Note: To complete the dissertation and to pursue a doctorate, The University of North America had involved this writer in research on factors contributing to the success of the Nepalese business in the United States. I am thankful for the university’s support to manage and facilitate to conduct great work like this. These excerpts are the first in the publication series, and the other write-ups will be published continually.

Here are some of the excerpts not precisely, but the essence is the same. I will try to publish in a series and hope that this will be a supporting material for those who want to flourish and initiate their own business.

The study had covered data on business knowledge, educational level, and investment level that contribute to business success among Nepalese immigrants in the United States of America. The study contained 30 business firms in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., areas. The study has covered thirteen restaurants, four Subways, six Seven-Elevens, one liquor store, two grocery stores, and three pizza parlors. This research found that fast food, retail trade, and food and beverage are the significant businesses operated and owned by Nepalese entrepreneurs. More detail on these subjects will be discussed in the later publications.
The study was conducted to understand how Nepalese entrepreneurs describe their current business knowledge and its impact on business success. Also, directed to know how Nepalese entrepreneurs relate the influence that their education has had on their business success. and to examine how the entrepreneurs describe the relationship between investment and business success.
As mentioned before, the study had focused on an exploratory analysis of the business ventures Nepalese entrepreneurial immigrants have established. It also examined the original status of the Nepalese American entrepreneurs before they migrated to the United States. It explored the objective skill, knowledge, education, and capital investments these new American entrepreneurs brought with them.
Thousands of Nepalese have embarked on an epic American journey. However, the journey seems more like one undertaken for the Nepalese, perhaps a century ago, than one began today. Thus, Nepalese Americans’ resultant population is more varied, less homogeneous, and more formed by accident.
Nepal’s majority of people live in rural areas. It lies in South Asia with 56,136 square miles, located between China and India. It is well known as a place with the highest mountain globally: “Sagarmatha” or “Mount Everest.” Nevertheless, and contrarily, it is a land that traditionally breeds successful entrepreneurs, including many able to thrive in a distant alien land.
This writer is a native of Nepal and had tried best to communicate with participants and interpret the study results from both cultural perspectives since having familiarity with both Nepalese culture and the business environment of the United States allow to communicate with participants and interpret the results of the study from both cultural perspectives.
Although this study focused on implications for businesses created and operated by Nepalese entrepreneurs in Virginia, Maryland, and the Washington D.C. areas, this writer hopes its findings supported other future entrepreneurs as they consider businesses’ creation.
