Municipal Companies. Form of Local Enterprise

Summary/Abstract: Knowledge about the operation of municipal companies in Poland is small. They occupy an important place in local government and play a significant role in meeting social needs. These entities have a large public property, which they use in the process of implementing local government tasks. Municipal companies are one of the basic organizational forms in achieving local government goals. From a theoretical point of view, these companies are the subject of research interest and the economic category, characterized by specific features. They function in the sphere of public utility as well as beyond it. On the basis of a municipal company there is the phenomenon of information asymmetry and the conflict of social and economic goals. For this reason, these entities remain under the control of local government authorities and administrations, becoming regulated enterprises.
