“…Although entrepreneurship as a means to avoid unemployment and underemployment are quite well-known from the literature, the third mode of entry of immigrant entrepreneurship identified in this study is certainly not: immigrant entrepreneurship as a lifestyle-related choice to live in a geographical rural space of attraction is only superficially debated in research so far (except Stone and Stubbs, 2007). Entrepreneurship as a means to obtain flexibility or independence, on the other hand, has been more widely discussed, e.g.…”

“…Immigrant entrepreneurship has been developed as a field of study over a long period of time (Aldrich and Waldinger, 1990;Portes and Jensen, 1989;Kloosterman and Rath, 2001;Jones et al, 2010;Dana and Morris, 2007), and has in recent years also been widely discussed in Journal of Enterprising Communities (Knight, 2015;Stephens, 2013;Evans, 2012;Kyoung-Ho, 2014;Turkina and Thai, 2013;Crockett, 2013). However, we still know little about female immigrant entrepreneurs as argued by Pettersson and Hedberg (2013), Collins and Low (2010) and Essers et al (2010), and even less about rural immigrant entrepreneurship, a few exceptions apart (Kalantaridis, 2010;Zarrugh, 2007;Steinberg et al, 2010;Stone and Stubbs, 2007). This paper attempts to address the rural and gender gaps in our understanding of immigrant entrepreneurship as a contextualised process.…”

“…Migrants, wanted or not, however, can hold key assets to foster economic and social developmental processes, as the literature of amenity/lifestyle migration has noted [45,[69][70][71][72][73]. Rather than retreating to futile defensive positions, locals can take an active stance in voicing their view and working with the migrants towards shared identities and goals.…”

Amenity/Lifestyle Migration in the Chilean Andes: Understanding the Views of “The Other” and Its Effects on Integrated Community Development

2017

Abstract:Within the context of domestic amenity/lifestyle migration, we are interested in understanding the way local rural residents and migrants: (1) view each other; and (2) how those views affect an integrated community development. Using alterity theory as a guiding framework, we engaged in a qualitative study to examine such views and their effects along the lines of three axes: an epistemological (what people know about the other), an axiological (how people value the other), and a praxeological (how people interact with the other) one in the Chilean community of Malalcahuello. Findings suggests that, overall, both types of residents know little of the other, have and constantly reproduce negative value judgments of the other, and relate only in mundane non-significant ways. We provide explanations of how these relate to the reported diminished community development efforts in town.

“…In research completed by Ateljevic and Doorne (2000), the authors find that -tourism lifestyle entrepreneurs‖ in New Zealand provide unique opportunities to engage with -niche‖ market consumers informed by values common to themselves within rapidly segmenting markets. While lifestyle-oriented businesses may present opportunities in terms of tourism development, it also often poses challenges and constraints in terms of innovation and growth at the destination level (Stone and Stubbs 2007). This is discussed in the following section.…”

“…In research on rural tourism operators in Finland, Komppula (2000) found that a typical rural tourism entrepreneur avoids economic risks rather than wanting to make rapid growth investments in the business. These personal objectives, which lead lifestyle-oriented business owners to "constrain" their own business growth, can also lead them to oppose further growth within the local area (Stone and Stubbs 2007). At a macro level, lifestyle proprietorship may be deemed "problematic" by others in destination areas (Goulding et al 2004).…”

This study explores the importance of non-economic, personal and family lifestyle goals in the establishment of rural wine tourism operations and how these lifestyle goals influence the decisions and actions of owners as they relate to seasonality management.It also explores the ways in which lifestyle-oriented operations may be deemed -problematic‖ at the destination level in relation to managing for seasonality. The wine and tourism industries provide a particularly useful forum to explore entrepreneurial lifestyle motivations and how these play out in efforts to manage seasonality. Both the wine and tourism industries rely on cooperation for regional initiatives such as managing for seasonality or regional marketing, particularly when the businesses are small-scale and located in peripheral areas. However, if the lifestyle or personal goals of some owners are at odds with the profit maximisation goals of other owners, then developing a cohesive strategy can be a problem. This may reflect a general trend as to the challenges faced by the wine and tourism industries in rural areas that attract a diversity of business owners, including lifestyle-oriented business owners.
