What Brings Entrepreneurial Success in a Developing Region?

Abstract

The choices made by an entrepreneur at different stages of the development of an enterprise are the key elements of entrepreneurship that contribute to entrepreneurial success. The choice characteristics for entrepreneurial success are context specific. Hence, the process of nurturing the requisite entrepreneurial quality mix involves identification of qualities that contribute to entrepreneurial success in a particular context. Keeping this consideration in view, this article analyses how individual background and choice characteristics of the entrepreneurs operating in the hotel industry of the north-eastern Indian state of Nagaland are associated with entrepreneurial success.
