Abstract
This study develops a profile of the second generation of Chinese entrepreneurs in Singapore. It analyzes their personal characteristics and examines their motivations to start a business. In‐depth interviews and content analysis were conducted. The motivation factors and key characteristics were clustered and three different groups of entrepreneurs were identified: the “achievers”, the “networkers” and the “hard workers”. Implications of the study are discussed.
