ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR OR THE CONCEPT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The term “performance management” is commonly used in Western literature whereas in Poland it has no commonly accepted equivalent. More frequently the term “budżet zadaniowy” (the performance budget) is used, even if the performance budget constitutes only one of the elements of the wider conception of the performance management. In the Polish public sector the conception of the performance budget has been implemented for twenty years, although neither in the local government sector nor in the government sector has the decision concerning the replacement the traditional budget by the performance budget been taken. What is more, foreign experiences in this field are much richer, because the first attempt at introducing to the public sector the new methods of management took place in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century.
