“…Accordingly, our results identified (as shown on the far-left horizontal line) the dimension emphasizing immigrant intercultural embeddedness. The articles within this category focus on the intercultural relationships of immigrants (Holt, 1997;Schøtt, 2018) and the embeddedness of the theoretical underpinnings (Kloosterman, 2010). The far-right side of the horizontal dimension indicates a focus on immigrants' motivation to begin and develop entrepreneurial activity (Krueger et al, 2000) as well as the availability and access to resources (Kloosterman, 1999, Edelman et al, 2010.…”

Immigrant entrepreneurship has become a phenomenon of global interest. This paper reviews existing immigrant entrepreneurship literature in order to map out the major streams of research and identify widely used theories, methods, and contexts. To do this, the authors have reviewed 514 articles from academic journals. This paper highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches that transcend boundaries. The development and adoption of different theoretical frameworks, the use of multi-level methods, and the consideration of unexplored country contexts are among the authors' recommendations for future research.

“…Transnational diaspora entrepreneurs are migrants, forced refugees, expat-preneurs and diasporic descendants, who established entrepreneurial activities, applying social networks and embracing the business environments of both their home and host countries (Riddle et al, 2010;Sandberg et al, 2019;Selmer et al, 2018). Diasporic entrepreneurs' social networks in both home and host countries give them competitive advantages by facilitating innovations, export and, generally, success of their businesses worldwide (Schøtt, 2018). Thus, diaspora entrepreneurs' firms usually are more internationalized (Brzozowski et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe aim of this study is to identify the distinctive features of the diaspora phenomenon through the aggregation and systematization of the business and management literature and propose a framework to apply in the future studies.Design/methodology/approachThe two-step research was based on a combination of bibliometric analysis and a manual in-depth study of academic articles. Overall, 421 academic papers in management and business journals until 2019 year were analyzed.FindingsThe authors provide a new holistic insight on the role of national diasporas for business outcomes via the analysis and systematization of the extant diaspora research. They revealed four definition approaches and five main clusters in the diaspora literature that have three main directions of research as international marketing with the tourism management focus, the IB research and diaspora entrepreneurship studies. The authors cover these main research streams and their contribution to the development of a topic.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed framework including definition approaches and suggestions on the further research can serve as a foundation for future studies to investigate the diaspora phenomenon. The findings also are of practical value for firms whose attention is paid to the effective management.Originality/valueTo bring more clarity to the existing and future development of diaspora research, this paper improves the structuring of the overall diaspora literature through clarification of the existing definitions of diaspora, provision of the criteria qualifying someone to be identified as a member of a diaspora, as well as an analysis and systematization of existing diaspora research streams and suggestions for future research directions.

“…Migrant entrepreneurs who share migration backgrounds and experiences are often more able to draw upon COO resources [70]. Diaspora entrepreneurs have particular knowledge of international markets, possess transnational social ties, and often identify with homelands [134,135], while returnee entrepreneurs have been seen as capable of securing COO as well as COR resources. Furthermore, transnational entrepreneurs hold a double cultural and experiential habitus, which they can access through home and host country networks [136].…”

This paper presents a qualitative, systematic literature review of refugee entrepreneurship research that has been published in academic outlets, up to 2018. We synthesize the contributions to the field, providing a state of the art, so as to elucidate our current understandings of the phenomenon and highlight gaps that will help enhance our future approaches and knowledge. The empirical analysis reveals a fast emerging, eclectic field, with research from a wide range of disciplines, produced by the ‘academic center’, largely in the ‘academic periphery’. Publication numbers have been on the rise, especially in the last ten years, yet, there is very little mutual acknowledgement and discussions arising between researchers, as revealed by a bibliometric analysis. A content analysis shows three main waves of publications based on countries of origin, countries of residence, and migration timeframes. The vast majority of publications take on an exploratory approach to research, with diverse theoretical framings from an array of disciplines, and the thematic clusters reveal how researchers are attempting to tease out the distinctiveness of refugee entrepreneurs from other, closely related entrepreneurship groups.
