Abstract

Rural tourism is especially appealing to women entrepreneurs. While managing rural tourism businesses requires complex abilities, rural women in most cases are impoverished and poorly educated and have scarce resources; this limits their opportunities to independently develop comprehensive abilities. Focusing on the case of a 10-year regional program aiming specifically to improve women’s entrepreneurship in China, this study examines the actual behaviors of women entrepreneurs and the outcomes of entrepreneurship improvement due to the developmental agency’s intervention. From the perspective of action learning, this study not only reveals the vital role of intellectual support, which complies with the nature of knowledge in tourism, but also proposes a theoretical framework describing the dynamic collaborative learning process between the development agency’s staff and entrepreneurs responding to the changing market. The collaborative action learning drives women entrepreneurs to overcome barriers in practice, improve entrepreneurship, and achieve independence.

乡村旅游中女性创业能力的提升:行动学习视角
乡村旅游对女企业家尤其有吸引力。虽然管理乡村旅游业务需要复杂的能力,但农村妇女在大多数情况下贫困,受教育程度低,资源匮乏;这限制了他们独立发展综合能力的机会。本研究以一个旨在改善中国女性创业的10年区域项目为例,考察了发展机构干预下女性企业家的实际行为和创业改善的结果。本研究从行动学习的视角出发,不仅揭示了智力支持在旅游业中的重要作用,符合旅游业知识的本质,而且提出了一个描述发展机构员工与企业家应对市场变化的动态协同学习过程的理论框架。协同行动学习推动女性企业家克服实践障碍,提高创业能力,实现独立自主。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research (JHTR) is an international scholarly research journal that publishes high-quality, refereed articles that advance the knowledge base of the hospitality and tourism field. JHTR focuses on original research, both conceptual and empirical, that clearly contributes to the theoretical development of our field. The word contribution is key. Simple applications of theories from other disciplines to a hospitality or tourism context are not encouraged unless the authors clearly state why this context significantly advances theory or knowledge. JHTR encourages research based on a variety of methods, qualitative and quantitative.
