Abstract: The Chinese, the largest ethnic population in the world, have traditionally been successful business owners. From various studies, personal characteristics and management styles, as well as social and cultural values, have been cited as reasons that contribute to the success of Chinese business owners in general, and to the prosperity of Singaporean Chinese entrepreneurs in particular. This article, aims to identify such success factors and to outline the evolution of Chinese-Singaporean culture, which at times impede entrepreneurship, and suggest ways to remedy the situation.
