Leading Economic Development

This book is a primer for how those new to the field, or who want to become more successful, can lead economic development in their communities and regions. Basing his work on the best minds and current scholarship in economic development, Dr. Dan Johnson presents concepts in an approachable way that can be helpful to the novice and the experienced professional. This book draws on his experience not only as president of The University of Toledo where he made economic development part of the mission of the academy, but also the work he has done throughout his career in Illinois, Virginia, Texas, Alaska, and Dubai.
