Abstract

[...]the program participants have grown their regional business networks, which has been shown to be an important factor for rural business success. None were found to provide the technical and face-to-face training business owners wanted to receive. [...]the university, along with other state partners collaborated in creating the certificate program. According to Brookings Institute data, rural small businesses face additional challenges different from urban businesses such as the lack of access to capital, limited broadband connectivity, and being clustered in industries inordinately impacted by the pandemic such as retail, bars and restaurants (Love & Powe, 2020). Another large federal program is the USDA Rural Grant Development Assistance Program (USDA Rural Development-Subject, 2014), which aids through direct or guaranteed loans, grants, technical assistance, research and educational materials for qualified small businesses.

为发展中的农村企业开发小型企业教育项目

[…]项目参与者发展了他们的区域商业网络，这已被证明是农村商业成功的重要因素。没有一家公司能够提供企业主想要接受的技术和面对面的培训。[…]该大学与其他州合作伙伴合作创建了证书项目。根据布鲁金斯学会的数据，农村小企业面临着与城市企业不同的额外挑战，如缺乏资金、宽带连接有限，以及聚集在零售、酒吧和餐馆等受疫情影响严重的行业（Love&Powe，2020）。另一个大型联邦计划是美国农业部农村赠款发展援助计划（美国农业部农业发展主题，2014），该计划通过直接或担保贷款、赠款、技术援助、研究和教育材料为合格的小企业提供援助。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Small Business Strategy is an applied research journal. Manuscripts should be written with the small business/entrepreneurship educator, small business consultant in mind. Both conceptual and empirically-based papers are encouraged, but they must have an applied focus. All papers must have a significant literature review, be properly documented, with citations from research-based works rather than popular press or web sites. Since JSBS is an applied research journal, each article should include a substantial "Discussion and Implications" section that details how the research findings are relevant for the journal''s readers. Authors are discouraged from submitting manuscripts with extremely complex statistical analyses and/or a purely theoretical orientation. Case studies are acceptable if they contribute substantial to the understanding of small business strategy and include a significantly to the understanding of small business strategy and include a significant literature review that underscores the issues in the case. We do not accept teaching or pedagogical cases.
