  • Understanding the journey: Challenges, opportunities, and pathways for refugee entrepreneurship   Order a copy of this article
    by Ujal Ibrahim, Martha Archuleta, Brad Lundahl, Caren Frost 
    Abstract: Entrepreneurship has the potential to aid refugees in integrating into the host country and adapting to mainstream life. The purpose of this study was to explore the entrepreneurship journey of refugees and its impact on their integration process in the USA. Findings of the study derived from semi-structured, individual interviews conducted with entrepreneurs from refugee backgrounds. The emergent overarching themes indicated that despite encountering language, culture, regulatory, and system-related barriers, as well as limited access to business funds and mainstream business resources, the entrepreneurship experiences of refugees gave them a sense of autonomy, freedom, and hope for a brighter future.
    Keywords: refugee; entrepreneurship; refugee entrepreneurship; refugee entrepreneurs; refugee integration; migration; integration.

    by Masihullah Nemat 
    Abstract: This study investigates how immigrant entrepreneurship drives invention and socio-economic progress in Canada. The research investigation aims to fill the gaps in comprehension of the accomplishments, difficulties, and lessons learned of immigrant businesses and looks at successful policy measures as well as assistance mechanisms in Canada. In the literature review, key theories, ideas, and models related to immigrant businesses and creativity are examined, including the Triple Helix model, social capital theory, and the push-pull theory of entrepreneurship. The data are analysed using thematic analysis, which leads to key insights into immigrant businesses and their ingenuity. It offers policy recommendations based on solid research. In order to make the best use of the talents of immigrant corporate executives and contribute to Canada's economic growth via innovation, the research concludes that a favourable and welcoming entrepreneurial environment must be developed.

  • Impact of Organisational Culture on Innovation Performance in Nascent Social Enterprises through Entrepreneurial Orientation   Order a copy of this article
    by Luc Phan Tan  
    Abstract: This study introduces a novel model assessing the influence of organisational culture on innovation performance in emerging social enterprises in Vietnam, mediated by entrepreneurial orientation. Utilising data from 253 survey responses, the research reveals how cultivating organisational culture can transform management practices and operational strategies, enhancing innovation outcomes. The findings indicate that embedding innovation, initiative, and risk-taking into the core of organisational culture significantly strengthens entrepreneurial orientation, a dynamic capability within the model. This model elucidates how organisational culture acts as a catalyst for innovative behaviours while providing a framework for improving organisational outcomes. The research contributes to both theoretical and practical understanding of how tailored organisational culture practices can accelerate innovation in nascent enterprises within a developing economy. Its originality lies in combining empirical rigor with insights into Vietnam's socio-economic context, offering broad implications for scholars and practitioners interested in cultural dynamics of innovation in the social enterprise sector.
    Keywords: organisational culture; innovation performance; nascent social enterprises; entrepreneurial orientation.
