These are:<br /> • Product<br /> • Marketing<br /> • Financial Management<br /> If a company is able to achieve balance and perform in these three areas, they will be more readily able to reach their goals. I will probably spend some additional time writing on this subject in the future. As simple as it seems, with the barrage of information, tools and consultants available addressing every issue that arises for businesses of any size, this foundation seems to get lost.</p> Mon, 21 Feb 2005 14:28:03 -0800 http://corvallisedp.com/drupal/node/15 <p>"Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world.<br /> It is, indeed, the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead</p> <p>The EDP is a public-private partnership, providing economic development services and support to Benton County and the cities of Corvallis, Philomath, Monroe and Adair Village.
