“…Despite this growing attention and its impact on the world economy, the body of studies on women entrepreneurs still needs to grow (Ahl, 2006;De Bruin, Brush, & Welter, 2006De Vita et al, 2014). This is even more true in the economic and social contexts of developing countries (De Vita et al, 2014;Ramadani & Schneider, 2013) and transition economies (Ramadani, Gërguri, Dana, & Tašaminova, 2013;Ramadani, Rexhepi, Gërguri-Rashiti, Ibraimi, & Dana, 2014;Ramadani, 2015;Ramadani, Hisrich, Gërguri-Rashiti, 2015).…”

Female entrepreneurship in developing countries is a growing body of research that tries to address the main challenges faced in such a context. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the real opportunities for female entrepreneurs in terms of support for their start-ups. A lack of studies with this specific focus may detach the pertinent literature from real business practice and the true conditions faced by women during the start-up process. We grounded our analysis in Jordan, a country that has received little attention, despite the fact that it has one of the liveliest entrepreneurial contexts in the Middle East. A sample of 28 institutions operating in Jordan that offer support for entrepreneurial activities were examined. This is followed by a discussion of the main implications of the initiatives dedicated to female entrepreneurs.

“…Findings also indicate that the Indians in this study showed a great significance to financial security for themselves and their families. Ethnic entrepreneurship is a process of recognising opportunities in the host country market, while undertaking innovative, insecure and dangerous activities by people not from the country of residence, which is an effort to ensure own prosperity and for the family (Ramadani et al, 2014). According to Ramadani et al (2014), his study found that the women entrepreneurs are also an important resource within the business sector.…”

Migration is a global phenomenon and has gained worldwide recognition for its socioeconomic impacts on host and home country. According to the literature, one of the most important emanations of migration are remittances. They facilitate poverty reduction, education improvement, entrepreneurial investments and even the economic evolution of the home state. Globally, India and Pakistan are in the top ten money receiving-countries. This paper provides an overview about migration, and the worldwide remittance flow of migrants from India and Pakistan to their home countries. We sought to make a nonlinear model by dividing remittance per person with the number of immigrants from India and Pakistan worldwide, also focusing on the ratio of male and female immigrants in the population. The results show that remittances change exponentially over the years. This increase is stronger in the case of India than Pakistan and, more interestingly, gender ratios have influenced remittances per year.

“…In recent decades in the industrialised world, especially in metropolitan areas, there has been a large influx of people from different socio-cultural or ethnic origins (Ramadani, Rexhepi, Gërguri-Rashiti, Ibraimi, & Dana, 2014;Vries, Hamilton, & Voges, 2015). Diversity has resulted in a wide variation of personal strengths such as language skills, social, cultural and international connections that can be channeled into entrepreneurship and transferable to local economies (Gunay & Aydin, 2015).…”

“…Skilled migrants and entrepreneurial categories have different cultural beliefs and language skills, perspectives and ideas, that can help grow or start-up new businesses (Karmokar, 2016). Majority of ethnic entrepreneurs operate in the services sector with small start-up capital and manage to generate a small income (Ramadani et al, 2014). Generally, these communities have lower levels of education and tend to use informal sources to support their business.…”

Academic entrepreneurship refers to efforts undertaken by universities to promote commercialization, start-ups, technology transfer and university spin offs. A growing trend among tertiary students is to consider not only traditional ventures and new product initiatives but also expand to include social ventures that serve social needs. This paper builds upon the emerging interest and explores ways to connect academic entrepreneurship to external communities through design methods. We use design as a core component of all activities and observe how these activities foster ethnic entrepreneurship. The knowledge and application of design methods is transferred from product development to entrepreneurial capacity-building in the ethnic community. Ethnic entrepreneurship is a challenging process of identifying opportunities in a new market, and undertaking innovative projects. Small communities and minority groups often feel left out either because they come from a different background and culture, or because they are unfamiliar with approaches, and lack the necessary networks that are required to become entrepreneurs. This paper presents a pilot study in which we have addressed key entrepreneurial needs of a selected community, through a series of capacity-building workshops based on design methods.
