Enterprises functioning in the market economy consider survival and development to constitute the most general goal of their activity. Survival is the essential goal, first of all implemented in practice in the situation of a recession or an economic stagnation, on which the completion of the majority of other postulates depends. However, every organization which implements the survival goal, in consequence must be development-oriented. The necessity of the enterprise transformation, that is its adaptation to changing conditions of the environment means constant proceeding to a higher stage of development which is conditioned by external and internal changes. Maintaining balance between external and internal conditionings is related to the individual needs of an enterprise, its position on the market, long-term prospects for development and the assessment of the current situation and the effectiveness of management. The postulates presented above, referring to the determination of strategic directions of the enterprise activity, must be confronted in today’s economic reality with the idea and the main assumptions of the Value Based Management concept, which has now become one of the leading concepts of enterprise management, acceptable by the majority of its shareholders. The paper attempts to identify relations between the process of development and the process of enterprise value creation, developing primarily the subject of common goals, determinants and the strategy of both processes.

This may result in delays in funds distribution. Currently, this is the case of funds designated for enterprise development which is the focus of the article. The basic provisions that regulate transfer of money at the EU level were published only a few days before the new financial perspective started. While the basic provisions at the national level came into force after several months since the beginning of the eligibility period. Consequently, executory provisions and individual programmes are being developed only now.

Moreover, the results in the study were compared with the results of surveys that included 49 interviews with representatives of local authorities. On the basis of the analysis, two statements were made: 1) local authorities use different municipal tools supporting entrepreneurship on the local area; and 2) economic tools seem to have a dominant influence on the effective accomplishment of a local government’s activity in the field of enterprise development in the different types of communes. The article confirmed the above mentioned hypothesis and demonstrated statistically significant differentiation in the use of municipal tools supporting entrepreneurship by municipal, rural, and mixed communes in the Wielkopolska Province.
