Using a unique source of data for 260 urban entrepreneurs, this study provides empirical evidence that entrepreneurs{\textquoteright} personal savings and family funding are important sources of start-up capital. However, household income is the most important funding source in driving firm growth over time. This research directly addresses the lacuna of studies on entrepreneurship in emerging economies and contributes to our understanding of the critical role informal capital plays in the Chinese entrepreneurial process. Overall findings suggest that informal capital is still predominantly used over formal capital sources for financing firm start-up, underscoring the slow transition in China from an emerging to a modern economy.}, keywords = {Accounting, Finance, OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Elston,Julie and Chen,Sandy and Weidinger,Alois} } @article {1970206, title = {Entrepreneurial motives and characteristics: An analysis of small restaurant owners}, journal = {International Journal of Hospitality Management}, volume = {35}, year = {2013}, month = {2013}, pages = {294-305}, keywords = {Finance, OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Elston,Julie and Chen,Sandy} } @article {1970211, title = {Segmenting Slot Machine Players: A Factor-Cluster Analysis}, journal = {International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management}, volume = {24}, year = {2013}, month = {2013}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy and Zemke,D and Shoemaker,S} } @article {1970216, title = {An Investigation of the Demographic, Psychological, Psychographic, and Behavioral Characteristics of Chinese Senior Leisure Travelers}, journal = {Journal of China Tourism Research}, year = {2012}, month = {2012}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy and Gassner,M} } @article {1970221, title = {Senior Leisure Travelers: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Between China and the US}, journal = {Tourism Review International}, year = {2012}, month = {2012}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy} } @article {1977106, title = {Modeling Guest Participatory Roles in the Service Encounter}, year = {2011}, month = {2011}, address = {Denver, CO}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy} } @article {1970226, title = {Predicting Resident Intentions to Support Community Tourism:Toward an Integration of Two Theories}, journal = {Journal of Hospitality Marketing and Management}, volume = {21}, year = {2011}, month = {2011}, pages = {270-294}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy and Raab,C} } @article {1970231, title = {Residents{\textquoteright} perceptions of the impact of major annual tourism events in Macao: Cluster analysis}, journal = {Journal of Convention Event Tourism}, year = {2011}, month = {2011}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy} } @article {1981586, title = {Segmenting a Fragmented Market {\textendash} Challenges and How to Get It Right}, year = {2011}, month = {2011}, keywords = {BIS, Marketing, OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Montgomery,Todd} } @article {1977111, title = {Understanding American Senior Leisure Travelers}, year = {2011}, month = {2011}, address = {OSU-Cascades}, keywords = {OSU-Cascades, OSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt}, author = {Chen,Sandy} }
