Abstract

Three hypotheses for successful entrepreneurship in the Asia Pacific are introduced based on knowledge management and service science in Chap. 1. For case studies, 12 successful examples of entrepreneurship in the Asia-Pacific are selected from China including the region of Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Malaysia and Vietnam. In each case study, the 5 attributes considered as key factors for the entrepreneurship in the Asia-Pacific region, i.e. personal aspiration and goals/objectives of entrepreneurial business (Desires), the way of life and value sense (Desires), ability of forecasting the future business environment or future society (Opportunities), core resources or core technologies (Capabilities), and how to manage the company or proceed his business (Capabilities), are analyzed by using collected information on entrepreneurs and their businesses. In this chapter, the three hypotheses on entrepreneurship in the Asia-Pacific region are verified to be valid through investigating summarized results of 12 case studies.
