Synopsis: Analysing immigration around the world, Immigrant Entrepreneurship: Opportunities, Ventures and Outcomes in a Global Market illuminates how immigrant entrepreneurs overcome barriers to mobilise resources across diverse socio-economic environments. Drawing on case studies from Africa, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere, the author explores how contemporary migration patterns, informal economies and digitalisation influence entrepreneurial outcomes. In emphasising entrepreneurial strategies that help adapt to exclusion and regulatory complexity, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the entire field of immigrant entrepreneurship. The global comparative approach taken by this book sheds light on the vital role that immigration plays in driving entrepreneurial growth in economic development around the world. The result is a resource that is enlightening reading for researchers and advanced students of entrepreneurship, international business and development studies.
