Not for the Meek: Rural Manufacturers Competing in a World Market

As you read this case study, you will discover that Winrock's Arkansas Rural Enterprise Center is achieving its broadest goals - retaining and creating jobs in rural communities of Arkansas. Our success stems from promoting relationships that transcend community boundaries, linking manufacturers in timber-dependent counties to the world; manufacturer to buyer, rural to urban, family-owned firms to corporate giants. It is through these linkages that technology is transferred from one to the other, markets are developed, sales consummated, and timber-dependent economies strengthened and diversified.
