According to our research, the careful placement of a social media advertisement can statistically increase engagement components by more than 50%. According to IBIS World (Kennedy, 2021), notwithstanding the pandemic in 2020, tourism provided $590.7 Billion in revenue and employed about 5 million people across the United States. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, over 8 million more Americans went hiking in 2020 compared to 2019. According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of all small businesses fail within the first year, 50% by the fifth year, and 80% by the tenth year.
根据我们的研究,社交媒体广告的精心放置可以统计上增加50%以上的粘性成分。根据IBIS World (Kennedy, 2021年)的数据,尽管2020年发生了大流行,但旅游业仍为美国带来了5907亿美元的收入,并在美国各地雇佣了约500万人。根据户外行业协会的数据,与2019年相比,2020年徒步旅行的美国人增加了800多万。根据美国劳工统计局的数据,大约20%的小企业在第一年就倒闭了,第5年倒闭了50%,第10年倒闭了80%。

Prior research shows that rural entrepreneurship has its own distinct elements and deserves additional attention within the research community. The frameworks and methodologies from studies focused on high-growth and technology-based entrepreneurship are often used to explore rural entrepreneurial activities. This incongruence limits our understanding of the true impact entrepreneurship can have on rural communities. The articles in this special issue help advance our knowledge of rural entrepreneurship as a distinct field of study, and add to our understanding of its impact in the rural context. Additional research avenues are suggested.

The COVID-19 global crisis and the ensuing lockdown of large parts of society and economic life has been an exogenous shock to society (Kuckertz et al., 2020). It is predicted the impact on the small business sector is likely to be severe (Fairlie, 2020). The findings of this international qualitative study offer a first-hand and real-time account of the adversity encountered by small rural businesses during the first lockdown in the COVID-19 pandemic and insight into how their leaders exercised resilience. Drawing upon the evidence from 38 small business entrepreneurs and four business support organizations, the data pointed out three main challenges in terms of adversity relating to business model change, information flow and sense-making, and weak strategy. The study also brings new insight into five leadership practices and behaviors that help exercise entrepreneurial resiliency: personal and business experience of crises, positive mindset, personal faith, learning and leading, and relationships.
新冠肺炎全球危机以及随之而来的社会和经济生活的大部分封锁对社会造成了外部冲击(Kuckertz et al.,2020)。据预测,对小企业部门的影响可能会很严重(Fairlie,2020)。这项国际定性研究的结果为农村小企业在新冠肺炎疫情第一次封锁期间遇到的困境提供了第一手和实时的描述,并深入了解了他们的领导人如何发挥韧性。根据来自38位小企业企业家和四个商业支持组织的证据,该数据指出了与商业模式变化、信息流和决策以及薄弱战略相关的三大逆境挑战。这项研究还对五种有助于锻炼创业韧性的领导实践和行为进行了新的见解:危机的个人和商业经历、积极的心态、个人信仰、学习和领导以及人际关系。

[...]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.
