Development of an Institutional Model of Organizational Structure of Rural Development Agencies
In Chapter 6, the author uses modeling to advocate and develop a new institutional model of organizational structure of rural development agencies that should maintain close collaborative links with both SMEs and local-regional development agencies. The concrete context of the chapter addresses different scenarios and models for innovatively conceived rural and entrepreneurial development. The author structures the departments of potential rural development agencies in improving their sophisticated organizational culture and strategy and places significance on management. Establishment of rural development agencies represents only a starting point for further development of these regions and their SMEs. Such a model of institutional and material support to the development of rural entrepreneurship, of course, requires a proactive approach of rural leaders and managers in further learning and successful mastering of the basics of rural development and management. This chapter completes the second section of the book.
