Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja kluczowych paradoksów w zarządzaniu strategicznym, przybliżenie ich genezy, przejawów i następstw. Dobór paradoksów nastąpił w oparciu o model napięć organizacyjnych, zaadaptowany do kontekstu zarządzania strategicznego. Na bazie krytycznego przeglądu literatury, wśród najważniejszych paradoksów obecnych w zarządzaniu strategicznym przyjęto następujące pary: krótki vs długi horyzont, indywidualizm vs kolektywizm, konkurencja vs współpraca, eksploracja vs eksploatacja oraz cele finansowe vs cele CSR.

Communal self-government has substantially increased its role since 1989. Although new chances and opportunities have been given, many new threats and problems had to be faced up. Local development is the most important aim of communal selfgovernment. This paper describes the main problems, regarding the process of local development, that the local communities are dealing with. It also indicates its the main causes of observed difficulties. The current stare analysis is based on empirical approach."

In order to successfully handle this task, it is not enough just to involve managers and employees of the given organisation, but it is also necessary to foster conditions favourable to improving management processes for public entities. Since management control is a rather new instrument of the public finance system, the need for ongoing monitoring of the progress taking place in the sphere of its implementation in individual institutions is becoming more and more evident. Bearing the foregoing in mind, the authors of the article have attempted to assess the extent of the management control implementation in local self-government bodies by analysing the declarations made by the these institutions pertaining to the management control status for the years 2010-2011.

Strategies are applied by municipalities to develop their full potential. A key factor in effective use of strategies for local development are criteria for selecting strategic goals. The article is an attempt to provide applicable selection criteria recommended for local authorities for selection of strategic goals. Methods: Finding a solution to this crucial part of creating any local development strategy required a range of different exploratory methods and techniques. The research process was based on mixed (both qualitative and quantitative) research methods. Purposeful sampling was applied for choosing in-depth interviews. Results: Despite the huge differences in the level of development of municipalities in the Lower Silesia they exhibit remarkable similarities in the ways of creating and selecting goals. The conducted research showed that the criteria applied were inconsistent and varying which was a crucial drawback from the viewpoint of strategic management. The lack of stable, objective criteria impaired an effective attainment of strategic goals which in result hampered the implementation of local development strategy. Conclusions: The combination of results of literature review and advanced empirical research allowed to provide selection criteria applicable for selecting strategic goals. They should be considered as a starting point to create "good practices" regarded as general pattern solutions for local authorities. Practical implications: Research results indicate a neglected area in the field of local developmentmunicipalities are mainly unaware of the factors resulting in the dramatically low level of implementation of strategic plans. Identified problems require local governments to take actions to overcome them. Current solutions to selecting strategic goals are unsatisfactory. The criteria presented in this paper offer crucial applicable recommendations to help municipalities overcome diverse difficulties of selecting goals in local development strategies. The additional value is the fact that the application of suggested criteria does not require large financial input, and are likely to support public sector's development efforts.

This is reflected in a recently observed increased interest of communes in working out local development strategies. It is obvious that it is only half of the success to develop a good strategy. Equally important is the implementation process and the main question is how to transform long term objectives defined in a strategy into activities undertaken by local authorities in a yearly prepared budget. Therefore the article describes current barriers and main facilitators in proper functioning of strategy implementation process on the example of Lubań, commune from Lower Silesian region.

Celem artykulu jest analiza atrakcyjności inwestycyjnej aglomeracji wroclawskiej w latach 2009–2013 i wskazanie jej silnych oraz slabych stron na podstawie badan desk-research, ktore wskazują, ze za szczegolnie korzystne czynniki rozwoju wojewodztwa dolnośląskiego nalezy uznac najwyzszy poziom rozwoju infrastruktury gospodarczej oraz najwyzszą aktywnośc inwestycyjną wobec inwestorow w latach 2009–2013. Za niekorzystne czynniki nalezy natomiast uznac: utrate przewagi w zakresie dostepności transportowej w latach 2009–2013 oraz najnizszy w Polsce poziom bezpieczenstwa powszechnego w 2013 roku.

These changes are particularly evident when the goals of Polish enterprises set in the first decade after the transformation are compared to those set today. During the whole period after the transformation, the strategic objectives of Polish enterprises have been highly expansive and the growth of the size of a company has been the desired choice. Research carried out during the last crisis showed that a the change of external conditions and the higher risk of a worse financial situation caused by the economic crisis made enterprises rearrange their goals hierarchy and favour goals related to harmonious and safe development and multiplying the value for the owners. This is one of the elements in the change in managers' attitude, which the economic crisis helped in opening an opportunity to improve the quality of enterprise development management.
