Rezensionen

"Aftercare is arguably more important than the initial landing of FDI. This book demonstrates that with on-going business aftercare, the greater the client's chances are of expansion and economic prosperity."

Craig O'Kane MBE, Former Director of FDI and Capital - The UK Department for International Trade (Australia and New Zealand)

"Read the book and get out to visit your foreign investors; you will discover the difference you can make to your host economy when looking after them."

Anne Have Kjærholm, Head of Tech - Expert in Business Retention & Expansion - Copenhagen Capacity, Denmark

"As an Economic Development Practitioner, I could not put this book down. This is exactly what practitioners need as a guide in doing effective Aftercare. This book provides an easy-to-understand roadmap with examples that every economic development professional should reference as they work in FDI."

Erik Collins, Director of Economic Development in Montgomery County, Dayton, Ohio, USA
