Clark University The proposed research will focus upon the economic importance of women-owned businesses (WOB) in the economic restructuring process of the U.S. The objectives of the study are to explore the processes through which gender and geography shape entrepreneurship and through which gendered entrepreneurship is in turn transforming places. The study will compare two metro areas of similar size, but with different proportions of WOBs: Colorado Springs, CO and Worcester, MA. The research plan calls for three phases of data collection in each place. The analysis will combine the case-oriented comparative method with variable-oriented statistical analysis. The research will contribute to theoretical and empirical understandings of the relationships among geography, gender, and entrepreneurship.

克拉克大学 拟议的研究将集中在妇女拥有的企业（WOB）在美国的经济结构调整过程中的经济重要性。该研究的目标是探索通过性别和地理塑造创业的过程，并通过性别创业反过来改变地方。 该研究将比较两个规模相似但WOB比例不同的都会区：科罗拉多州的科罗拉多斯普林斯和马萨诸塞州的伍斯特。 研究计划要求在每个地方进行三个阶段的数据收集。 分析将采用联合收割机案例导向的比较方法和变量导向的统计分析相结合。 该研究将有助于对地理、性别和创业之间关系的理论和实证理解。
