Academics and economic developers: the challenge of cross-cultural understanding
Article Abstract:
The relationship between economic development practitioners and higher education authorities is complementary in character but results of a survey show that these two groups differ in motivation and methods and do not communicate well with each other. The consequent lack of understanding adversely affects the effectiveness of such a relationship. Academic officials, for instance, fail to report their own contributions to the economic development field because they do not realize their importance.

The state's role in economic development education: some existing models
Article Abstract:
Economic development training programs in the states of Washington, Ohio and Nebraska are worthy of emulation by other states in search of a means to be competitive in the global economy. Other states have less comprehensive programs that need greater coordination and less duplication of functions. They should also come up with a means to measure and evaluate results against goals.
