Abstract: Ressources ethniques et égalité des chances : les entreprises indo-pakistanaises en Grande-Bretagne et au Canada Trevor P. JONES et David MCEVOY La création d'entreprises par les immigrants du sous-continent indien est une réponse à une situation de marginalisation, plus qu 'une prédisposition culturelle au commerce.
