Keywords: enhancement of land; productive
capacity; labor; technology
Note: Use of the word land as solid ground is too limiting. It should be
pointed out that economic
development is as much about enhancing the factors of productive
capacity of the water and space above the surface of the earth as it is
for land.

economic development community:
... practitioners and allies in
an association or network dedicated
to the
process; altogether those whose endeavors include aims to accomplish
objectives that fit within one or more of the definitions published in
About
Economic Development: a group among the resource
and service providers engaged in the .network mission or
one that is similar; a group among those listed in a contact
directory as being
area
or local development representatives; the comradeship of those
within an economic
development network.
economic development and site selection directory:
... a publication of contact
data useful for getting in touch with
those who are involved in economic
development to the extent that they are
specifically recognizable as resource
and service providers for enterprise
development, especially when there is
a need for assistance with location
work; an economic
development directory that can be used
to build a site
selection network; the Global
Registry of Contacts used by participants in
the mission
of The Network who are looking for resource
suppliers, such as those who have economic
development data to offer about places
of interest or, likewise, to find service
providers engaged in site
selection and in position to assist with specific projects.
enterprise architecture:
... the structure
of a enterprise or a set of plans and documents that illustrate
what it is.
The MIT Center for Information
Systems Research states that it
is ... the organizing logic for business
processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration
and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating
model. Www.govtech.com (Government
Technology magazine) offers an article
titled: Enterprise
Architecture Demystified. An enterprise
developer is more closely identified with
the entrepreneur or
business owner as decision
maker than with the practitioner engaged
in enterprise
architecture.
enterprise development directory
... a published list of members of an economic development
network that includes location data suppliers and other resource and
service providers positioned to assist business decision makers leading
enterprise development and site selection efforts; any reference containing
a list of contacts who can be used to move projects forward when called
upon by entrepreneurs, small
business owners, corporation expand other
leaders of fast-growing
companies.
infrastructure for growth
... a foundation, such as land, in combination with
basic facilities, services, and installations needed for a community to
function and pursue opportunities for economic
development. A location's infrastructure
can be viewed as having certain essentials, such as real
estate, demographics, transportation system, communications facilitation,
water, power and acceptable governance. From
the standpoint of enterprise
and economic development, including site
selection, an infrastructure
is reflected in the various location
data elements (categories
of information, for example, found in a typical community
profile). A
comprehensive reflection
of the various elements of location infrastructure can be seen in the
so called Site
Selection Data Standards published at the International
Economic Development Council (IEDC) website. The resource paper, Tourism
As Economic Development: A Brief Guide for Communities and Enterprise
Developers, starts out with a simple description of the development
of an infrastructure for growth. Also see the
fundamentals of economic development outlined in the Economic
Development Network website.

production improvement:
... Activities to
produce goods
and services result
in the development of inefficiencies and waste. Enterprises operating
in competitive environments are forced to address inefficiency
and waste in order to cut costs and raise the
potential for profits. Also, they are smart to address production quality
in combination with an equitable treatment of workers willing
to join in on a pursuit of excellence. These
efforts all add up to production improvement with an aim to maintain
and expand a customer base. In addition, pollution prevention
and waste minimization in the day-to-day operations of an enterprise
ought
to be included. Production improvement is an activity
of the the moment as well as for the future. Dedicated production
improvement teams are commonplace where enterprises are above
fly-by-night or greed-driven. Sometimes a production
improvement team is made up of employees (in house). Sometimes
outside consultants and/or trainers are called in for production
improvement.
An example of production improvement assistance available from
outside an enterprise is the Tennessee group known as Pinnacle
Partners Inc (PPI),
long-term supporters of The
Network.

development economics:
... the organization
of strategies for raising living standards in less economically developed
countries and regions, as opposed to area
development which
is distinctly different. Development economics places emphasis
on improving institutional
framework
and infrastructure, which is to say it is much like an expansion
of the definition of community
development for purposes of acting within
a lager geographic area. Development
economics also strategies way to increase agricultural productivity,
reduce rates of
population growth, and capitalize on opportunities to
match labor-intensive
enterprises with those labor
forces in need but having limited capability for increasing
their technical
skills.

Lewis' Contribution to Development Thinking and Policy. Who

A Review of W. Arthur Lewis and the Birth of Development Economics by
Ravi Kanbur of Cornell University College of
Arts and Sciences, Ithaca, NY.
Economic Development is
fraught with politics (see comments
about politics in Appendix
C of the Enterprise and Economic Development Glossary). The same
is true for the strategies of development economics as
applied in countries and regions throughout the world. The
Politics of Development Economics is an award winning resource
paper written by John Parker and published by the The
Independent Institute of Oakland, CA. Works cited by Parker at the
end of his paper open the door to additional resources.
