The website, www.cedworks.com, has comments by Stewart Perry pointing out that economic development ... can be a specifically undertaken activity, the same intended consequences might also take place spontaneously, without any deliberate efforts to achieve them. However, the fact that desired improvements do not often appear spontaneously is the reason that the deliberate practice of economic development has arisen. It would seem that spontaneous economic development is the surprising result of enterprise development, sometimes hardly noticed as independent workers, entrepreneurial startups, and established small businesses creep along in their growth within communities. One local economic development practitioner has acknowledged the plethora of explanations of the what his work is all about by posting the following comments online: The adopted AEDC definition was "the process of creating wealth through the mobilization of human, financial, capital, physical, and natural resources to generate marketable goods and services.” Other definitions include: The purposeful intervention into an economy to improve economic well-being; The process that influences growth and restructuring of an economy to enhance the economic well being of a community; The creation of jobs and wealth, and the improvement of quality of life.—Greg Last, Southlake, TX. Most of the operative words and phrases in the above quote can be directly related to what enterprise development brings to the community. Enterprise development mobilizes the human, financial, capital, physical, and natural resources to generate marketable goods and services. The creation of jobs and wealth within an economy is the result of active enterprise developers and investors. FYI: definition of enterprise
