David Noer, the Frank S. Holt Jr. Professor of Business Leadership at Elon, had a column published June 1, 2008, in the (Greensboro, N.C.) News & Record. The column, "Rate Greensboro's Future," dealt with rating the preferred future vision of Greensboro and the region on three scales.

Each of these three dimensions had an accompanying seven-point rating scale. To read the full column, click on the link below.
