  1. ouuu this is a current issue! the gender/ pay gap is something thats always controversial. i love that fact that you're tackling this. "Is there a different level of production that comes from female or male run businesses. & Does the sex of the CEO have any financial effect on that business?" are two questions that i think will really get the conversation started! i would so look into this once an actual acura is formed. also way to narrow down your search terms, but maybe focus on one region of the world? like just the US or china and compare those two.

  2. I love that you mentioned the pay gap, I have actually did a entire research project on the gender pay gap. I think that can be very interesting to research. You choose some great questions. I like the good correlation between that and you keywords. It should be very easy to pick some journals.
