Small Business Success in Rural Communities: Explaining the Sex Gap.
Bird, Sharon R.; Sapp, Stephen G.; Lee, Motoko Y.
Rural Sociology, v66 n4 p507-31 Dec 2001
Supporting a "structural relational" view of small business success, data from 423 small business owners in Iowa suggest that links between owner characteristics, social relational processes, business structure, and success operate differently depending on urban-rural location and owner sex. Female owners had more professional training than males, but training related to success only under certain conditions. (Contains 42 references.) (SV)
