relation to the traditional budget in managing the public finances unit. These methods will be presented in the context of their suitability to demonstrate that it is necessary to convert the traditional budget into a budget in a task setting, in public administration. The basic hypothesis is the assumption that the use of a task-based budget will lead to improvement in the quality of state management, and as a tool it will allow effective monitoring and evaluation of the results and effectiveness of budget part managers.

“…Empirical research confirms the impact of the size of local government administration at a municipal level on entrepreneurship, but this impact is not clear. It has been observed that the increase in the size of administration affects entrepreneurship in a negative way [ 11 ]. This justifies the need to observe this issue from the digital technique point of view.…”

The location quotient is one of the basic quantitative tools for identifying the regional poles and the turnpikes of economic growth in spatial economy. The disadvantage of this traditional measure is the limited scope of economic information contained in it. The new measure of economic development proposed in the article encompasses a complex spectrum of phenomena in one number, as it takes into account the influence of the public administration sector, as well as top technology in the form of ICT and its practical business models. It also takes into account the digital prosumption and the platforms for participation. The participation platforms in the public administration sector are the websites of municipal public administration offices. A cluster analysis was used to distinguish four quality classes of these websites. These classes were assigned four different colours, which were then used to draw up a map of the selected province. Each municipality is marked with a colour that corresponds to the quality class of the website of the state administration office operating on its territory. The colour system resulting from the four-colour theorem and the corresponding dual graph play the role of a reference system in relation to each empirical colour distribution and another dual graph related to it. The measure of the economic development of a region is the degree of reduction of the dual graph corresponding to the empirical distribution of colours, which identifies the actual growth poles and determines the routes of growth. The presented indicator better and more precisely identifies poles and routes of economic growth than the traditional location quotient.

Municipalities play a particularly important role including the creation of appropriate living conditions and organising the proper functioning and development of the economy. This study examines how Polish and Latvian local governments foster entrepreneurship and the efficacy of financial and non-financial tools employed by local authorities in facilitating entrepreneurial endeavors. Analyzing data from 896 Polish municipalities and 119 Latvian units, the study identifies differences in support mechanisms and their impact on entrepreneurship dynamics. The results reveal differences in support mechanisms between the two countries and their correlation with the establishment of new enterprises. The findings offer insights for policymakers to tailor strategies conducive to local entrepreneurship.
