Organising Local Economic Development
The Role of Development Agencies and Companies
Development processes occur within a wider geographical area than local government, and in some cases encompass a broader scope than provincial or national governments. Thus substantial inter-governmental co-operation and public-private partnership are needed. This book identifies how development agencies and companies work, what they do and what constitutes success and value added. It explores international practices in a variety of locations and contexts, and defines both the success factors and the challenges associated with economic development agencies and companies.

It combines expertise from America, Australasia and Europe into pragmatic task forces that provide rapid responses and targeted advice on specific issues.
