Abstract: | Economic and political problems of Northern Ireland are discussed. The Department of Economic Development promotes inward investment, encourages firms to expand, and stimulates new firms. Future strategic directives are suggested based on a literature review and interviews with a wide range of individuals and organizations. Strengths and weaknesses of the province are identified. Barriers to the growth of an entrepreneurial society are analyzed. Social and cultural factors affecting economic development are outlined. Effects of job creation efforts are examined. The separation of job- and work-promoting activities is suggested. |
