the discussions in such a way that students and practitioners can evaluate
whether an entrepreneurship strategy is suitable in their community.
Many people have contributed to this project. Dr. Joseph Rallo, Provost
and Academic Vice-President, Western Illinois University, provided seed
money for the project and supported the endeavor throughout. Karen
Poncin, Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs (IIRA), handled the editing and
manuscript preparation tasks. Karin Spader, Lori A. Sutton, and other mem-
bers of the IIRA assisted with the process in many ways. Without the help
of these individuals and others, this project could not have been completed.
