The research sample consisted of 363 entrepreneurs who answered a questionnaire. A focus group of nine representatives selected from different types of business and<br>related organizations was also carried out. The results, overall and in some respective aspects, revealed moderate levels of readiness. The entrepreneurs’ readiness, compared among types of business, was generally found significantly different at a 0.05 level of significance, except in terms of personnel and materials. Suggestions include: The entrepreneurs should be prepared to study laws relating to themselves and their organizations, in order to create clarity in organization management and taxation. They should have knowledge and skills in accounting. And, they should also improve and develop the products and innovations of their own.</p>}, number={3}, journal={University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce Journal Humanities and Social Sciences}, author={Kumkrua, Malinee and Pollachai, Wiyada and Pomso, Supaporn and Jorncharoen, Nirut}, year={2019}, month={Mar.}, pages={27–44} }
