“…In the Chinese entrepreneurial context, small and medium enterprises comprise the majority of the Chinese economy, accounting for 58.5% of GDP in 2009 ( Zhou, 2012 ). Chinese entrepreneurs are mainly driven by profit and commercial value within the ambiguous rules and limited institutional framework of business governance in China ( Cinar et al, 2018 ).…”

Although the impact of entrepreneurs’ social identity on successful entrepreneurship has attracted much scholarly attention, it is often to evaluate successful entrepreneurship through direct channel to financial performance. Recently, there is a growing body of researches beginning to pay attention to the impact of entrepreneurs’ social identity on corporate social responsibility (CSR) regarded as indirect social aspect channel to successful entrepreneurship. However, little is known regarding how entrepreneurs’ Darwinian social identity affects CSR, which in turn, affects business performance. This study addresses this issue by combining stakeholder theory with social identity theory, to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurs’ Darwinian social identity and business performance via CSR. In addition, the moderating effect of entrepreneur’s well-being is further examined to uncover the interaction effect of the individual psychological resource on business performance. The empirical results indicate that entrepreneurs’ Darwinian social identity contributes positively to CSR, so as further to business performance. In addition, this relationship is further found to be significantly moderated by entrepreneurs’ well-being. The results indicate that entrepreneurs can achieve business success via CSR, by which entrepreneurs can further acquire successful entrepreneurship through caring more about their well-being.

“…More worth considering is how to maintain the order of future society if we can copy and print anything using a 3D printer, such as ATM cards, keys, firearms and so on [13]. Therefore, the design of new products related to intellectual property rights should be redefined and protected, the relevant departments should promptly develop or update the law of intellectual property protection.…”

Abstract. 3D printing is a new type of mainstream processing technology in the field of industrial design. Compared with traditional manufacturing technology, 3D printing can manufacture more complex products with low cost, high efficiency and simple operation. It use the computer software design and modeling of three-dimensional digital materials with the material printer to promote the manufacture of products. Industrial design is one of the most important applications of 3D printing technology, so the author mainly studies and analysis the opportunities brought by 3D printing technology for industrial design and how to actively face the challenge. Through the research, we found that 3D printing technology has brought good prospects for industrial design, which not only accelerate the development of industrial design, but also make the manufacturing of products to meet the needs of more users.

“…Small and medium enterprises (SME) are an important component of Chinese economy, contributing a large portion to the country's annual gross domestic product (GDP). In 2009, SME generated 58.5 per cent of GDP, 50 per cent of tax revenues, 68 per cent of exports and 75 per cent of new employment (Zhou, 2012). As China continues its path toward development and a more liberalized market place, the growing trend of entrepreneurial activities is becoming inevitable.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare influential factors of entrepreneurial activities over time in China and to compare China with other selected countries. The data are collected from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). The method used is decision trees and chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHAID) analysis, which isolates important factors and examines entrepreneurship predictor importance. Design/methodology/approach The method used is decision trees and CHAID analysis which isolate important factors and examine entrepreneurship predictor importance. The original contribution of this paper is that this is the first time where artificial decision trees are applied to data to isolate factors that influence business startups and used across countries for comparative purposes. It is also the first application of this model to Chinese GEM. CHAID trees and predictor importance show the value of motivations of people who have already started businesses and shed light on how public policy can be influential in promoting entrepreneurship. Findings Results indicate that solid knowledge and skills of how to start a business and knowing someone who has already started a business are the most important factors in China and in most of the selected countries. Fear of failure is becoming less important for Chinese entrepreneurs over the years from 2003 to 2012. Results show that countries, including China, have to enhance skill and knowledge education if they want to promote small business entrepreneurship as a policy. The findings support human capital theory. Research limitations/implications The limitations of this study are due to using aggregated data from GEM surveys, which do not allow the authors to examine individual or household behavior. The authors do not know the variance and the distribution of responses to the questions asked and the locations in which the surveys were conducted. Another limitation is that GEM data do not report regional variations which can be modeled. For future work, the authors suggest more detailed data availability which will lead to isolating entrepreneurial problems and highlighting relevant attitudes important to entrepreneurs. Practical implications Better data collection is needed at household and regional levels to understand business starts and to promote entrepreneurship. Social implications Social implication of this research is to find out effective ways to increase entrepreneurial activities, therefore creating job opportunities and boosting economic growth. Educational programs will also decrease disparity of opportunity and incomes between different geographical regions in the country. The original contribution of this paper is that this is the first time artificial decision trees are applied to data to isolate factors that influence business startups across countries. Originality/value The original contribution of this paper is that this is the first time where artificial decision trees are applied to data to isolate factors that influence business startups and used across countries for comparative purposes. It is also the first application of this model to Chinese GEM. CHAID trees and predictor importance show the value of motivations of people who have already started businesses and shed light on how public policy can be influential in promoting entrepreneurship. This research modeled the breakdown of reasons people would start a business by using GEM data surveys.
