Abstract:
|
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the ethnic profile of the entrepreneur in relation to
business activity, the reasons for creating the firm and the creation process. The aim is to analyze
whether or not belonging to a particular ethnic group has an influence on the said processes,
regardless of place of birth or nationality.
Design/methodology/approach – A total of 326 questionnaires were analyzed in order to carry out
an exploratory study on different ethnic communities in the region of Valencia (Spain) by identifying
the most influential factors for each of the dimensions studied.
Findings – The empirical results obtained show the relevance of ethnic origin. The variables that
correspond to business activity, motives for new firm creation and the process involved undergo
extremely significant alterations, depending on the origin of the entrepreneur.
Research limitations/implications – The paper focuses on a particular geographical area and
thus the limitations of the sample, as well as the influence of environmental factors may affect some of
the results.
Originality/value – The paper contributes towards understanding business activity among an
increasingly important collective in a globalized economy and provides valuable knowledge for creating
public policy aimed at the integration and development of different ethnic groups. |
