Sampling Minority Business Owners and Their Families: The Understudied Entrepreneurial Experience

Abstract

JOURNAL OF SMALL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 422We here review and critique prior research on minority entrepreneurship, paying particular attention to the contributions and limitations of deployed sampling techniques and research methodologies. As based on this review, we then introduce the 2003 and 2005 National Minority Business Owner Surveys-a comprehensive and primary data collection effort that used varied methodologies to secure in-depth information about random national samples of African American, Korean American, and Mexican American populations as well as a comparison sample of nonminority business owners. We present the initial business ownership profiles developed with these recent data, in part, as a benchmark of the U.S. entrepreneurial experience, and compare the profiles with those presented in prior research. These profiles document similarities and differences across the four groups and provide an empirical foundation for understanding the origin of those similarities and differences. No longer can we ignore the in-depth study of minority businesses and their owning families nor can we simply assume that all businesses are the same, regardless of minority status or ethnicity.

Transnational entrepreneurs: Characteristics, drivers, and success factors

“…First, significantly fewer females than males (35.6% versus 58.9%) are found in the TE group. This finding is consistent with both Portes et al (2002) and Chen (2007) but contradicts evidence from the more conventional ethnic economy, where the incidence of women-owned small businesses is high (Puryear et al 2008). Second, the probability of becoming a TE in a four or more person household significantly falls.…”

Entrepreneuriat Familial : Croisement de deux champs ou nouveau champ issu d’un double croisement ?

“…Les obligations de ses membres les uns envers les autres et leurs rôles respectifs varient selon les cultures, voire entre les groupes ethniques (Puryear et al 2008), ce qui influence notamment les valeurs, les buts et les modes de gestion des entreprises familiales dans le monde (Gupta et al 2008;Sharma et al 2007). De même, la notion de famille évolue dans le temps, la famille du siècle dernier ne ressemble pas à celle d'aujourd'hui (Quéniart et Hurtubise, 1998).…”
