This comprehensive Research Handbook provides insights into
entrepreneurship across a range of country contexts, migration
corridors and national policies to provide a collection of
conceptual, empirical and policy-focused findings addressing
transnational diaspora entrepreneurship. Chapters illustrate the
phenomenon, considering what it is, how it works and how it is
regulated. Contributions from top scholars in the field underline
the view that transnational diaspora entrepreneurship is a
socio-cultural as well as an economic phenomenon of increasing
worldwide relevance in shifting economic, technological and
political landscapes. Conceptual and methodological developments
are presented from multiple perspectives, embedding unique country-
and- context-based empirical research. Split into four key thematic
sections, this Research Handbook first provides readers with an
overview of the topic, before delving into country-specific case
studies, migration corridors and their impacts, and then finally
exploring the policy implications. Entrepreneurship scholars and
students—particularly those with a focus on global
entrepreneurship, diasporas, migration and international
entrepreneurship—will find this a timely and important read. It
will also be of value to administrators of entrepreneurial and
migration programs, business developers, investment and startup
agencies, diaspora organisations, NGOs and think-tanks.
This contributed volume focuses on diasporans, their
characteristics, networks, resources and activities in relation to
international business and entrepreneurship. It presents an
overview of diaspora concepts from an economic perspective, and
analyzes the global-economic and societal effects and mechanisms,
revealing both positive and negative aspects of diaspora
activities. Providing insights into the socio-cultural influences,
it discusses diaspora entrepreneurship and international business,
the respective organisational models, investments and business
types. Lastly it offers an assessment of managing diaspora
resources and policymaking. This book was created by an
interdisciplinary team of editors, co-authors and reviewers
including historians, sociologists, psychologists, linguists and
ethnologists, as well as experts in public policy, international
business, marketing and entrepreneurship. This unique team (many of
the authors are themselves diasporans with an extensive
understanding of their topic) provides the first global academic
platform on the subject, combining the latest empirical evidence
from developing, emerging, transitional and developed countries
with various combinations of diaspora flows that to date have
received little attention.
This volume examines self-initiated expatriates (SIEs), the
category of highly skilled people whose movement from one country
to another is by choice. Although they are not forced to relocate
due to work, conflict or natural disaster, their migration pattern
is every bit as complex. The book challenges previous theoretical
approaches that take for granted a more simplistic view of this
population, and advances that mobility of SIEs relates to the
expatriates themselves, their conditions and the different
structures intervening in their career life course. With their
visible increase worldwide, this book positions itself as a nexus
for this on-going discussion, while linking self-initiated
expatriation to the theoretical landscape of international skilled
migration and mobility. Major interests that catch attention are
transnational practices, work-related experiences and personal life
course, including forms of inequalities in their migration
experiences. The book identifies forms and drivers of migratory
behaviour and provides an argument concerning the broader processes
of mobility and integration. As such, this book constitutes a
departure point for future research in terms of theoretical
underpinnings and empirical rigor on global highly skilled mobility
of SIEs. The collection of empirical case studies offers an
insightful analysis for policy makers, concerned stakeholders and
organizations to better cope with this form of migration.
