Webinar: Driving State and Regional Economic Growth

with Sustained Growth Companies

Sustained growth companies are the most important job creators in our economies. Sustained growers expand more frequently and tend to live longer than other businesses, providing employment opportunities to a wider range of workers, increasing household income growth rates, moving into larger facilities in their hometowns, and giving back more to their communities.

<!– <!–

Their success can be attributed to one essential factor: their executive leaders consistently make better growth decisions than those at other businesses. New research by Dr. Gary Kunkle reveals that just 50 management decisions set sustained growers apart from others. This webinar is your opportunity to learn more about Dr. Kunkle’s research, examine the public policy implications of his findings, and learn practical and low-cost ways economic development organizations can help increase the number of sustained growth companies in their regions.
