Abstract:
Hong Kong is a world leader in developing its economy and entrepreneurs have a unique status. This
research evaluates various components of the perception of success of these entrepreneurs and draws
conclusions that will benefit the educators, the legislators as well as the new entrants wishing to become
entrepreneurs. Leadership in the East has connotations of deep respect for all sections of the society and
based on Confucian principles of kindness and contributions quite different from that of the West. The
Hong Kong entrepreneur succeeds when they are able to blend the best qualities of the East and the West.
