Enterprise development resources in this section of the library are provided to support the mission of The Network. One way to describe enterprise development is to say that is everything organized around maintaining and/or growing a specific business or industrial operation so that the specific service or product is acceptable within an economy. Putting it that way indicates that enterprise development is related to economic development. As long as a business enterprise maintains its vitality or grows in the place where it is located it contributes to the community's economy. An enterprise doesn't have to be a for profit operation to contribute to local economic development. Enterprise development is a process as is economic development. They are enterprise and economic development.
