The question of what a cluster is is answered in Clusters
and the new economics of competition by Michael
Porter in Harvard
Business
Review
(1998). The formation
of a manufacturers
council
is a form of clustering although the collaborating parties
may not necessarily be in close proximity to one another.
A community creates
an environment for clustering when it develops a business
park
and organizes
a collaboration among the enterprises in it ... support specifically dedicated in a specialized
area, for example, say a chamber of commerce forms a information
technology council so that participants can network with
one another, thereby advancing the industry in the community
as a strategy for local economic development. As an operating
body the council would be a cluster support
network. As a community economic development strategy,
forming the
cluster support network would fall under the best
practices efforts of business
retention and business
expansions.
... acquiescence to a law or part of a law as
interpreted by a regulatory
agency; to be operative within a systematically
arranged collection of laws; to be code compliant with
a regulation set forth by a legislative act. Code
compliant means being recognized as having followed
guidelines, specifications, or a legislated mandate,
generally at a point in time after inspection. It may be
said, for example, that a newly installed electrical system
meets code after an inspector, using building
code specifications, approves it as
a retrofit. ... a business
development contact
made with a potential prospect without
giving notice or making an appointment; an
unannounced sales call supported by little or no indication
that it lead to a working relationship. Cold
calling is a part of the practice
of economic
development as a specialized form of marketing. For
example, a group from a community that wants economic development
plans a trip
to to where corporate headquarters are clustered in
order to drum
up an interest
in the location.
One technique is to form teams of volunteers in which case
an effort may be referred to as an economic
development team trip. A point
person may be sent in advance to organize logistics
and go so far as to make cold-call-appointments. ... the services, technology and facilities of
information conveyance in a location;
a location
data element; i.e., key resource category for presenting location
data. Communications infrastructure is one of
the four
essential categories of data that the enterprise
developer should inquire about when utilizing
the services of a location
development representative. Advances in telecommunications
technology, including the Internet, during the last 20
years of the twentieth century brought this information
category to the forefront for site
selectors. Before that time the site selector
generally considered that there were three essential information
categories for gathering facts about a location—demographics, transportation,
and place-data. Commuting is a regular movement between residence and work place
... from one location to the other and back again on a
regular basis. See the definition of commute shed (labor
shed). ... the time it takes to move between a place
of residence and place of work or vice versa. As a general
rule, most commuters prefer to travel one way in 1/2 hour

... protection or containment of information which would pose a threat to moving forward with an enterprise development endeavor should it be revealed at the wrong time or place. A competitor, for example, may act to gain an advantage upon learning about confidential plans and activities tied to a site selection project. A wartime adage from the 20th century makes the point: Loose lips sink ships! Information about protecting
proprietary interests as they relate to private
enterprise is discussed under risk
management as a part of Quick
Step Enterprise Development: a brief look at the process
in five steps. The Site
Selection Directory offers some tips
for protecting enterprise development plans while gathering
information and doing project fieldwork. ... a position held during a transaction where
someone represents both a buyer and seller at the same
time. It is generally held in the law that anyone paid
as a representative of a seller has a vested interest such
that acting as a unbiased, paid, advisor to a prospective
buyer is wrong. A conflict of interest also exist when
someone in position of public trust discreetly represents
or can be influenced by a private interest or party. ... an advisor who applies knowledge and/or experience
to a situation, problem or project, usually for a fee;
a consultancy. Members of

management
consultants which includes
various types of specialists, such as advisors on matters
of commercial
and industrial real estate. Three types of
consulting specialists involved in enterprise
and economic development are pointed out in the
series of pages in Economic Development.net that answer
the question: What is economic
development? One more general example of a management
consultancy is the SCORE/Counselors
to America's Small Businesses.
SCORE, which is an acronym for Service Corps Of Retired
Executives, is a partnership program between the US Business
Administration (SBA)
and volunteer advisors available in
communities throughout the country.
