Economics 309, Spring 2003: SWOT Analysis of Prosperity
Note: Students in Economics 309 (The Economics of a Sustainable Society) were given the assignment to write a four-page
SWOT (Strenths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats) analysis of the
Prosperity economic development "strategy". Prosperity - The North Coast Strategy has been adopted
by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors as Humboldt County's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). While some of these students
are Economics or Business Administration majors, for many this was their first exposure to economic development. Many students
conducted interviews of affiliated Prosperity Network member organization staff, and researched other local or regional
economic development plans. You can read their SWOT analyses below.
