The existing literature identifies a number of antecedent factors that positively influence the propensity of individuals to become entrepreneurs. Key among these is self-efficacy, knowledge of other entrepreneurs and the perception of opportunities. At the same time, current research shows that fear of failure is a major deterrent factor for entrepreneurs taking the entrepreneurial plunge. Using Shane's (2003) individual-opportunity nexus framework as an overarching theory, our study examines how these antecedents and deterrent factors influence the individual's propensity to start a new business in the three East Asian economies of Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. We also test for possible differences in the variables effects on an individual's propensity to start a new business out of necessity versus the perception of opportunity. Importantly, our findings highlight significant location differences among the variables for opportunity-driven start-ups, while no significant differences were found for necessity-driven start-ups. Finally, we discuss the relevant policy implications from our findings.

“…In many developing countries, women tend to have lower education than men (Coleman 2000;Cromie and Birley 1992).

“…On the one hand, it enables them to generate additional income for themselves and their families, create jobs and, eventually, actively contribute to the country's economy (see Sarri and Trihopoulou 2005). On the other hand, women also have to face many challenges involving financing, business skills, networks and support groups, among other things, to be able to set up their own business (Coleman 2000;Cromie and Birley 1992). 1 In Indonesia, microenterprises refer to businesses with assets that are up to Rp 50 million and turnovers that are up to Rp 300 million.…”

“…Similarly, reference [21] asserted the evidence that there is a significant difference for men and women in amount spent in developing and maintaining their contact in Ireland. A research on financing in Bulgaria found that women may be at a disadvantage in their social network due to the less degree of networking [22].…”

Abstract-The purpose of this paper is to make comparison in terms of social network between male and female Malay entrepreneurs in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Social network is defined as interrelationship between the entrepreneurs and their contact (alter) in business venturing. However, there is limited understanding on how the entrepreneurs use their social network. Moreover, there is dearth attention given to investigate the social network in developing country especially in Malaysia.
