The Role of Cities in Creating on the Business-science Partnerships. An example of Wrocław Solutions
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of the article is to indicate the possibility of creating and developing of the science-business partnerships with an emphasis on the active role of local (municipal) authorities on the example of Wrocław’s activities.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The main research problem is the analysis of the scope and forms of activity of public authorities at the local level in creating areas of local development based on the theory of regimes and the concept of the enabling government. The methods used to operationalize the objectives are: the micro-range system method, indicating the importance of the city in building local partnerships, the institutional and legal method describing the formal conditions of the MOZART Program, and neo-institutionalism of rational choice allowing to determine the effects of the Program.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The research hypothesis for the problem presented above is that contemporary development challenges posed to cities on the one hand enforce and on the other support the activities of local authorities in creating government to citizen and business to public relations. The main premise of the article relates to the changing role of cities in Europeanization processes.
RESEARCH RESULTS: As a result of the analysis, it was proved that the active role of local government favors the creation of intersectoral partnerships.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: One of the key areas of the city’s contemporary activity is the creation of cross-sectoral partnerships, engaging the resources science and the economy partners. The MOZART Program, implemented by the city of Wrocław since 2012, is a kind of organizational innovation. This initiative, inspired by European solutions, but at the same time strongly inscribed and growing out of endogenous needs, allows the local government to launch cooperation and activity of public-private entities.
