Entrepreneurship is hot. China is hot. Combining these two concepts
could therefore be a dangerous act, as it may cause overheating.
Chinese entrepreneurs are indeed the subject of a rapidly growing
body of literature, academic and popular. However, the bulk of it
tends to focus on a few aspects. There are the biographies of
'famous' entrepreneurs. While informative, these are usually of a
non-academic nature. Academic studies tend to focus on the
political and economic environment in which present day Chinese
entrepreneurs have to operate. Both types of publications slight
the entrepreneurial identity. This study aims at filling this gap
with its core question: why do some people become entrepreneurs?
The authors have analysed the life stories of a number of Chinese
private entrepreneurs to reveal how the entrepreneurial identity of
each of them has emerged at the cross section of an number of other
identities. This book therefore contributes to a better
understanding of Chinese entrepreneurship and the study of
entrepreneurship in general.
