Introduction
Researchers examining the overall variables that can impact the success of new businesses note that there are a host of variables that can impact overall success (Daniels, Radebaugh & Sullivan, 2004). In particular, market size, resources, regulations and procedures and risks must all be considered when determining whether or not to start a new business. With the realization that these variables are so important to business success, they must be examined when making a final decision with respect to staring a new business.In an effort to provide a comprehensive assessment of the viability of operating an online gaming business in China, this investigation considers the issues of market size, resources, regulations and procedures and risks. Specifically, the advantages and disadvantages of these issues will be examined to provide a more integral understanding of the challenges facing entrepreneurs in this area. In addition to examining the impact of these variables, the investigation also ties together the cultural, economic, political and legal issues that have been previously discussed. Through a synthesis of all of this research, it will be possible to make a formal recommendation about the viability of staring an online gaming business in the host country of China.

[...] Although various reports of the scandalous nature of online gaming and its debauchery can still be found in newspaper and magazine articles, more Chinese citizens have become open to this new technology. The relaxation of cultural standards has prompted the government to reduce gaming restrictions for adults. Rapid advances in technology have made access to capital in online gaming institutions a necessity. If online gaming organizations are to remain viable they will need to invest in new technologies. Even though the expansion of the online gaming industry has slowed technological innovation, this issue remains one of paramount concern for investors. [...]
[...] Conclusions Synthesizing the research that has been presented here and the research that has been previously presented with respect to the issue of cultural, economic, political and legal issues and the online gaming industry in China, there are a number of notable assertions that can be made about the industry overall.
