Migrant Female Entrepreneurship: Driving Forces, Motivation and Performance

Tüzin Baycan-Levent and Peter Nijkamp

Chapter 10 in New Directions in Regional Economic Development, 2011 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The introduction of endogenous growth theory has led to new interest in the role of the entrepreneur as an agent driving technical change at the local regional level. This book examines theoretical and methodological issues surrounding the interface of the entrepreneur in regional growth dynamics on the one hand and on the other presents illuminating case studies. In total the book’s contributions amplify understanding of such critical issues as the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship, the entrepreneur’s role in transforming knowledge into something economically useful, and knowledge commercialization with both conceptual and empirical contributions.
