Bumiputra entrepreneurship development has been a contentious topic that has been attracting lots of attention from researchers, academicians as well as criticisms for decades. The continued huge allocation of resources by the government towards the Bumiputra entrepreneurs’ development has been raising questions from different sources regarding the efficacy of the support by the government. However, limited literature on Bumiputra entrepreneurship therein attempted to tackle the wider perspective of the issues involved while ignoring to take on the specific issue that would proffer the ultimate panacea to the whole quagmire. Therefore, the prime intention of this study is to develop Bumiputra performance index in order to measure the effectiveness of the government support. Therefore, a logic model for Bumiputra entrepreneurs’ performance is proposed which eventually identified the four performance domains were adopted The Entrepreneur 360 Assessment criteria considered relevant in the context of Bumiputra entrepreneurs.
