Abstract
Questionnaire data was obtained from 220 minority entrepreneurs pertinent to their social backgrounds, demographic characteristics, and company characteristics. Comparisons with previous research on nonminority entrepreneurs found the minority entrepreneurs surveyed to be younger, less foreign-born, higher in educational level, but similar in economic and social background. Significant relationships were found between various personal characteristics of minority entrepreneurs and characteristics of their firms.Keywords
