Economics
A community has a responsibility for the general terms and conditions in the economic environment. Sometimes financial guidelines and the commitment to the regional economy seem not to be reconcilable. Such contradictions frequently have to be handled when discussing cooperation and merger. Practical examples are flood protection projects, the reorganization of the fire department and sewage treatment on a regional level. Frequently it is true that the best solution is not the most expensive one. An analytical approach helps you to find the optimum that reaches also the political score.
