      abstract = {Producer service firms are growing rapidly in rural areas.  Included in this expansion are “Lone  Eagles”—export-oriented sole proprietors—and “High  Fliers”—export-oriented companies with at least one  employee. Interviews with 240 rural producer service firms  located in a diverse sample of rural counties show that  about 40 percent of the businesses are Lone Eagles or High  Fliers. They are located in rural areas for quality-of-life  reasons and are founded by highly educated people who have  “niche” market business concepts that pay off in relatively  high sales per worker. Face-to-face communication remains a  very important means of delivering their services, but  advanced information technologies are also important.},
