Who Are Ethnic Entrepreneurs? A Study of Entrepreneursapos; Ethnic Involvement and Business Characteristics
提出用企业家在族裔社区的个人参与程度而非族裔归属来定义“族裔企业家”，通过对112位亚裔和拉丁裔企业家的数据分析，发现高参与度与低参与度群体在个人背景、商业目标、文化价值观、商业策略和绩效上存在显著差异。
This article proposes that the term “ethnic entrepreneur” should be defined by the levels of personal involvement of the entrepreneur in the ethnic community instead of reported ethnic grouping. It hypothesizes that significant differences in personal and business characteristics will surface between the most community-involved and least community-involved ethnic entrepreneurs. T-tests were done on 112 Asian and Latino entrepreneurs split into top and bottom quartiles on the personal involvement scale. Results showed several significant differences between the two groups on variables relating to the entrepreneurs' background characteristics, business-related goals, cultural values, business strategies, and business performance.
