Migration perspective on entrepreneurship

• Migration- a form of globalization- influences new venture creation, internationalization and overall economic landscape. These global flows of people shift human capital, entrepreneurial ideas and activities across places, but little is known on the interconnectedness of migratory and entrepreneurial dynamics. Theoretical lenses, such as migration theories, epidemic dynamics, gravity laws and bandwagon effects, among other explanatory models, have not really diffused into explaining entrepreneurship. This chapter broadens the view and addresses migration dynamics implanting entrepreneurs into new contexts and between contexts, and discusses the types of entrepreneurs and businesses “in dispersion”. The chapter advances the understanding of the intertwined nature of these two dynamics and contributes to the analytical clarity of the terminology employing the idea of topology.
