Been searching for a seminal article on Transnational Entrepreneurship theory that I could link to my proposed dissertation topic on the relationship between Diaspora investment and business incubation. It looks like International Entrepreneurship (IE) Theory and Entrepreneurial Internationalization (EI) Theory may sound different than Transnational Entrepreneurship theory. Any help is highly appreciated.
I would have thought that google would have pointed out those seminal papers.
How does TE differ from IE?
I have seen papers on migration and investment/ startup. Also working abroad - migrant work.
Perhaps these may be better search keywords
Diaspora Entrepreneurship (DE), Transnational (DE), and Transnational Entrepreneurship (TE) are identical terms and closely related but differ in their definitions ontologically (Elo, 2016). Additionally, TE is a developing theory and represents a form of International Entrepreneurship (IE) linking businesses across national borders. I think all of these are spin offs of Hymer’s (1960) internalization theory.
In that case the literatuee may be more sparse/ scarce. Look to the fields closest.
I suggest you:
Drori, I., Honig, B., Wright, M. (2009). Transnational Entrepreneurship: An Emergent Field of Study. Entrepreneurship Theory & PRactice, p. 1001-1022.
