Abstract
S. Davis Phillips, a successful High Point, N.C., businessman and Commerce Secretary under Governor Jim Martin, discusses business in North Carolina and his own success as a businessman. Phillips helped build High Point into the global furniture capital it is today, and when he assumed his position at the Department of Commerce, he focused on luring businesses to North Carolina, a state where infrastructure and the natural environment provided their own incentives. Phillips is proud of his tenure in the government and of his efforts to push forward Martin's regionalist strategy of including every area of the state in North Carolina’s economic development.
