Factors Influencing Performance of Immigrant Service Firms
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Although immigrant businesses continue their proliferation across the world, research that accompanied this phenomenon has so far produced only little insights and generated limited explanations on performance matters. This is particularly true in non-western contexts. Meanwhile, a growing literature is pointing to the fact that 21st century immigrant firms are getting much sophisticated and performing in ways that differ significantly than traditional immigrant firms. Drawing on the approach developed by Storey (1994) for the small business sector, this paper builds a conceptual model that governs performance of immigrant service firms. The model encompasses factors pertinent to the entrepreneur/owner, the firm, and the firm strategy. By doing so, the study aims to bring to light new insights on factor leading to performance of immigrant service firms which could be useful to immigrant entrepreneurs and policymakers alike.
