This book examines the advantages and disadvantages of Korean
immigrant entrepreneurs in the mainstream labor market. Immigrants
to the U.S. have historically pursued entrepreneurship as a means
of achieving economic affluence. Among immigrants since the 1965
Immigration Amendment Act, Koreans have one of the highest rates of
entrepreneurship.
This study investigates various structural elements, including
enclave and non-enclave economies, to uncover interconnections with
personal advantages such as capacities for resource mobilization
through networks and human capital utilized to establish
businesses. The results show that networks are the most prominent
resources that Korean immigrants use for business establishment.
However, networks are divided into two elements: family and social.
The examination of both types of networks shows how they operate
differently and generate different intrinsic to business
establishment.
Although previous studies have recognized the economic advantages
of immigrants with higher educational backgrounds, this study
further demonstrates how higher human capital is utilized through
network establishment to benefit business establishment. Also,
counter to traditional belief, it is found that ethnic resources
are not especially crucial resources for starting a business, but
are useful after businesses are established.
