| Summary: | Entrepreneurial alertness plays an important role in the processes of opportunity exploration and exploitation.

A comprehensive model of entrepreneurial alertness are adopted and tested via structural equation modeling on the basis of survey data from 1080 entrepreneurs in two coastal regions of P. R. China. |
