Determinants Of Survival And Profiability Among Asian Immigrant-Owned Small Businesses
Determinants Of Survival And Profiability Among Asian Immigrant-Owned Small Businesses
Working Paper Number CES-93-11
Abstract
The immigrant entrepreneur is often seen as a member of supportive peer and community subgroups. These networks assist in the creation and successful operation of firms by providing social resources in the form of customers, loyal employees and financing. This study provides evidence that the success and survival patterns of Asian immigrant firms derive from their large investments of financial capital and the impressive educational credentials of the business owners. Heavy utilization of social support networks typifies the less profitable, more failure-prone small businesses owned by Asian immigrants.
