Summary/Abstract: The article describes the actions taken by the communist authorities as part of the implementation of the reform of the Great Economic Organizations (the so-called WOG reform). It was an extensive reform of industry management in a centrally planned economy. Its main assumption was the decentralization of industrial production management by granting a number of allowances to economic organizations. The second part of the text is devoted to the general principles of functioning of economic organizations in the new economic and financial system, focusing on the issue of production, wage fund and investment. The research method used is the analysis of the content, both of the existing studies from the period and archival official documents.
