Matching Public Measures and Private Sector Objectives: The Experience of Cardiff, Wales

Richard Gaunt

Review of Policy Research, 1991, vol. 10, issue 2‐3, 138-148

Abstract: This article considers the extent to which Local Economic Development Measures (LEDMs) match the needs and objectives of private sector organizations and individuals seeking to develop businesses. This study, based on case material in Cardiff, Wales, uses a 5‐point model to describe and analyze general business patterns. The study finds that LEDMs only partly identify the needs and objectives of businesses, and even when potentially useful, poor quality service delivery tended to undermine the effectiveness of these measures.
