Although there is an expanding body of literature on the
characteristics, aspirations, motivations, challenges and barriers
of mainstream entrepreneurs, relatively little is known about
whether these findings can be applied to the entrepreneurial
activities of minority groups. This book addresses this short-fall
and presents an international review of the characteristics,
motivations and obstacles of eight minority groups: younger; older;
women; ethnic; immigrant; lesbian, gay and bisexual; disabled; and
indigenous entrepreneurs. The expert contributors discover enormous
variability between these minority groups, such as in the
motivators that either 'pushed' or 'pulled' individuals into an
entrepreneurial venture, as well as diverse attitudes toward
'success': some groups wanted to achieve financial security -
others wanted to enhance their sense of self-worth, or to change
existing social and economic circumstances. However, some striking
similarities were noted: initial disadvantage often created a
powerful impetus to starting up a business venture, and accessing
finance was extremely difficult for many. Including comparative
cross cultural data and case studies on the various minority groups
reviewed, both post graduate students and undergraduate students
studying entrepreneurship will find this book an invaluable
resource. In addition, it will also be of interest to policy
makers, governments and all those who wish to comprehend the nature
of small business ownership for a wide range of minority business
owners.
