Presenting a collection of case studies on immigrant and migrant entrepreneurship, this book offers an understanding of the phenomenon as a creation of a distinctive labor market that leads to innovation, productivity, and economic growth. As such, it contributes to SDG 8: 'Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.'Reflecting on the increasing interest in the subject, contributors provide new perspectives of migrants in diaspora, thus offering a better grasp of lived experiences. Chapters explore the common adversities that immigrant entrepreneurs face, such as the lack of knowledge in terms of operations of the host country market, dealing with unfair treatment, and the subsequent challenge of building long term relationships with locals. Focusing on individual migrant entrepreneurship cases and the recurrent challenges that such entrepreneurs encounter, many of the chapters are written by academics who are migrants with entrepreneurial experiences, which brings a unique insight into the topic. Exploring issues such as gender and enterprise, family business, and entrepreneurial activities, this distinctive collection provides a comprehensive overview of varied experiences of migrant entrepreneurs in both developed and developing countries.

This book is dedicated to honouring the contributions of Professor David Storey OBE in the field of entrepreneurship and small enterprises. David Storey, with his seminal book entitled Understanding the Small Business Sector, brought the field of entrepreneurship and small firms to the forefront of business economics and to the attention of policymakers as a critical parameter for economic growth and prosperity. His work paved the way for ongoing academic research into entrepreneurship and small firms both in the UK and worldwide. At that time, he was undoubtedly right to highlight the unique features of small firms, the significant role they would play in the economic setting, and the effective policies aimed at fostering productive entrepreneurship and healthy business activity.This edited volume brings together various articles, comments, and reflections motivated by Professor Storey’s theoretical, empirical, and policy work. It is a tribute to an academic who, with his specialized knowledge, academic insights, intuition, and analytical thinking, has greatly influenced, and will continue to influence, scientists and policy makers in the entrepreneurship and small business field. Professor Storey’s work has not only provided numerous answers to important questions related to this field but has also set a strong foundation for addressing future questions and challenges that the world faces today. This book is an excellent source for anyone interested in small business research and entrepreneurship, covering important research and policy issues in the field.

This book offers a pioneering analysis of Jua Kali (a Kiswahili term meaning “under the hot sun,” referring to Kenya’s informal sector) artisans in Kenya, elucidating their vital role in the informal economy through the lens of social networks and entrepreneurial performance. By employing a sequential exploratory mixed-methods approach, it explores artisans’ lived experiences and examines how social network attributes shape the success of Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). The book traces the evolution of Jua Kali from the 1970s to the present, situating these enterprises within Kenya’s socioeconomic landscape.Readers will discover how artisans utilise networks to overcome constraints such as limited capital, restricted market access, and regulatory hurdles. The chapters delve into the dynamics of network size, diversity, strength, and structure, revealing their impact on entrepreneurial success. The authors provide a comprehensive framework that links network attributes to the performance of SMMEs, offering insights into trust, collaboration, and market opportunities. This work advances debates in entrepreneurship and development studies, presenting actionable strategies for fostering sustainable growth in Kenya’s informal sector.Academics, policymakers, and development practitioners will find this book invaluable. It is essential reading for those interested in entrepreneurship, microenterprises, and social networks, offering a unique perspective on grassroots innovation and economic independence in developing economies.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between migrant entrepreneurship and the digital economy, providing valuable insights into how migrant entrepreneurs adapt, innovate, and network in the digital era. The book's distinctiveness lies in its focused examination of the challenges and opportunities faced by migrant entrepreneurs, featuring case studies and drawing on existing literature to offer a well-rounded analysis. It also introduces the Digitally‑Mediated Multiple Embeddedness (DMME) framework, an original conceptual lens that integrates mixed embeddedness theory, resource orchestration, and digital affordance perspectives to explain how migrant entrepreneurs navigate and create value across overlapping digital, social, and transnational contexts. Addressing the evolving dynamics of migrant entrepreneurship in the digital age, the author offers insights into how digital technologies shape entrepreneurial practices and contributes to economic growth. Moreover, the book's focus on digital inclusion and transnational networking processes provides a comprehensive understanding of how migrant entrepreneurs effectively participate in the global digital economy.Addressing the need for up-to-date, relevant insights into how migrant entrepreneurs orchestrate tangible and intangible resources in the context of digitalisation and entrepreneurship, the book explores the transformative role of digital technologies, offering evidence-based approaches to business and policy-making, fostering an enabling environment for migrant entrepreneurs to thrive. Overall, the book contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how diverse entrepreneurs navigate challenges and seize opportunities in an increasingly digital global economy, making it a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, and entrepreneurs.
