Why is it important?
This publication is important because it illustrates knowledge exchange processes in action and demonstrates why engaged scholarship models provide added value to rural businesses that contract orientated research carried out by consultants cannot. The study explores networked connections between academia, small business and the local Council. It is also important because the publication also acts as an assessment of the scheme.
