ItemUnderstanding E-Commerce in Rural Georgia(Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, 2009-08-08) King, Dana ; Galewski, Nancy ; Green, Randy ; Lytle, Andrea ; Wilkins, JoyFrom September 2008 through February 2009, the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2) conducted a series of focus groups and a survey of businesses regarding how they use, or would like to use, e-commerce activities to expand their business operations. The survey and focus group responses resulted in these primary findings: businesses have limited financial resources to pursue their desired e-commerce activities; to enhance their e-commerce knowledge, businesses have a strong interest in a classroom-based learning experience and a comprehensive Web site learning resource; many businesses have questions about how to determine which electronic tools professional service providers and other resources are the best to use to expand their e-commerce activities; and, broadband access remains a challenge for rural Georgia’s ability to maximize businesses’ full ecommerce and thus, their full market potential. These findings confirm that businesses throughout Georgia would benefit from more learning opportunities, and the continued pursuit of funding opportunities to enhance broadband connectivity throughout the state.

Item2009 Policy Priorities of Women Business Owners(Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, 2009-07) King, DanaOn April 29, 2009, a town hall meeting of women business owners was held in Atlanta at the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Student Center. Hosted and facilitated by the National Women’s Business Council (NWBC), this meeting was the seventh in a series of meetings that began in March 2007. NWBC designed these conversations to generate grassroots‐level recommendations from women business owners for the ultimate consideration of the President, Congress, and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). This report intertwines the findings of the discussions the NWBC facilitated from March 2007 through April 2009. There is a particular emphasis on the most recent meeting held in Atlanta, to reflect that meeting’s intent to determine how women business owners’ needs may have changed amid the current national economic downturn. This report divides the priority policy‐related needs and opportunities identified by women business owners into five key areas: Access to Capital, Affordable Health Care, Education and Workforce Development, Procurement, and Taxes. The report concludes with a section focused on needs specific to microenterprises (defined as businesses with five or fewer employees, including the owner).

ItemBenchmarking Excellence Among Accredited Economic Development Organizations(Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute, 2009-05) Wilkins, Joy ; King, Dana ; Garvey, Blair ; Lytle, AndreaIn search of competitive excellence, economic developers often ask for guidance and assistance on key enterprise management and operational issues relating to running a quality economic development program. They are interested in operating as effectively as possible, in making the highest possible impact, and in having a knowledge system in place for tracking their performance to enable continual improvement. To assist in this arena, the Calibration ProgramTM was designed by the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2) to help local economic development organizations (EDOs) achieve higher performance in their operations. The program draws on quality management standards from the International Economic Development Council’s (IEDC) Accredited Economic Development Organization (AEDO) program, the International Organization of Standardization (ISO), the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Program - and, the expertise of professionals associated with EI2. To provide benchmarks for EDOs via this program, IEDC and EI2 launched a joint initiative in 2006 to benchmark excellence in quality management among AEDOs located across the United States. These organizations were selected for participation in the survey because they have been recognized by IEDC for their enterprise excellence and, therefore, represent the “best of the best” in economic development. This initiative has informed other EDOs on what it takes to be a high-performance organization in economic development, as well as identified opportunities for continual improvement. It has provided a set of often-cited benchmarks. In 2009, IEDC and EI2 launched a new initiative to create up-to-date benchmarks by surveying current AEDOs. Stakeholders from each organization were asked to assess their organization on the basis of key indicators related to quality management, according to 10 areas. These 10 quality management areas include seven Baldrige award criteria and three additional criteria specifically relevant to economic development organizations. Also included were quality management indicators relating to innovation management and sustainability.
