Indeed, the discussion also accords with the growing discussion on the 'diaspora option' or how diasporas can contribute to the development of the COO (see Meyer, 1997;Minto-Coy, 2016a;Zweig, 2008;). In a globalised and interconnected world, this actor will become an even more critical agent in emerging markets' development arsenal and drive towards developing more entrepreneurial economies.…”

Abstract:Increasing attention has been placed on diasporas and migration globally, for a number of reasons, including the growing size of this group. Within this context the diaspora exists as one of the key stakeholders and sources of knowledge and innovation in many developing and emerging countries. Nevertheless, approaches such as economic intelligence and territorial intelligence, which accord a major role for innovation, knowledge, and the involvement of stakeholders, have paid little attention to the value of this group, particularly in emerging and developing contexts. We propose that for many emerging countries, given the history and reality of a growing global diaspora population, the diaspora is emerging as a critical stakeholder in the growth of their home countries and its ability to grow and develop TI and EI. This is illustrated through an examination of the case of Haiti which helps to shed new light on the potential for the Diaspora in this regard, helping to extend the literature and understanding of TI & EI and the role of diasporas as sources of innovation and knowledge.

This is amply illustrated through the experiences of the Caribbean more generally, but in this case Haiti which helps to shed new light on the potential for the Diaspora in this regard, helping to extend the literature and understanding of TI & EI.…”

Who creates international marketing agility? Diasporic agility guiding new market entry processes in emerging contexts

International marketing agility is a crucial dynamic capability in international business. The purpose of this article is to examine who creates it and how exporters and partners leverage diasporic agility. We employ case study research on two diaspora entrepreneurs acting as ambidextrous strategic channel partners and playing a central role in guiding the exporter to new markets. In both cases, the role of the diaspora entrepreneurs as channel partners was decisive in providing multistage agility for the exporter while employing their specific market drive and understanding as a source of competitive advantage. While the exporters concentrated on their core business, the partners sensed, seized, and reconfigured resources to enable market entry and growth under culturally and politico‐economically demanding conditions. The diasporic understanding of the markets was a unique form of this agility and fundamental for the right strategies and an exporter's international marketing. Diaspora channel partners facilitated entry and lowered the cost of international marketing by providing advanced and more locally legitimate knowledge, fostering ambidexterity. We contribute to the conceptualization of the role of diaspora as an international marketing agility actor.
