Course objectives
The course deals with economic and territorial issues of regional development. The subject matter of the teaching blocks is a detailed analysis of feasibility study creation as the material necessary for investment decision making in the process of regional development projects management. Special attention is devoted to the issue of gain and loss analysis; in the introductory part, the basic theory of methodology is covered, financial and social and economic analyses follow. The course finishes with a block dealing with the assessment of development programmes - basic types and levels of assessment are defined and selected assessment instruments are analysed.

The introductory part of the course aims to provide students with information on the economic and territorial issues of the regional development. As a result, the students will be able to consider the causes and the consequences of the interventions implemented in the development of the regions. The detailed description of feasibility study creation will enable the students to learn the basic procedures used in large investment projects management; in practical seminars, the students will be able to apply selected theoretical instruments to model situations. The final part of the course aims at informing the students about the issue of program management in regional development, mainly the basic conditions for its preparation and assessment are defined.
