Policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in the Community Economic Development approach as a way of achieving this aim. In Entrepreneurship and Community Economic Development Monica Diochon examines the development processes adopted by two rural, single-industry Canadian communities confronting the collapse of their economic bases. She argues that a community's effectiveness in influencing economic development depends on the extent to which entrepreneurship is encouraged and shows that, while a number of factors influence enterprise, economic activities that are community-determined and provide varied opportunities to participate in achieving short-term self-sustaining strategic outcomes are particularly important.Community developmentEntrepreneurshipCommunity developmentCanadaCase studiesDéveloppement communautaireEntrepreneuriatDéveloppement communautaireCanadaCas, Études deCommunity development.Entrepreneurship.Community developmentDéveloppement communautaire.Entrepreneuriat.Développement communautaire338.9Diochon Monica C1523229MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783402703321Entrepreneurship and community economic development3763371UNINA
