General practical examination directed at the problem of raising local economic competitiveness with useful case studies. Since the times of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, it must have apparent that institutions matter – a lot. The challenge has been, how to successfully create and cultivate the institutions?

Then, this question comes tantalizingly similar to, how to successfully create and cultivate an enterprise; i.e., the recipe to succeed at entrepreneurship? Now, if this question has been answered, then no business would ever fail. This course shows the great strides taken at solving poverty, and still more need to be done.

A course to beter understand the importance of multiple collaboration between the actors in any human group. Sharing knowledge and experience with no particular interest. LED help Improve income, quality of life, giving employment and creating economies for populations that before did not have opportunities.

It taught me about the need of local economic development and how it can be done with efficiency. It helped me to realize why my locality needs to be involved in economic activities to boost up national economy and we need to start small and gradually look to the bigger picture.

The material of the course is excellent. However, the course lacks an active discussion forum. Input, feedback, and discussion are the core of a such course subject.

Thank you for this opportunity!

Although dated and dense, it contains a great deal of scopes and tools to effectively put LED strategies to work. However, it requires time, attention and willingness to get the best from it.
