Women Ceos Focus On Long-term Growth

The Top Woman-Led Businesses in Massachusetts: 2005 Results study found that woman-run businesses are key drivers of revenue and employment as well as strong sources of philanthropic activity. The companies in the survey that reported revenues generated $10 billion and, together, all the companies that participated in the study employed more than 21,000 people. Debunking the perception that women typically own lifestyle and retail-oriented businesses, woman-led businesses are as diverse as the economy.

"The study uncovers valuable business lessons that we can all learn from," said Professor Nan S. Langowitz, director of the Center for Women's Leadership at Babson College and chief researcher and author of the study. "The women CEOs are committed to building strong and thriving organizations for the long haul; their businesses are major engines of growth for the economy and key sources of philanthropy for the community."
