Domestic markets become saturated and netrepreneurs of SMEs are increasingly under pressure to globalize their business. Although Chinese who have been educated in Japan often start their own business in Japan, entrepreneurial activities of ethnic Chinese in Japan remain uninvestigated.

The results let us infer that successful Chinese enterepreneurs have high levels of CQ and strong preferences in the market environment.
