The purpose of this workshop is to describe one Appalachian community's approach to developing a rural economic development strategy for creating jobs through new and expanding businesses in the context of the current recessionary times.
The workshop demonstrates methods for executing a community “strategic plan” and visioning process that lead to the identification of thirteen strategies for strengthening local rural businesses and three final community actions (alternative energy initiatives, community food system assessment, and crowdfunding) that can be particularly relevant for replication of Appalachian grassroots actions.
This workshop was for the 36th Appalachian Studies Conference on March 22nd, 2013 in Boone, NC at Appalachian State University.
2013 Tamkeen Annual Report - Fostering Entrepreneurship in BahrainDaniel Isenberg
This document discusses fostering entrepreneurship in Bahrain. It summarizes that only a small percentage (1-5%) of firms account for most of the economic and social impact through high growth over 15-30 years, and these are often from basic industries rather than technology sectors. It advises Bahrain to prioritize solving social problems and allocating resources to do so, but to let the market decide which firms and sectors succeed rather than trying to pick winners. The key recommendation is to make the entrepreneurship system simple, transparent and fair for all.
Seeding Entrepreneurship: How to Build a Venture Finance EcosystemDaniel Isenberg
The document outlines 7 practical principles for public leaders seeking to foster entrepreneurship and venture finance ecosystems:
1) The objective should be to develop the ecosystem, not directly provide capital.
2) Stimulate financing through off-balance sheet methods like grants, but avoid being on ventures' balance sheets.
3) Include sunset clauses for financial support programs to focus on results and sustainability.
4) Use temporary incentives to discover if private players find entrepreneurial capital profitable.
5) Subject programs to market tests like requiring private matching funds.
6) Regulate to allow for easy business failure so resources can circulate productively.
7) Build "venture chimneys" that allow for risk-taking
This paper analyzes the spatial pattern of rural growth centers in Sagar district, Madhya Pradesh, India using nearest neighbor analysis. Rural growth centers provide goods, services, and facilities for surrounding populations. The study identifies 38 rural growth centers based on a composite score of socio-economic amenities. Nearest neighbor analysis finds the Rn value is 0.151, indicating rural growth centers are clustered. There is disparity in distribution of rural growth centers across blocks, so new centers are needed in underserved areas to decentralize services and slow rural-to-urban migration.

Rural Community Economic Development through Service Learning: A Pedagogical ...Berea College
Berea College, Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program displays a five-year pedagogical approach with a focus on service learning for Liberal Arts undergraduates. This 8 week summer institute combines two courses or competency-based, credit bearing educational experience in which students: (a) participate in mutually identified service activities that benefit the Appalachian community, and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of Appalachian Studies, a broader appreciation of the entrepreneurial leadership discipline, and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibility. This case study integrates the growing popularity of adventure tourism, ecotourism, and heritage tourism and contains the potential for building an alternative economy, one that promises greater monetary returns for local residents, the preservation of rural traditions, and the protection of sensitive natural resources. Three travelers and tourist "personas" into Eastern Kentucky are demonstrated. This presentation was created for the 2013 Gulf South Conference in Louisville, KY on February 27th-March 3rd, 2013.

Ashoka U Exchange 2013 Innovation Presentation Business Model YouBerea College
Building on the success of the nine elements in Business Model Generation (BMG), developed by Alex Osterwalder, Tim Clark has designed the Business Model You (BMY), a one-page blueprint for a social entrepreneurship career. We have revised the model and have introduced it to early-stage undergraduates within a “changemaker course” and have produced 25 plans for the 3 ½ years students spend in academic and co-curricular activities leading to launching a social entrepreneur career upon graduation.
The BMY works for describing personal business models just as it does for describing the BMG with two differences. The Key Resource is the student and exercises bring out the passion, the interests, skills and abilities, personality, and the assets students own or control. The BMY takes into account unquantifiable “soft” costs (such as stress) and “soft” Benefits (such as satisfaction). The BMG considers only monetary Costs and Benefits. The BMY paints a clear, accurate picture of the pre-professional activities that lay the foundation for later addressing social entrepreneur career elements such as satisfaction, stress, recognition, time demands, social contribution.

Eastern Kentucky Comprehensive Adventure Tourism Plan Berea College
In an effort to assist in the development of the local civic capacity to create economic activity, the Kentucky Department of Tourism, through a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) commissioned the development of a Comprehensive Adventure Tourism Plan for Eastern Kentucky.
The purpose of the plan is to evaluate distressed counties in eastern Kentucky in order to develop the local civic capacity to plan for and maximize the regional impact of the emerging adventure tourism industry.
The outcome of the plan is to identify and document the existing resources, assets, and opportunities available for adventure activities and establish a strategy for developing a more substantial adventure tourism market. In addition, the planning process will help to develop organizational resources to support ongoing coordination and implementation to expand on the opportunities. Finally, this plan will quantify the physical, economic, financial and liability issues to support effective decision-making for future investment and priority action plan development.

Creating Tourism Value via Crowdsourcing: A First AttemptBerea College
Creating self-reliant rural communities in a global age (Shuman, 2000) and developing heritage and adventure tourism (Eller, 2009) are viewed as alternatives to classic tourism development in Appalachia. For five summers Berea College’s Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program has collaborated with leadership within the Kentucky River Area Development District (KRADD) region building upon cell and smart phone prototypes tours, researching Kentucky travel and visitor’s patterns and exploring new social media strategies and tactics to market small businesses and nonprofit organizations throughout rural Appalachia in eight communities experiencing double-digit unemployment as of September 2012. This project mapped the community asset development within the KRADD through “personas” developed by EPG students for selected audiences based upon “How to spend 36 hours in an Eastern Kentucky County” modeled after the New York Times article for Asheville NC (2010), “Hike Pine Mountain, Channel Daniel Boone” NYT article (2008) and an article praising the lesser-known community of Whitesburg, Kentucky poised to become the South’s Next Great Mountain Town (July, 2011). This panel demonstrates the value created by customer reviews on websites like TripAdvisor, Yelp.com, and Facebook that can have a big impact on local independently-owned businesses, local attractions and civic destinations. Over 1,200 “crowd-sourced” reviews and 250,000 readers’ digital impressions captured the history, culture, arts and crafts, local foods, the greater outdoors KRADD assets. These crowd-sourced reviews can attract tourists, travelers and casual visitors to the western edge of Appalachian Mountains. This presentation was for the 36th Annual Appalachian Studies Conference on March 22nd-24th, 2013 in Boone, NC at Appalachian State University.

Here is a SWOT analysis for the Protect & Progress campaign:
Strengths:
- Strong support from Chamber members who favor incentive programs
- Resources from the Chamber to implement campaign tactics
Weaknesses:
- Lack of awareness about incentive programs among target stakeholders
- Budget crisis threatens future of programs
Opportunities:
- Educate stakeholders on benefits of programs to increase support
- Leverage business owners' influence on state legislators
Threats:
- Surrounding cities compete for businesses and jobs
- Out-of-state cities ranked higher for economic growth
- Uncertainty around state budget and future of programs
This SWOT analysis identifies the campaign's main internal strengths and
Rural America faces significant economic challenges, with many counties experiencing high poverty, low education levels, and economic distress. Distressed rural counties, as defined by an index that considers unemployment, income, and poverty rates, are concentrated in the Delta, Cotton Belt, Appalachia, Texas border, and Native American reservations. While overall rural high school graduation rates are comparable to urban areas, adult rural populations often have lower levels of education due to youth out-migration. These economic realities highlight the need for rural communities to develop strategies to improve economic conditions and retain local talent, such as through increased entrepreneurial activity.

Ball State University’s Building Better Communities’ (BBC’s) Primacy of Place™Initiative is premised on the idea that a great state is comprised of great communities, and those communities can improve themselves in partnership with Ball State University. BBC has provided comprehensive services that take place in or for the benefit of community partners throughout the state of Indiana. These partnerships serve to engage university faculty, staff, and students in addressing a wide range of community challenges.
Primacy of Place™ represents a community’s strategic choice to dedicate its resources toward placemaking and the improvement of life experiences for residents, businesses, and visitors. Today, the most successful communities are those that recognize the critical importance of human capital in order to compete effectively for economic development. Talent is the single most important element in local economic development, and we believe quality of place is the primary factor in a community’s ability to attract and retain talent.
The ongoing activities of the Primacy of Place™Initiative include a community awards program to recognize successful community quality of place initiatives, a conference to bring together business, university, and civic leaders to discuss how quality of place contributes to economic prosperity, knowledge groups to identify intellectual and creative resources related to Primacy of Place‰ã¢, and best practice databases to make resources readily available.

Poverty in India is widespread, and a variety of methods have been proposed to measure it. The official measure of Indian government, before 2005, was based on food security and it was defined from per capita expenditure for a person to consume enough calories and be able to pay for associated essentials to survive. Since 2005, Indian government adopted the Tendulkar methodology which moved away from calorie anchor to a basket of goods and used rural, urban and regional minimum expenditure per capita necessary to survive.
The World Bank has similarly revised its definition and benchmarks to measure poverty since 1990, with $2.25 per day income on purchasing power parity basis as the definition in use from 2005 to 2013. Some semi-economic and non-economic indices have also been proposed to measure poverty in India; for example, the Multi-dimensional Poverty Index placed 33% weight on number of years spent in school and education and 6.25% weight on financial condition of a person, in order to determine if that person is poor.

Immigrant Capital And Entrepreneurial OpportunitiesSusan Kennedy
The document discusses a study on immigrant capital and entrepreneurial opportunities. It aims to define and operationalize the concept of immigrant capital, which differentiates immigrant entrepreneurs from native entrepreneurs in opportunity recognition.
The study develops a model of immigrant capital through analyzing case studies of immigrant entrepreneurs and synthesizing findings with literature. It finds that immigrant entrepreneurs have access to multiple social and cultural networks due to their immigrant status, allowing them to connect information from different networks to recognize new opportunities. This bridging of networks is what comprises immigrant capital and enhances immigrants' opportunity recognition abilities over natives.
The paper contributes a theoretical model of immigrant capital and propositions to articulate the factors leading to the conceptualization of how immigrant capital allows immigrants to recognize

Tactics include posting job opportunities on LinkedIn, sharing success stories of employed clients on Facebook, and analyzing which types of social media posts receive the most engagement to create more similar content. Objectives and tactics are described in detail with implementation steps provided. Monitoring and adjustments will help ensure goals are achieved.
The role of the tourism sector in expanding economysaranyapugazh
Tourism has significant potential to expand economic opportunity in developing countries. However, the tourism sector lags behind other industries in adopting corporate social responsibility practices to maximize these opportunities. While some tourism companies have innovative programs, overall the sector has focused more on environmental and philanthropic efforts than on business strategies to strengthen local economic impacts. There is an opportunity for tourism companies, particularly large hotels and resorts, to lead the sector by implementing best practices that enhance economic opportunity in commercially viable ways, such as developing local suppliers and improving workforce skills.
The document discusses strategies for building opportunity communities by connecting people to opportunities and remedying opportunity isolation. It argues that a crisis presents an opportunity for transformative change, including rethinking narratives around opportunity and redesigning institutions to ensure all people can participate. Specifically, it proposes adopting opportunity-based approaches to housing and development to connect marginalized groups with jobs, schools, services and civic life in high-opportunity areas through both in-place improvements and mobility programs.

The report finds that poverty is widespread in the region, disproportionately affecting certain populations. It uses mapping and economic modeling to show disparities in access to opportunities between communities. The report recommends a package of economic interventions that could move almost 150,000 households out of poverty, including higher minimum wages, better education, and more affordable housing. It prioritizes these as "Headline Strategies" for Rise Together Bay Area to focus on as part of their ongoing action plan to promote shared prosperity in the region.

In 2019, one trail, the Pinnacle at Indian Fork Mountain was selected by Outside Magazine at the No.1 hiking venue in Kentucky. In 2018 with the official designation of two U.S. Bicycle Routes (USBR 21 and 23), Kentucky achieved now ranks 5th overall (856 miles) in a list of states with the most number in the national networks. IN 2015 the CIty of Berea became the 11th certified Kentucky Trail Town. These achievements were designed and executed by the EPG students as a result of the trail-based community economic development projects.
Assessing kentucky trail town impacts the economic outcomes of the no.1 hikin...Berea College
The study aimed to estimate the economic impact of trail users on the Pinnacle Trails in Berea, Kentucky. Data was collected through trail counts, surveys, and infrared sensors from 2017-2019. An estimated 48,895 annual users were calculated, with 85% being visitors who brought in an economic impact of $639,000. Additionally, there was a missed opportunity of $200,669 from in-state users within 50 miles who did not spend money. The trails are a natural asset that promote local economic development as the Kentucky Trail Town program grows.

Purpose - The purpose of this report was threefold: 1) to explore the development of a network arts, crafts, cultural heritage and natural resources trail systems that lead to Appalachian local economic development, 2) to collect user trail type, frequency, and duration on separate multi-state, multi-county, multi-use path in a rural Appalachian community, 2) to estimate the health impact of the trails. Six case study networks trail systems and outcomes are provided. This report was for the 40th Annual Appalachian Studies Conference that took place March 9th-12th, 2017 in Blacksburg, VA.
Multi state, multi-use trail system as tools for community economic development Berea College
Domestically and internationally multi-use trail development has experienced rapid growth as a driver of community economic transition as a stage in the evolution of resource-dependent settlements. Trails are an economic catalyst as tourist attractions and contribute to the quality of life for rural communities and local residents. In recent years trails surround a variety of themes such as culinary arts, wildlife observation, arts, crafts, and heritage. In Central Appalachia recreational trails refers to paths for specific uses such as hiking, cycling, horseback, and water travel.
This presentation first, summarizes the Appalachian research literature on the factors that contribute to the success of multi-state, multi-use trails as rural tourism attractions from a community development perspective. The presentation highlight features that support what a successful trail might be in Central Appalachia including new businesses, expanded businesses, job growth, and creation. The City of Berea Trail Town, certified in 2015 is offered as a community development destination. Second, applying ethnographic face-to-face observations and engagement (user-centered empathy design principles), personas were proposed to better understand customers user segments uncovered on TransAmerican cross-county USBR 76 from Yorktown VA to Astoria OR over six years. Third, using the Underground Railroad Route as a prototype, the presentation describes how the Berea College EPG Program students created a north-south USBR 21 from Atlanta GA, through Tennessee, Kentucky and onto Ohio. Finally, in partnership with the National Park Service and the Friends of the Boone Trace, Daniel Boone Trace Trail of 1775 from Cumberland Gap to Maysville Kentucky was designed to traverse through 5 counties and 11 municipal governments. After a one-year community development planning process in five counties and eleven municipal governments, USBR 21 is in the final stage of review with the Kentucky DOT and AHHSHTO. This presentation was for the Community Development Society's Annual International Conference on July 22nd-25th, 2018 in Detroit, Michigan.
Increasing entrepreneurial competence via team based learning: Insights from...Berea College
The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program at Berea College blends an understanding of how modest economic projects encourage entrepreneurial development in particular areas by thinking in terms of how to tailor resources to meet particular problems and what constitutes acceptable solutions. For ten years EPG has deployed TBL as an innovative teaching strategy applying entrepreneurial concepts to develop undergraduate entrepreneurial mindsets, using design thinking, evaluating and acting upon opportunities, applying the business model canvas and creating forecasted revenue streams aimed to enhance student engagement and improve teamwork. This case study examines the use of TBL in an undergraduate intense summer session for interdisciplinary students at a liberal arts college. The results indicate that TBL has a positive influence on student engagement and an appreciation and understanding of entrepreneurial competence. TBL offers opportunities to alter mindsets, assist learning, and practice entrepreneurial behaviors. The study concludes that TBL is an effective teaching process enabling educators to offer students enhanced and stimulating learning experiences. The case study contributes to the entrepreneurial and management education literature by assessing the first-time TBL experience of students. Key issues addressed are student mindsets, student engagement, opportunities for learning, and the benefits of teamwork in preparing students in community-based learning. This presentation was for the Academy of Business Research from October 24-26, 2018 in San Antonio, Texas.
An examination of collegiate internships in entrepreneurial leadership settin...Berea College
Collegiate internships play a significant role in the professional development of undergraduate students. They provide students the opportunity to experience real-world expectations embedded within actual vocational environments under the support of their collegiate faculty. Although there are a number of common reasons why internships are utilized in each academic area, the requirements for the experiences are substantially different across disciplines and level of coursework. The environments for business and social entrepreneurship, service-oriented and servant leadership and civic engagement are distinct. The purpose of this paper is to explore some of the commonalities and differences that exist for internships across collegiate academic disciplines at the undergraduate level, introduce the concept of iterative reflective practices and identify their salience for programs from an interdisciplinary perspective. The focus on this presentation are the liberal arts including humanities, social science, and applied liberal arts disciplines leading to entrepreneurship internships in profit and not-for-profit sectors. This presentation was for the Academy for Business Research during the Spring 2018 Conference in New Orleans, LA.

Creating Entrepreneurial Identities in Social Entrepreneurship EducationBerea College
Training social entrepreneurs and innovators are becoming increasingly prevalent throughout the world highlighting the need for effective pedagogical strategies with robust outcomes. Research suggests that understanding what it takes to become a social entrepreneur is beyond just acquiring knowledge and skills to act entrepreneurially. This paper summarizes social identity and self-efficacy theories. A framework sets forth categories and applies data from student narratives as they develop these qualities. Results from an alumni self-study provide social identity and self-efficacy evidence. These results support our supposition that in the context of new social innovation, students’ curricular and co-curricular experiences lead to the development of identities, self-efficacy and increase their ability to affect positive social change. This research and presentation were created for the Society of Business Research Nashville, TN Conference on October 23rd-25th, 2014.

40. Compared to the USA
• 23% of the workforce is in manufacturing—more
than 2 X the national average.
• Berea also has much greater numbers of people
in education, health, and social services.
• 1/3 less than the national average of its
workforce in the arts, entertainment, and
tourism.
• Finance sector is about 1/2 the national average,
which suggests how little capital is available for
business growth.

41. Shuman argues in Going Local (1998);
The Small-Mart Revolution (2006)
“ economic development performs best when it
is focused, laser-like, on businesses “ that are
locally owned and import substituting. Local
ownership means that working control of a
company is held within a small geographic area.
Import-substituting means that the company is
focused first and foremost (though not
exclusively) on cost effective production for local
markets.

42. Leakage analysis
Identifies all those sectors in the economy where a
community is unnecessarily importing outside goods and
services. Every unnecessary import represents a loss of
dollars and a loss of the "multiplier" impacts those dollars
locally.
Represents a loss of other documented benefits that local
businesses bring: knowledge, skills, tax payments,
charitable giving, revitalized downtowns, tourists,
stronger civil society, and more political participation.
