Female Immigrant Entrepreneurs

Written by a team of researchers based in prestigious business schools and universities on almost every continent, this important book begins the process of discovering why and how female driven business start-ups often seem to spontaneously emerge in adverse environments. Is it randomness, luck, or chance that determines success or failure, or vital critical forces and the inherent qualities of the women involved? The research emerging from the Female Immigrant Entrepreneurship (FIE) project discusses the integration of immigrant communities, their interaction with host economic and business environments, and the role of women in that interaction.
