THE THREE C’S FOR SUCCESS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
–Coordination• Helping each other but not changing the basic way of doing
business
–Cooperation• Common effort and association for the purpose of common
benefit
–Collaboration• To work jointly with others on a common goal that is beyond
what any one person or group can accomplish alone
