Abstract
This research note reports conclusions from a small group of interviews done with Korean- American entrepreneurs located in three ethnic enclaves near Atlanta, GA. We found that these ethnic entrepreneurs started and operated their businesses in ways similar to what has been reported in prior research and similar to native-born American entrepreneurs. However, we found some important differences. Korean electronic social media was employed in ways not previously reported. Churches provided support that may have been greater than secular enclave associations. And the enclaves themselves evolved in ways different than has been reported about Korean enclaves elsewhere. All of these topics deserve additional research.
