real-world
... an expression used to compare the virtual
world or the experience of being online to
that which is the real environment that surrounds you.
In times past, for example, when one person met another
it
meant being in an environment of
fact or actuality wherein both could sense a verifiable
existence. With today's communication technology applied
it is possible to meet someone without actually employing
the senses directly. Let's say for the sake of clarification
that two people meet face-to-face,
so to speack, to build a working relationship ... real-world!
Now let's say that two people use the Web to find one another
and exchange information for building or maintaining that
same type of relationship. That is virtual
networking. It's the same a real to the extend
of getting something done; i.e., for all practical purposes
it's real..

... the taking of part profits above a
set amount, usually by government taxation.
A recapture
clause is the part of a percentage lease agreement

tape.
referral fee:
... payment for information that leads to a sale
or deal; a finders
fee; a referral bonus when employers
pay employees who play a role gaining a new customer or
worker.
region (1):
... a land area having a name that, for example,
comes from its history or a geographic feature; a geographical
area. A region as defined here has communities tied
together by a transportation network.
A global region is a large area usually made up of a number
of counties. A territory, state, province or the like within
a country is a region. Regions may also
exist within them. See development
region and city-region.
Also, see the following definition.
region (2):
... a geographic area identified at the outset
of an enterprise
development effort as one in which a search
is to be conducted in order to find a location;
a targeted area from which a site
selector gathers location
data and
makes comparative
analyses; a search area defined for the
specific purpose of enterprise development as opposed to
one that fits the definition of geographical
region. The
region described here can be as small as the enterprise
developer wants it to besee city-region.
The smart enterprise development approach is to build a
network of contacts, resource
and service providers, within
a region as a place
of interest.
regional economic development ... area
development.
regions as locations:
... geographic areas as places
of interest to
enterprise
developers and site
selectors. It's likely that
someone will point to a map to define
a region of interest as the
process of searching for a location begins;
if not a map, the reference may be made to a place, such
as a city, that considered to be at the heart of a
geographic area as its economic and transportation
center. For that reason, The Network uses the expression
city-region so that geographic areas as locations of
consideration can be named for listing in Site Location
Assistance.com. Any region around the world seeking
economic development is offered the opportunity to list
for free in Site Location Assistance by the names its lead
city or otherwise and to include publication of a link,
also for free, to the website of an appropriate location
data supplier.

... a way of inducing or influencing a group
performance by allowing individuals to take charge during

relocation:
... the act of permanently leaving one place
and moving to another. Enterprise
developers run the risk
of loosing experienced employees when considering moves
that stretch commute
time or otherwise make commuting impractical.
Calling it what it is: A site
selection project can be
a relocation
project. Representatives
of places that seek economic development who see themselves
as involved in relocation work discount the lofty definitions
of their work. Locations shoot themselves in foot when
they provide incentives in pursuit of growth and development
that
encourage
relocations within their economy,
say, within a country. Site selection projects that result
in winners and losers in an economy by relocating,
for example, jobs position government to shift capital
from an area of vitality to support an area in need of
welfare while skimming a share off the top to support its
bureaucracy.
relocation services:
... assistance available or provided
as during a business move; a specialization within the site
selection process, for example, provided by a
consultant when the client is planning a relocation.

Resource Report; The:
... The name of a newsletter once published
online that
announced resource contributions
and suggestions made by .network users.
The webfile names of its various issues are stored in the
resource
archive of Site Location Assistance.com. Original

resource/service organizations:
... all of the various enterprises that
house resource and/or service
providers who are part of the .network target
user group. Resource suppliers (see below)
differ from service
providers in that they contribute without becoming
involved in a working relationship for an extended period.
For example, The Network is supplying the glossary

functionality; e.g., to retrofit is to go back and change, modify
or upgrade to make a facility or system fit an operation.
return on net assets:
... referred to as RONA,
a performance measure for tracking and achieving cost control;
an examination of net
earnings in relationship
to the net
assets that
are invested to generate them.
reverse investment:
... capital invested by an enterprise
(Direct
Investment Enterprise/DIE) in which a foreign
entity has, at least, partial ownershipmore
definition details on page 2 of IMF
Committee on Balance of Payments and OECD Workshop on International
Investment Statistics (IMF stands for International
Monetary Fund). The source of the definition of
direct investment enterprise is the OECD
Glossary of Statistical Terms
(OEDC stands for Organization
of Economic Cooperation and Development). There
is a resource paper related to reverse investment online
titled OEDC
Benchmark Definition of Foreign Direct Investment.
Reverse investment reporting
reflects the internationalization of
economic
development activities. Reverse investment announcements
are made by economic
developers to report
results
from
working with projects of
foreign owned enterprises.
RFP:
... Request For Proposalthe
document used to ask resource
or service providers to express an interest
in doing something by presenting information about their
ideas, approaches, plans, credentials, qualifications,
and charges. When project profiles
and selection criteria are provided along with requests
for location packages area or local development representatives should
consider that they are essentially receiving requests for
proposals.
RFQ:
... Request For Quoteessentially
the same as an RFP,
except it's focused on costs; i.e., it's a document that

contains a project
profile with specifications which
invites resource
or service providers to respond with projections
(estimates or firm quotes) of their fees and charges for
taking it on.

opening.
right-to-work:
... a legal protection of the right of
workers to choose; a restriction placed on organized labor
to keep a group that has chosen to unionize
from selfishly controlling a workplace; a law forbidding closed shops
(union
shops) and, thus, giving equal rights and protection
to all workers. Areas covered by right-to-work laws are
considered pro-business and
have an advantage in the eyes of site
selectors over
those that protect organized labor at the expense of people
who want
to work but
do not want to be compelled to join a union.
risk analysis:
... investigation of factors that may jeopardize
the success of an enterprise or
an enterprise
development project, or an entrepreneurial or
other type of effort, plan, goal, objective or project.

rural development:
... enterprise
and economic development uniquely applied
in an area with a widely scattered population or in
a location that can be classified as non-urban; area
development outside of a city and beyound its urban
sprawl. To be rural suggests that one can see agrarian
or pastoral characteristics and that the area is
a sparsely populated but there may be towns and villages
and even whistle stops or cross roads that have the
potential for economic development. Rural has various
definitions that depend suveys of population density.
The arguement can be made that a rural area, which
is not
barren, is more likely to have qualities for sustaining
its population and to be self-contained as opposed to a
urban area which is distinctly dependent upon importation
and some level of commerce(source).
The quote suggests that rural development at its best in
many places capitalizes on qualities that exists, avoiding
the notion that grass is greener where the urban sprawl
grows. Take a look at the definition of brownfield with
the understanding of the possibility that an area that
was once rural, then industrial, then abandoned, may at
some point in time become rural again. To return brownfields
to a agrarian
or pastoral environment, assuming that there use is
not problematic, may not be all bad.
