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（Clark University）拟议的研究将重点关注美国拥有的企业（WOB）在美国的经济重组过程中的经济重要性。该研究的目标是探索性别和地理塑造企业家精神以及性别企业精神的过程。 该研究将比较两个大小相似的都会区，但比例不同：马萨诸塞州科罗拉多斯普林斯和伍斯特。 该研究计划要求每个地方收集数据的三个阶段。 该分析将将面向病例的比较方法与面向可变的统计分析相结合。 这项研究将有助于对地理，性别和企业家之间关系的理论和经验理解。
