Abstract:
Annotation Using two case studies from Canada, Diochon (business administration, St. Francis Xavier U., Canada) investigates the role of entrepreneurs in community development programs. She focuses on the efforts of Canada's Community Economic Development program to promote endogenous growth in the business sector and whether it is appropriate for application to rural disadvantaged communities.
