Abstract

The literature presents a confusing picture regarding the performance of black entrepreneurs. One reason for the relatively higher failure rate for black entrepreneurs may be the environment in which they begin operations–-the inner city. A study was conducted of black-owned and white-owned Inner city firms to examine this issue. The findings suggest that the race of the owner is not a very Important factor for distinguishing between relatively successful and unsuccessful firms in this Inner city area.
