define close corporation: a corporation with

define cluster:
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
cluster support network:
... 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

network. As a community economic development strategy,
forming the
cluster support network would fall under the best

define communications infrastructure:

development representative. Advances in telecommunications
technology, including the Internet, during the last 20
years of the twentieth century brought this information

generally considered that there were three essential information
categories for gathering facts about a location—demographics, transportation,

define confidentiality:
... protection or
containment of information which would
pose a threat to moving forward with an enterprise
development endeavor should it be revealed
